{My weekend in phone pictures}

The last weekend of spring break and we decided to hit the beach, Ft. Myers beach to be exact.  The weather could not have been more beautiful!  We even vistied the Edison/Ford Museum. 

Of course you have to pick Thomas Edison's nose right?  Classy kid - hey Mom take the picture now!

Hotel pools are the best for some reason - per a 10 year old!

The weather was like this ALL weekend

Low tide at the beach was perfect

Mom got to put her toes in the sand

And watch the 10 year capture hermit crabs

The water kept leaving us! 

Which made for awesome finds - seacreatures - we put him in the ocean



baby star fish are so cute! Almost as cute a little wrinkled fingers



This is what we were waiting for - the most gorgeous sunset - NO CLOUDS

hear the sizzle???  So pretty

 So that was our weekend in phone pictures.  We had a great time and I will post "real" pictures soon!

{New Pictures - Practicing lots}

Ok so I have found some victims, willing participants, for my photography.  My friend Tammy allowed me to drag her around town and take some pictures. All in all I think they came out pretty good.  Here are a few of my favorite.

I am trying really hard to get to ALL manual shooting without flash, but it is taking some time and practice.  I refuse to use automatic though. :)
I also spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon just me a the lil guy.  Took him around our town just exploring, went to the park and got some really nice shots of him.  The track was his idea.  Love his sense of humor what a cool kid!  He cracks me up!

We even found this cute place that sells little mini bugers out of an old caboose!  We did the drive through.

How cute it that. Well that was a fun weekend filled with , friends, beautiful weather, lots of laughing, and over all fun times.  Until next time -
Keep Smiling,

Kim
