Suburban Monday

These are the things that happen to the people in our little bubble of suburbia. Children playing, faceless men and women rushing to work, spring finally starting to appear.

Next Top Model

Some of our good friends flew out of state to attend a funeral this weekend. We got the chance to babysit their sweet dog, Rissy. I was able to get a couple of shots in with her. She's a fast one, but I snagged on of her looking right at me! I LOVE how the first one came out. I think I'll get this one framed for them, seeing as she's an 'only child.'

On these last two, I used a Pioneer Woman Photoshop Action called 'Vintage.' While I normally love it, I don't think it works best on these pictures. Good thing I always save the original. :)

Saying goodbye to Penny

I recently upgraded a smidge from my Pentax K100D to the Canon EOS XSi. I've never been a Canon girl, but I am definitely loving my new DSLR. But, I can't help but feel I'm cheating on my beloved first DLSR- the camera that spurred my love for photography. Thankfully, I will still get to see it, as it was sold to a dear friend of mine. I can only hope that it brings half as much joy to her as it did to me. There will always be a place in my heart for Penny the Pentax.

In honor of Penny, here are some of my favorite moments with her...

I've loved this rusty pipe since the day we moved into our home.
