Blinded By Happiness: #MySundayPhoto – 04.12.15

04/11/2015 R.C. Liley 20 Comments

I’ve fallen behind on the amount of pictures I take of Avery this week. This is both a good and bad thing, but mostly good.

Bad in the sense that I don’t have as many pictures to choose from for #MySundayPhoto, but good (if not great) because I spent more time just playing with Avery instead of sticking a camera in her face.

Sometimes I think we all forget the most important part is time, and we don’t need 100+ pics a day. I know it’s hard, but so worth it. Now if only I can do better about this from now on….

But it’s hard when you capture your kid beaming with delight and not a worry in the world, isn’t it? Here’s one I snapped of Avery being “blinded by happiness”.

The quality wasn’t that great to start with, as it was fairly dark and grainy. I think with the exposure adjustment and sepia combo, it turned out pretty good. Please check out the original below and let me know what you think.

Are you a chronic picture taker or feel like you need to take more pics?

Do you like using full color or enjoy using more black & white, sepia, etc for picture formats?

What’s in the Grass?: #MySundayPhoto – 04.05.15

As always, I have my favorite photo subject to share with you for #MySundayPhoto. We’ve already been having borderline hot weather in Texas (nothing new), so finding shade to play is a must.

There’s a small, grassy area in our neighborhood with plenty of shade from tree cover and Avery enjoys exploring the new territory. I wish I could take credit for this excellent shot of our daughter, but my wife, Going Mom, let her skill shine for this one.

Not a clue what she was finding there, but guess we never really know what our kids find most of the time. As long as she doesn’t eat it, it’s okay. Right? Right?

Since it’s hard to just share one, here’s a pic I snapped on my phone. The quality is not as great, obviously, but that smile turns it into a priceless work of art.

How is the spring-time weather coming along where you live?

Do you have any low quality pics of your smiling kid(s) that you are simply in love with?

Peek-A-Boo Swing: #MySundayPhoto – 03.29.15

I brought Avery to a bigger park/playground near the city we live in last week. I thought it would be a nice change from the small playground in our neighborhood, but she was still only interested in picking up mulch and peek-a-boo time.

Guess we can just stay in our back yard and let her pick through the garden if that’s all she wants! Nevertheless, this playground had baby swings and she LOVES swings! I captured this pic after 100 blurry shots and love seeing her face peek over the rim.
