Soft Focus

the camera has all sorts of fun "effects" built in. Yesterday's was called "cross process". Today I'm sharing some "soft focus" shots of the girls...

Zach and the girls discovered these itty bitty baby spiders on our front porch. It's been fun to watch them!

Sisters! (fun with the new camera)

I got a new camera this weekend and had a fun time playing around with it. Here's just a few of the pictures ...

Rainbows

If you look closely you can see the double rainbow that we spied over our neighborhood this evening...

Zach paid $8.22 for this excellent piece of art, signed by the artist herself!
