A Sea of Tulips and a Silly Kitty Photos

My Spring Trader Joes Flower manipulated photo.
Bunnies By the Bay. I'm listing her on my EBAY
I set a staging area to photograph my Bunny By the Bay Bunny...and when I came back, this is what I found, he was so sweet, so left him there
I decided to take a little photo, he started to wake up
What started out as a yawn.... turned into this.....
I was so surprised when I looked back at the photos and saw this tongue...pretty funny.

"I" is for Icy

Mrs. Matlock (Jenny Matlock) has given us the letter "I" I was having trouble coming up with an "I" word. So I looked through my photos in Picasa. This is the word I came up with, Icy
The rose above was very Icy and frozen solid. I love how it looks
We don't get very many icy days here in Oregon, so I took this day and went on a photo shoot.
I am so thankful Spring is on its way!!!

Lovely Day

We made a quick trip to Trader Joes today, they had the most beautiful flowers
This was an easy way to give it a new look. It is "watercolor" in Photoshop,
I love how it changes it.

Happy Birthday

Today our wonderful daughter turns 28. Happy Birthday Stacey! We love you!
