Nature Boy

No, this is not a grainy image of Bigfoot emerging from the woods. This is the rarely photographed Nature Boy. This creature is said to be difficult to capture on film when he is in motion. Once he removes his footwear and is in the fresh air, he picks up tremendous speed. And though my efforts are amateurish at best, I can vouch for the difficulty of photographing this rara avis.
Though his mother is never seen outside without shoes on, this offspring seems to show no fear of rocks, dirt, grass or any other forms of "nature."
Notice how quickly he is able to escape the camera's lens. Observe the fleeting gracefulness of his movements.
This is the clearest shot I was able to get of Nature Boy in motion. You can almost see the smile of pure contentment on his face as he savors the cool deliciousness of evening grass between his toes

There's something wonderful about running through the grass in bare feet.

He is a really fast runner. Kids seem to sense the great freedom and adventure outside immediately and run for it!

Love the comparison made to other illusive forest creatures! I'm back and love all your posts.
Can't wait to play with you!
