That's Amore

I took this cute photo today! Doing the overlay/blending on the photo and paper took a long time, but it was worth it.

Walk Like a Lady

Alannah RUNS everywhere. I told her when she turns 7 that I expect her to WALK in places where it's appropriate to walk since she has no self-control yet. Right now I tell her to "walk" and moments later she bursts into a run.

During the egg hunt on Easter she surprised me with this lovely, ladylike walk. Doesn't she look like such a beautiful young lady?

Pink Coneflower & Butterfly

I took this photo quite some time ago, July 2006, on a trip to NYC with my friend, Maggie. After seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time, we walked away from Battery Park and I snapped this photo.
