Chalk Art - Before the Tree

Every year for the past few summers we have made a chalk sign along side of the driveway, then I have Charlie lean up against the tree and I attempt to take a few pictures of him.  I guess maybe it has been three years running.  Last year he was nearly impossible and ran around the tree to avoid the lens, this year he has been far more agreeable in terms of being photographed, guess he is learning that if he is to be a tv star he is going to have to deal with cameras.  But whatever it is - I appreciate the change.  Here is the boy with long flowing locks:

He since has had a bit of a trim, though not much.
