swinging at the park

I've been taking a beginning photography course through one of my favorite webistes, Two Peas. Today, it finally "clicked" how to freeze outdoor action. After countless blurry and out of focus swinging pictures, I finally "got" it! Yay!



A's shadow


M's shadow



Lisa and two of her cute girls came with us.




I don't think this girl can take a bad picture. Isn't she a cutie?

M and E were up to their usual spats. This time it was over which one of them was on the ladder first. It was a georgeous day today. I didn't touch the color in this one at all. The sky looked just like that!


Have a good weekend!
