Day 155 - Heart Rock

While some people may like Hard Rock, I myself prefer Heart Rock. Sorry, I couldn't resist the play on words. Once again, sharing my love of photography with others has paid off. All my students know how much I love taking pictures and that I'm always looking for an interesting and unique subject to capture. While at camp a few of my girls found this heart shaped rock and insisted that I take some photos of it. The pictures turned out okay but I didn't find the heart stood out enough so I played with it a bit in Photoshop. Tracing with a ball mouse is definitely a challenge but practice makes perfect.

Day 91 - Rites of Spring

One of the many pleasures of childhood and Spring is dropping rocks into the sewers and hearing the infamous 'plop plop'. We went for lunch with our godchildren and their mom today. Since it was such a beautiful day we decided to go for a walk to the park. On the way to the park Peg and 'E' found a great pile of rocks that just happened to be by a sewer cover. After watching and hearing the splashes we went to the park for awhile. We of course stopped and stockpiled some rocks for our next stop. I have to admit the adults even picked up a few rocks and tried it. I guess no matter how old we get there are always things that bring us back to our childhood.
