Caught the sun breaking through the many clouds as I got home from work this morning.

We have a wonderful little produce market here in our city. They've been there less than a year but they are desperately needed. I went yesterday to get some things for potato soup and couldn't pass these beauties up! I brushed them with a good Spanish olive oil and then sprinkled them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper and roasted them for several minutes in a really hot oven. Absolutely delicious!

I'm not sure how I feel about this picture. I might come back and change it. I'm trying to do all of my editing within iPhone applications only. It makes it a little harder sometimes because I can't see as well as I can on a bigger screen. But it's also a challenge and there are so many awesome apps for photo editing. Anyway... I edited this one with the Film Lab and Live FX apps.

One of my kids admitted to me today that a few days ago he vandalized the school slide on the playground. [GASP!] So we went home after school and he dutifully gathered up a sponge and some soapy water and a towel and we headed back to the school grounds. It took a lot of elbow grease but he was able to remove the writing completely. I hope it doesn't happen again... but then again, if this is the worst of the problems I'm up against, I should thank my lucky stars!

Okay... so I'm back to post another shot. I think I like this one a bit better. If anyone is reading this, I'd love to hear which one you like better. This one was edited with Photo Forge and Live FX.

Dash Point Park, Tacoma, WA. On a warm afternoon, we can't help ourselves... we just need to be near the water's edge. Today we got to see a TON of crabs, fish, jelly fish, star fish, and sea stars! Some of the sea stars and star fish were HUGE. We could see them clinging to the pier's pillars. On one pillar was a really big group of crabs. So much fun!

Our hospital nursery has been temporarily displaced to a patient room while our main nursery undergoes a massive reconstruction project. The bad news: It's a WHOLE lot smaller and more cramped. The good news: I now have this view! This was taken in the early hours of the morning as the sun was first rising. Caught in the reflection is a baby under bilirubin lights. It was a quiet and peaceful night in the nursery with this sweet baby!
