I had a little fun with some templates and my lake photos. I can’t write much, because it’s my last day on the lake. Enjoy. SPL

Who's a sucker for a big sky?
No rainbows or sunsets here, but I love the big, blue sky. We have had a mixed bag of weather on vacation: overcast, to rain, to cloudy, to perfect blue. Here is a collection of sky snaps. Enjoy. SPL
That’s my son skiing. Doesn’t he look so little?
Moody blue sky that is threatening rain
That’s Smith Mountain (in Western Virginia)
Don’t count this as a sunset.

Fix-it Friday #64
This is my first entry in i heart faces Fix-It-Friday. Since I haven’t done this before, I didn’t realize that they wanted step-by-step instructions and I didn’t keep track. So, next time, I’ll be more attentive to my steps.
I enjoyed this exercise, taking a nice, but drab photo and turning it into something nicer. I hope I did that. Enjoy. SPL
the color purple: i heart faces challenge
Today, I am entering an I Heart Faces Photo Challenge.
I couldn’t get together with her until today. I have been avoiding all household responsibilities to get this in on time. Clair Bear here loves the color purple and was more than willing to oblige my happy snapping. Patient until the end, she made it so easy for me. So, check out the entry…
It's too darn hot
I took the kids on a field trip the other day, because it was 102F outside and I wanted to do something fun, but indoors. We have been having what feels like record-breaking temps recently. I’m sure that there’s some Nino/Nina something-0r-other to explain the wacky weather.
However, for our outing, we decided on the Virginia Aquarium. It’s recently renovated with many more interactive exhibits for the kids (and parents, too.) Yes, I touched the snake, too.
Enjoy. SPL
The ones that got away: poll
Thanks to all who voted in our poll yesterday.
Our clear winner was The boy at the birthday party. CONGRATS!
These are some great photos, but not necessarily the ones you’d want on your wall (unless you’re me.) I love the quirky faces and funny expressions. I need to find my ice-cream-covered-face shots for later…
Vote for your favorite and the winner will get a free 5″x7.”
(You can only vote once. If that’s your kid, encourage your friends and family to vote.)
Contest ends at 9am July 23, 2010.

a bit of miscellany
Sometimes life throws you a bit of randomness or a few non-sequitors. This is my response in pictures. Enjoy. SPL
Water fun
I love the water. I have always lived near the water. So, I decided to photograph water and kids playing in it. Here are the results. Let me know what you think. SPL
