Photo Hunters - Steps



I was looking for picture of "steps" for the week's Photo Hunters. I wanted to drive to Santa Fe to take a picture of the Laredo Staircase. But alas, it wasn't a good day for a road trip (and there wasn't food involved.) So as I was trying to think of some other good steps these came to mind.

The Hunt - Steps



This is the staircase at our cabin during last summer's family reunion.



But I like this picture of these steps even better. I know that it's not the best picture but it's precious to me. Here is my 17 year old nephew playing with his cousin, my Shorty, by sliding like a madman down the steps over and over again. He's an amazingly sweet young man.




Step over to TNChick's for her take on the theme.

Steps are fun!! I still remember being very young and bouncing down them on my bottom...

I remember sliding down steps as a kid. Not sure what would happen if I were to try it now, though! :-)

I can see how these photos would be meaningful to you. Great choice for the hunt.

I used to slide down the steps on purpose when I was younger. These days it's always an accident, LOL.

Great photo!

Ha! My amazingly good sport cousin Cameron is like that with my kids. Guys like that will make the BEST dads some day!

I used to own a home with steps similar to this... my cats really miss it. I don't miss having to vacuum them from the bottom up and the top down. Such a pain!

The Laredo steps are awesome, just beautiful, but the family step photo is heart warming, the best use of steps.

wonderful staircase -- compared to that our summer cabins are like shacks!

He, he that's nice you have a private "step" chute in your house ! They look as if they had a lot of fun !
Thanks for your compliment of my header picture, but I am not yet satisfied it seems so big to me, but yesterday I had no time anymore so I just left it. But today it's sunday so I will have more time and I love to do it !!

Great idea! That second picture reminds me of olden days, when I did the same thing with my younger cousins. Great idea.

Those are lovely pictures. It's especially good to see a teenager who isn't too "grown up" to play with the little ones.

Looks like fun to me!

I love your "steps" photos - the second one especially. It's the reason steps were invented.

Thanks for sharing these nice photos. I remember when I was young, my cousins and I would stay on the stairs during family get togethers talking and playing while the adults played mahjong.

Fun!

I'm going to be in Santa Fe next weekend. Maybe I'll snag a picture for the future...
