Editing dilema

Have you ever had a hard time choosing the best color tones when editing your photos?  I'm experiencing a little of that right now.  I've edited this picture of my little cousin three different ways and happen to like them all, actually.  Are any one of them better than the other?  I don't know?  What do you think?

All smiles at I heart Faces

Over at I heart Faces, there is a photo challenge going on.  I thought what the hay, I'm going to enter one of the photos I took this weekend at my little cousin, Gabby's birthday party.  The girls just finished filling their bags with candy from the pinata they shredded to pieces.  I'd say they were quite happy.

Head over to I heart Faces to see all the other entries.  There are lots of good ones and I promise they will make you smile, too.

birthday girl

My little cousin, Gabby is having a birthday tomorrow.  Looking forward to spending time with my wonderful family and getting our grub on. Gabby's dad is quite the cook.  We can't wait!

Let's just say she can't wait for the cake to be served!

Just because...

I think drops of water are beautiful.  That's it.  Water is a precious resource and I appreciate it every time I turn on the faucet to drink a glass or wash my hands.

This past weekend I took engagement pictures for my friends.  I'm editing them slowly because I have lots of deadlines to meet for school in the next couple of weeks.  I can't wait to share them here.  I'm really excited about how they came out!  Who knew editing could be so much fun?

Why I love the beach...

Bison has so much fun every time we go.  He romps around with other dogs and especially loves to play with other Rhodesian Ridgebacks.  It's like he looks at them and thinks, "you're like me...you must be alright...let's play!"
