Giraffes

I love giraffes. Several years ago on a trip to the zoo with Dad and Linda, we were all given nicknames with animals names, Heather Hippo, Linda Elephant and I was Mummy Giraffe! The nicknames have stuck, so every time we go to the zoo it reminds us of our visit with Dad and Linda and we always go to visit the giraffes!
I edited this photo to b&w for the sb.com challenge.

POV at the Zoo

These are a couple of photos I took on our trip to the zoo last weekend. For the photo challenge at scrapbook.com we had to have point of view photos. The turle had large boulders around it to stop him from running away (lol) so I stood up on one of them to get a good shot of him eating.
The penguins are new to the zoo and this was our first time to see them.

7th Grade!

I can't believe that Heather is in 7th Grade already! This year is going to be a busy one. She is taking pre-algebra and 8th grade advanced science!! She is so smart and we are so proud of her. In 3 weeks she will be a teenager! Where did the time go? Where did my baby go!

Blue Lure

I down loaded Picasa2 this morning and was playing around with it. I really wanted to change the background to b&w and have the blue lure stand out. I was not able to get just the lure as there is still a bit of green around it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Reflections

This photo was taken back in June when we all went out on the boat. I took another reflection photo that I changed to black and white and posted here earlier.
