Shooter's Comments: As I was driving down Wells Street back to the office, I noticed a little picnic of three off to my left. I debated on turning around ,but since traffic was pretty light figured it was worth a chance.

I always feel a little awkward approaching people, but when there's a cute little babe sitting on a picnic table you just get over it. Talking to Joel Leonhardt, I found out the lunch with his wife and infant daughter was in celebration of his birthday. I snapped a couple of photos, watched little Scarlet's face light up when her daddy talked to her, wished them a happy day and went on my way.
