Feeding the ducks

So I took dd out to the duck pond at the park. We needed to get out of the house the weather was good and dd had so much fun chasing the geese and ducks. Can you believe it's spring and almost easter. I wanted to do easter pictures outside but it just doesn't work that well with all the snow on the ground and everything looking dead. Oh well we can use all the water we can get. Thanks for the cc on my Zoo pictures. I have more but thought I would share something new. I got a lot of compliments on my conversions on those pics and someone asked if it was an action. I did not use an action I created a preset in curves and that's what I used. I really liked the way it looked on the zoo pics. CC is always welcome and encouraged.

I had to snap this pic of the blue bird as it was so pretty and colorful in all the dead and snowy environment we were in. It's exciting to see the birds back as it means spring is coming.

And this one is just for fun. We finally made the switch and turned dd's crib into a day bed. This is her first night trying to get her to sleep in her bed. We spent an hour putting her back in bed and trying to convice her to stay there. We finally had to just shut the door so she couldn't get out of her room (she has a night light.) So when I went to bed I thought I better check on her and make sure she was in her bed. Nope she grabbed her blanket off her bed and got in to her bouncer (turned into a rocking chair) and went to sleep. I had to snap a picture.
