Teenager wanted a new picture for his profile on Facebook. He wanted one with his practice jersey on with just his back. I did a few to please him and then did a few to please me. 😉 Here’s one I did for me and then I edited it with a Midnight Sepia action. Kind of dark, but dreamy.
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about my kids’ eating habits. They are both grazers. They would eat all day if I let them, especially fruits. Grapes, strawberries, oranges, bananas, apples…you name it, they’ll eat it! They would both eat 3 apples a day if I would let them, but it could be worse, right?
I’ve been going through my Photoshop actions, so I’ve been trying some out and deleting a bunch. On this one, I used Honey Retro from the Coffee Shop Blog. If you haven’t checked out that site, you’re really missing out! Go see all the wonderful free actions and tutorials.
This has been edited using a Lomo Action. I’m actually not sure where it came from, but if you google Lomo, it’ll show you tons of options.
In case you’re interested, I edited this picture with the Totally Rad Action called Troy (or something close to that).

I was so excited to see these new signs were hung downtown today. It’s great to have these little reminders of an amazing season. Took this from my car and was lucky enough to get part of Toomer’s Corner in the background. Tomorrow is the HUGE celebration.
I’ve spent much of this week keeping my eyes peeled for donut shaped objects or spots in architecture. But, when Candi posted hers it inspired me to think of other colorful donut shaped things that could be stacked and this is what I came up with.
Saturday the kids were running around in the yard with Daisy, all three just having an absolute blast. The fun ended when Daisy when she decided she was Wonder Dog and could leap off the deck. Needless to say she came in side limping. It didn’t get any better the rest of weekend, so I had to take her to the vet today. It appears to be an injured knee based on Dr. Bond’s examination. We opted not to do x-rays and to let mother nature take care of it. Please pray that she heals, so that she can get back to chasing the kids around in the yard, minus the deck!
See a few other pictures of her at the vet here. (All of these were taken with me having one hand on her and the other hand just holding the camera out, hoping for something decent. Had to make sepia tone because the wall color does not lend itself to picture taking.)
May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.
