Photo Shoot With My Daughter

This is a photo shoot I did with my daughter just a couple months ago. Since then, she has cut those gorgeous locks off for cancer. What a sweetheart. She looks so beautiful with her 'angle bob' cut. I chose just a few of my fav's to share with you. I edited these in PS9 and then added some more fun with Picnik.

Finding Shelter From The Rain

Last night we had a major amount of rainfall and when Keith and I went out after it stopped, the ditches were overflowing, there was flooded areas on ppl's yards and he happened to look up the road and there was a family of skunks rummaging around. We figured they got flooded out from their home. He followed them, from a distance lol, and by the time I was able to grab my camera, this is the only shot I was willing to get close enough to get, but I think it's cute!! They're all in a row heading for home ...

Joys Of Living In The "Country"

Although we don't live in the true "country" we consider where we live to be very much like it. We're close to the water on one side, yet at the end of our dead end street is a forest area. So we have the best of both worlds and you never know what you'll see! 2 summers ago there were 2 deer running down the middle of our rd and of course by the time I realized what I was actually seeing, they were gone - yesterday morning, this little guy was hanging around the bird feeder while his/her friend was in our backyard trying to figure out how to get through our fence!! I admit, I'm not a morning person, but this time of the yr makes me think different - the birds, the wildlife - it's pretty neat!

Puppy Love!!!

Some more pics of our pups. Buddy is the smaller of the 2. They're the same breed (Bullweiller which is American Bulldog & Rottie) but their parents are opposite. Riley's mom is the Rottie and Bud's was an American Bulldog. You'd think they're siblings, but they aren't! They're a yr apart and SO different. Bud's HIGH energy where Riley, well, you can see here, likes to just chill!

The bottom 2 pics are of Buddy and Maggie, our neighbors dog. These 2 have been inseparable since she was brought home! They have dug hole after hole under the fence to the pt we've given up. Maggie comes when Bud calls her! LOL! It's too cute. He sits and waits for her to come out and then under the fence she comes and off they go. She's an American Bulldog. He's introduced her to his pool and they both love it and have a blast!

Our Backyard Fountain

Keith bought this last yr and it suits our home perfectly. It's rustic looking and just such a neat piece. I thought it would be fun to see what I could do with it as far as what kind of shots I could get in. I did some fun editing in PSE9 and this is what I came up with! Kinda neat!

Another lily from my kid's for Mother's Day. This one is just gorgeous and such a beautiful color. Thank you, Andrew and Ashleigh!!

Mother's Day Lilies

Hello!! I've been playing in PSE9 and having some fun. This is one of the lilies my kid's got me for Mother's Day. I think my favorite editing is the "reflection". Also, have a peek HERE to see what we found in our front tree!
