Today’s photo is actually a gallery of photos from our day at the amusement park and nature preserve. It was one of our rare chances to see my nieces. It’s always nice to see them, and I love to take pictures of everyone together. I edited everything in...

Xander playing with his blocks in a basket. This game entertained him for a solid hour. I really need to rethink my toy buying strategy… perhaps start shopping in the home section? The photo came out a bit blurry, so I took some liberties with the editing. I...

I snapped this quick shot to show my mom Xander’s latest haircut. Our local salon specifically for kids shut down, so we had to find a new place that could do a decent kid’s haircut. I had heard many horror stories regarding numerous local salons, so I was...

Ross was watching a movie… Return of Pink Panther or something equally scary 😉 … and Xander decided the best vantage point to join in was from Ross’ lap. He eventually dozed off on his perch. I edited this in PicMonkey. (I’m obsessed.) I added...

I have once again caught the elusive and rare Pandora cat on camera. It is a grainy shot taken in near darkness so as not to disturb it. I thought that I had discovered it dead… it is belly-up, after all… but the female Pandora cat was just keeping my...

Today we retired my son’s treasured sipper cups. They kind of… oh, ooops… fell into the trash. He wasn’t exactly broken up about it, because he had some fun new glasses to use. I found a set of four BPA-free glasses with lids and straws for...

Another photo of our cat Selune. I would love to get more of Pandora, but she is not as cooperative as Selune. I think Selune was a supermodel in another life. 😉 I edited this one in PicMonkey. I cropped a bit out and then added the Daguerreotype frame which also...

Just a quick photo snapped of my son and my eye while we were outside today. I edited with PicMonkey. I used the Tranquil effect. Then I added a small Sunglow spot between us, which improved the color over what was there from the real sun glare. Then I...

It was very warm here today. It seemed to zap away Xander’s energy for a bit. At one point he just sprawled out on the floor and made a half-hearted attempt to play with one of his toy trucks. This was edited with Pixlr-o-Matic. I used the Lucas filter, Beam...

Just a random, over-edited photo of myself. I used Pixlr-O-Matic to edit. I applied the Antonio filter, Gritty overlay, and Sand frame to get this...
