Before & After

Before:

(let it be known that I am the world's worst "before" picture-taker,

and that this photo is not an actual "before" picture just an old

one that I've cropped)

After:

(complete demonstration made for the full benefit of

far-away friends and family who have not and will not

see me in a long time, and have unmercifully demanded such)

There you go: head shot, belly shot, and back view.

Really is a lot to ask from a frustrated photographer

(my dear hubby-man) who had bad lighting, a grain of sand

in the camera lens, and windy conditions to work with.

Thankfully, we were at a park with good friends,

and there's no frustration that can't be fixed by

good chats topped with good ice cream.

And just for because, I had to share this picture

of Reed sharing the love with his favorite blanket.
