1. Winter
During the winter it takes forever to get ready to go outside. Multiple layers. Boots. Snow pants. Gloves. Hats. Coat.
2. Black and White with Selective Coloring
3. The Wind
From the archives. A favorite shot from our vacation in South Carolina. Alyssa's favorite spot on the boat.
4. Framed
I have decided to get more of my favorite photos off my hard drive and framed. I created a corner photo collage that I decided to add to our new sitting area in the living room. Love the results.
5. Remember when...
When Chad was in the Marine Corp he was gone for months and months at at time. That meant, from the time Alec was a few months old until he was about 2 it was often just him and I. Now, when it is the rare moment of just the 2 of us we invariably have the "remember when we..." conversation. He loves talking about how we spent our time together.
Show
Tell
Yet another set up to perfect the bokeh. When our neighbor brought over their annual poinsettia I first thought "how nice it is that they give these to neighbors every year" and then I thought "this would be perfect for practicing bokeh in front of the tree!"
Seriously? I don't know how you do it all. LOVE the ornament photo. REALLY LOVE the framed photos. Brilliant!

I think it's a great idea to get more pics from the computer to actual prints. I have recently started doing this too and everytime I pass one in my house, I'm thankful that I just took the time to actually get the picture on paper and framed.

I still say you take the scavenger idea to another level...just saying!! Is this what you mean/want by "comments"?!
