Whoops! - a photo on Flickriver

Whoops!

If you came from here, or even if you didn't, let me explain what happened.

I took my son Elliott to Clark Park today and usually we stay in the little kids playground area. As is often the case, that's not good enough for Elliott and he starts running over to the big kid's playground area, like he did today. There on the swings was another little boy, probably around his age, riding on his stomach on the regular swings while his mother sat on the adjacent swing. Well, Elliott just had to do that too and so he climbed onto the swing, on his stomach, and started swinging.

Seeing a possible good photo opportunity, I laid down on the ground in front of him and got my camera out to take a couple pictures. The first, from the link above, is what happened right before he fell face first off the swing and onto the rubberized ground below.

This was captured purely coincidentally but I think it's an absolutely hilarious picture.

And in case you were wondering, he was fine. He got up, looked a little dazed for a minute, smiled and then climbed right back onto the swing to swing some more.
