Day 173: Park Bridge

It was beautiful today, so I went over to the local park at lunch and it was packed. I did get a shot of a couple of little girls, Lilly and Hanna, playing on one of the bridges. I could have stayed outside all day but work pulled me back.

Day 169: Hand n Hand

Today was a beautiful day, a great day to go for a walk with someone you love. I was walking with the person I'm in love with while photographing a couple in love. Isn't my job great! Ok, is that too much love in one post. Anyway we had a great time photographing an engagement session so I used a nice hand holding shot for my pic of the day.

Day 157: Red Drop

Today I decided to play with water and hot sauce. Timing was key, I had to let the drop start to fall then click the camera shutter just as it hit the water in the glass. I like the red drop at the top of the little water fountain.
