Just hangin' out!

As soon as you can get the keys from me mom, I'm ready to go!

I promised I would cut back on the pictures of Ann Marie....so here's just one. ;o) I wanted to show what can be done from a simple snapshot. This photo was taken at my father's funeral in May. A friend was holding her and she fell asleep.  I cropped it, turned it b&w, softened it and put a soft oval around it. It looks so pretty hanging on the wall now. sleeping angel My father adored Ann Marie.

This is what I have for this week's challenge...two flamingos at the Hyatt in Kaanapali, Maui.

Alright Mom, I'm giving you 5 seconds to PUT the camera AWAY! Did ya hear me or  what???

This is so cool, because I haven't been on a vacation in years and I just got my new camera a few months ago. What better place to shoot pictures than an island? Upon descent from the plane I was able to capture two cool mountains volcano and  cool mountain. Because I don't fly often and the plane was teetering from side to side in gusty winds, I was happy I was able to get some cool shots from the sky. After we landed, for 7 days I went nuts with my camera, shooting everything from the resort  swan, flamingos,  blue parrot,  weird looking branch, to ventures out,  ballooner,  country in the mountains. Last but not least, the GORGEOUS water views along side the road  gorgeous water 1 and  gorgeous water 2

This is a funny looking bird that lives at the Hyatt Regency in Kaanapali, Maui.funny bird

This is my 9 month old baby, Ann Marie.  It looks like she was thinking about something important, like a new tooth.Ann Marie
