It's All About Lily!

This is my beautiful little grandbaby Ms. Lily. She is now seven months old. Our visit together last week was wonderful. I filled a memory card with photos and have tried to narrow them down to some favorites to share with you.

This first one was inspired by Robert when he posted a photo of his Lily's eyes a few weeks ago. I told myself I had to remember his photo when I visited my Lily. So thank you Robert for your inspiration. I must tell you too that this one is straight out of the camera. I am very pleased with it.

I zoomed out for a shot of her in the bouncy chair where she loves to sit and play.
You mean dinner was supposed to go in my mouth! The highchair she's sitting in was also used by her Mommy and her Uncle Chris when they were babies.

This was early morning on the day I had to leave. Let me tell you it wasn't easy saying bye-bye.

She has found her voice will project and happily loves making loud screams.

The tag on a stuffed toy is endless pleasure!

Those little hands are so very precious.

His eyes - how they twinkled!

I was looking through my pictures and trying to decide what I would blog about today. I saw the picture of the ice Santa from China on MSN a couple of days ago and thought it was awesome. I'm amazed at those who can take grains of sand as in the pic I posted yesterday or blocks of ice and see "outside the box" and make it come to life. They are amazing artists in every sense of the word. And yet, by the time their work is complete it is already slowly disappearing save for the photographer who has the instinct to capture it on film for the rest of us to marvel at and wish we'd been there.

The gray ice like picture is me. It was created using Paint Shop. I decided a couple of months ago I wanted to try something different from my usual jewelry, card making and scrap booking ventures and thought maybe I could do some altering of my digital photos. You can see I need LOTS of practice and knowing that I haven't tried anymore. Lets face it, a class wouldn't hurt. Hey, it could end up in the Museum of Bad Art I blogged about this week ~ wouldn't that be a hoot!!!
