Baby sitting

My older brother and I were babysitting some family friends children and KungFu Panda 2 was on.  I popped some popcorn and the following scene ensued:

POPCORN. . . . 

 FEED ME!!!!

YEP, THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!

Sunny thought day. . .

So I was playing around with more photos in Picasa today and ended up with these.  The picture of Hugh (Cody said it looked like Peter Pan) and the red sunflower (yes, it is a sunflower!) were over exposed.  I applied a focal black and white to all of the pictures and then applied a soft focus to the over exposed ones.  The orange flower is one of my better original pictures and I merely added a tiny amount of saturation to the focal black and white. 

 I also found this picture that my mother took of me while we were finishing laying sod.  There are three facts about this picture; 1) yes that is a goat pen, and no I am not wearing shoes, 2) Yes those are boot cut jeans that are rolled up to just below my knees, and 3) bare feet and boot cut jeans do not mix, you end up with really dirty cuffs and clay stains don't come out. . .

I know that it is December, but think sunny thoughts!!!

Such a wonderful thing. . .

I had to download Picasa to re-size a few pictures for a poster that my mother made.  After fixing the pictures I had a little time to "play" with a few pictures. . . I now love (very, very, very much) Picasa.  The ones I re-touched are below.

One of my favorites!

The first one I retouched. . .

 

It was a lot of fun playing with all of these pictures.  I am so excited that I finally figured out which of the actions only colored part of the picture and turned the rest of it black and white.

The "Rad" snow man

 It snowed a little while back, and then (more recently) last night, but all of the snow from this escapade melted off. 


Don't you just love the hair on this guy?!?!











The full body shot of the "radical" snowman.  I came home from somewhere (I still can't figure out where) and was told to "Take a picture before it melts!!!"

Then the close up of his face.  I love the stick for a nose, and the former-stakes-turned-swords-turned-arms.
