Beach Feet
It’s getting warm enough to spend time on the beach again. The girls and I wandered down on Sunday and spent some time running in and out of the water. It’s still a little cold for me but they had a great time.

My Little Angel
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.
Read MoreDisco Divas Dance Dance Dance
On Saturday night, both my young’uns were invited to a disco party for an 11 year old friend. Juniper had a grand ol’ time to very loud music, bad acoustics in the boy scout hall, flashing lights, a smoke machine and flickering necklaces. My youngest wanted to have a good time but I think she was just too little to appreciate the loud chaos that erupted. Before we (the old farts) ducked out of the party with the little one and went for a nice dinner, I took a few snaps of the disco divas in action. They came out better than I expected.
Read MoreThis Week's Second Shotz – My Top Three Picks
I participate in Second Shotz, a great Flickr group that promotes creative editing with each other’s photos. Each week one member is chosen to submit a photo for editing by the other group members. Last week, I submitted a photo of my little Willow basking on a grassy knoll.

There were ten published edits of Willow on the knoll. They were all great and we (Willow and I) had a blast looking to see what each had done to ‘Willow’
Here are my top three Willow edits from the week:

My number three choice was Broken Perfection’s edit of Willow’s photo. I liked the addition of the vibrant sky. It added some color and energy to the shot.

My second favorite was from BenSpark. I thought this was down right creative and very very cute. Great shot of the sunflowers too.

And Numero Uno goes to _peteej_ who came up with this amazing edit. I’m not sure if I’d like Willow pitched out of a plane over the ocean but I know she’d have a blast. I actually showed her this photo and she got a big kick out of it. The next question she asked was when could she go jump outta theplane!
As you can see, we have a lot of fun participating in this group. If you’d like to see more and join in the fun, jump on over to Second Shotz.
Read MoreWeekend Details Revealed!
A couple of days ago I posted a mystery photo with the title Guess What I did on Saturday? For today’s Weekend Snapshot, I can reveal to all who didn’t peek at my flickr stream my Saturday activity:
The girls and I popped through the automatic car wash. I know, that sounds really exciting. Willow was having a good time watching all the brushes go past her window however, Juniper was not so interested.
