Staring Into Space: #MySundayPhoto – 03.08.15

It’s been pictures galore in our house, and we only have one subject; Avery. No surprise, huh? This week’s My Sunday Photo is of Avery staring out of our windows where a new house is being built behind us.

We’ve been watching the workers quickly and efficiently construct the two story house that seems to dwarf our one story, but hopefully the new neighbors will be nice!

I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to editing photos, but figured I’d have fun and see what I can come up with. Here is the original photo:

Cute, of course, because, when isn’t she? But here is what I came up with. I just messed around with the basics like hue, brightness, etc. and added a blur effect.

What do you think? Too much? Any quick tips on how to make photos a little more lively? I want to try doing a black and white one but having just one part in color. What is that called?

This week’s My Sunday Photo is from the “crazy” winter weather we had in Texas. I took Avery out in her bear suit as the snow continuously fell all day and she enjoyed the change of scenery. Until she face-planted several times, then she was ready to go back in. I know, us Texans just aren’t made for the snow. Give us the heat back!!!

I have a lot of pics I could use, but this one captures her cuteness pretty good. So many came out blurry, but this one is nice and clear. Okay, sorry for breaking any rules here. but I must share one more!

Poor girl. I could tell she wanted hold it together and stay outside longer, but the cold finally made her give.

Avery got her See N Say as a birthday gift back in November, but she’s just now really getting into it. She’ll immediately find it in the room and pull on it to make the various animal sounds. Her favorite is when the song “Old MacDonald” starts playing. She’ll start dancing to the music as you can see below.
