Here’s this weeks Weekend Snapshot. Between running around with the fam and rebuilding my computer, I didn’t take many photos. However, Willow and I did run down to the park on Saturday morning. The sun was out for the first time in several weekends and she enjoyed getting out of the house.
It wasn’t until I returned home and downloaded the images that I noticed the sun rays and halo effects on these images.
