The skate park

I took my son to the skate park last weekend, then played around a bit with photo shop, here are some pics,

No photo shopping on this one, I just thought it looked cool!



Here is a shot I took, as you can see it was a cloudy day, and my son looks a little dark.



I decided to make the ski bright blue, and did a little brightening I also removed the trees from the background



Then just for fun, I got rid of the ground as well to make it look like he was getting some serious airtime!


This last shot has no photo shopping either, just caught him a second before his bail!!

Playing in the sink!!

Here are a few shots I took playing around in the sink, I was emptying a shampoo bottle so I could recycle it, and took a few shots of the water running into the container....I thought they looked pretty cool!

Pine Park

These pictures were taken at Pine Park, We think it is a natural spring coming up out of the ground, it's still a little cool here so it is partially frozen.








Here are a few other shots from the day



I love that we ran into snow, bugs and cactuses on the same day!!!

The first picture was taken in my front yard, I want the focus to be on the kids, but there is alot going on in the background, I have been playing with removing things, I know I still need alot of work, but here is my first attempt!!
