Practice makes perfect

We are having a lovely time with my siblings and their family here near Boston.  This is my 16 year old nephew Chris, practising his skateboard moves on the half pipe that he and his Dad (my brother Brendan) built in their back yard.  I say back yard because, as we are in Massachusetts, the term "back garden" does not seem quite appropriate.  The temperature is hovering just above freezing but its been a bright sunny crisp sort of a day - great for photos.

My extra is a shot of Jess enjoying the sunshine during our morning walk earlier on today.
