Today at the farmer’s market…

Notice how the coffee cups switch hands and the parent in front of the camera has to hold the lisyanthus.

Kombinat! 07.31.05 at 8:35: Hello Frank. Lovely Family outing. Enjoy the Summer.
Tamar 07.31.05 at 8:37: What a beautiful family! How exciting to get to know you all in the virtual flesh! Thanks so much for sharing these pictures.
fp 07.31.05 at 8:49: There are a few more pictures quite like these over on FlickR. Look for tag “Madison Farmers Market”
Harry 07.31.05 at 6:30: A lovely family indeed. The mystery of the coffee cups and the lisyanthus cries out for an answer (or speculation).
fp 07.31.05 at 6:52: Hold the coffee far enough away that the oldster can’t steal it, load the oldster down with something fragile so they are unlikely to wrestle you for the coffee… I also noticed that when there are two tallers and a shorter, the shorter goes in the middle. If there are two shorters and a taller, then the taller goes in the middle. These seem to be unwritten rules of composition in my family.
Harry 07.31.05 at 8:30: Oh, the humanity! The oldsters’ lives are filled with social engineering and coffee grief. The compositional rules are understandable and bear no weight of opprobrium, but the treatment of the oldsters fills me with outrage.

Though really, the younger family members look so friendly and nice that a certain amount of social engineering is forgiveable.
