Senorita Pearl!


Have I ever mentioned that The Pearl is an early riser?  At home I usually get up around 5am just so I can have some quiet time before she appears...  Well let's just say she is still on her non-vacation clock.  She appeared at my bedside this morning at 5:15am whispering, the sun is out!!!  :)  It gave me a chance to play with Photoshop on some very fun photos I took of my little model yesterday.  We went down to the beach right before sunset together!  Oh, I am going to have fun with my camera this week!!!!  

Thankfully, a Mom (thanks Tracy) I met at the Easter Egg hunt shared an on-line photography class with me for Photoshop given by Jessica Sprague.  I jumped at the opportunity to finally learn how to edit my photos at my own pace.  I am just starting to play with it, but I love it so far...  So the two photos above are my first attempts in their Camera Raw Editing Mode.  These are two of my favorites from Beach Photo Shoot #1 of the beautiful Pearl.

Jeff and Ainsley are already down at the beach as I post.  Her Rubiness and Aunt Bop are still sleeping!!!!

Time to refill my coffee!!!!!

Blessings from Mexico,
