Gorgeous Day

Filed Under: Family, Photography

It got close to 70 degrees yesterday, but it was really windy. With Carsyn being sick I didn’t take him out long, but I did want him to enjoy it. So while he was napping Dustyn and I spent a lot of time outside. It was so gorgeous. Just makes me want Spring to be here even more. It is only going to be 40 today but the rest of the week it is going to be in the 50s & 60s. yay! Warm weather makes me so happy! I get sad when it is so cold, even though it doesn’t get that cold here. I could never live up north. ha ha!


Touch-Up Tuesday:

Hover over the image to see the SOOC

I cropped and straightened it. It was a little crooked because I was kneeling down. Then I warmed up the image some to get that glowy effect. Then resized and sharpened for the web.

Photography love...

    What lovely photos. Can't even imagine what it must be like to live in such cold conditions. Here in South Africa in winter it may go as low as -5 Deg Celcius at night, but during the day it's generally warmish. Our coldest temp during the day may be about 10 Deg Celcius. Enjoy the rest of your week and keep warm :)

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.
