This photo is pretty much SOOC. I did lighten just a tad, and that's it! 

I found a beautiful field to photograph, and this guy made my first shot!

Project 366 Rewind #25

It felt like a pretty long week. But I did get plenty must needed rest Saturday, so I should be ready for this week.

Let's rewind last week:

Sunday- M.y grandson's t-ball. He had no interest in my photographing him that day. :)

Monday-My daughter bought him his own pizza to make and bake. He really enjoyed that!

 Tuesday-A baby bird ran up to our door as we got home. Later we watched as he tried to fly. So sweet!

 Wednesday- My Hydrangea's are beginning to bloom.

 Thursday-My grandson insisted I get a picture of this red bird in the backyard! :)

 Friday-I took several pictures of this dragonfly. This is one of my favorites. I didn't realize how ugly their faces are!

Friday-This is a view of my Lantana's through my side garden fence.

My favorite photo this month has to be my Hydrangea!

Thanks for stopping by and viewing our week!

Hydrangea | Shoot.Edit.Submit.

A couple of months ago we planted Hydrangea in our side garden, in hopes to have them full grown and beautiful for our wedding next year. I went look to see if I had any blooms, and finally I did. Armed with my camera I took a few shots. Now to get the acidity correct for some beautiful blue Hydrangea.

Rose Edit

This is my SOOC

And this is my edit.

Although I love the way this looks, this edit really was suppose to have more to it. I was following along to the Tuesday Tutorial that Sarah and Ashley have. I discovered I have a really hard time with brushes! I was going to read on this and finish, which I will, but I do honestly like this look.
