Green Beret

What a proud time!!!
Last week we flew to North Carolina to see Charlie graduate from
the Green Beret program! It is beyond my ability with words to
express the incredible pride I felt as I watched my son take his
place among the very finest soldiers in the world! He has made
some life long friends going through the regiment that faced
these guys over the last year - I can tell you that each 1 of them
are guys that you would be proud to have respresenting our
country! Charlie, Brook and Ava will be moving to their new
home in Clarksville, Tennessee this week.
It was truly a trip I will never forget!

Guess who came for a visit!!!!!

I have been consumed with getting up my new website - here
and have not been posting as I would like - AND we had 2
beautiful visitors last week - Brook and Ava!!! Ava is growing
so fast and so gorgeous! She has really captured our hearts...
We are all like putty around her! Courtney came every night
and got some "mothering" practice in by feeding Ava and
helping with her baths! The week FLEW by and when it came
time to take them back to the airport we felt like were having
our baby stole from us! And Brook is a truly incredible mother!

final step in the Green Beret journey!

Terra Ceia Lagoon

Every week I travel to the Bradenton / Sarasota area over the Sunshine Skyway.
After passing over the bridge I pass through a little area on the water called
Terra Ceia - it's absolutely gorgeous! Last week I stopped at an opening in
the mangroves and capture a few images of the lagoon and the houses
hidden on Terra Ceia Bay...

now!

Photoshop Fun!

I have a few photographer friends that are often sending me the
latest buzz on Photoshop actions and plug-ins. The pictures below
are same image with the 2nd one being adjusted by a new plug-in
for Photoshop that I down loaded a trial version of... It has several
dramatic changes that you can make to your images - I find it
fascinating! Try it for yourself TOPAZ ADJUST

What do you think???
