I am still playing with the effect I discovered the other day. I added some color to it and I am hooked!
These flowers are from our Clementis Henryi plant.

Reading Together
I love watching Mark and Andrea read together. At least once everyday I will find them curled up with a book reading. Andrea usually gets to chose the book, and Mark rarely fusses at what she choses.
I am so thankful for this blessing. Not only do they both get to enjoy books, but they are spending time with one of their best friends.
Feet (Revisited)
Allan had a business trip to Chicago yesterday. Once the kids were in bed, I experimented with a new idea I found. I am not sure when or where I heard the term “Platinum”, but I liked how it looked. I did a little research on how to do platinum effect and discovered it looks really neat on scenery. Just for fun, I tried it on a people picture. The results were impressive!
The original picture can be found here.
Sledding Hill
I have had this idea for awhile, but could never made it look the way I wanted. Today I had a little bit of time to play, and experimented with getting the picture just right. It is not my usual style, but I like the uniqueness of it.
To make it even more fun, Andrea is blowing bubbles on our winter sledding hill.
Double Trouble
Megan
I love this close up of Megan licking whip cream off her lips.
Sledding Survey
Just for fun, I started playing around with this picture. I am not sure which one is the most appealing, so I was wondering what other thoughts were. You can see larger pictures in a slide show by clicking on any of the pictures.
Then, would you please comment on your favorite picture and why?
Thanks a lot!
Kids sledding
The kids and I met some friends at the park yesterday to go sledding together. We met at the perfect time!
I usually do not let the kids sled if the hills are too crowded, I have heard of too many accidents. But, while it was a lot more crowded then when we normally go, it was not over crowded. The people on our hill were very considerate of each other, which makes sledding a lot more fun.
I was not comfortable with the kids taking Megan sledding, though she really wanted to go. After watching the crowd and seeing other little ones Megan’s age enjoy going down hill, I let the girls take her down. She smiled and screamed the whole way down.
I enjoyed being able to practicing taking action shots. I am a lot happier with these sledding pictures than the ones that I normally get. 
I discovered a few mistakes, and am looking forward to taking the kids again and seeing how the next batch of pictures turn out.
