A SMILE!

Some Jackson and Some Focus

Just a picture of Jackson to share.  And I would love to get the catchlights that I get in Lizzy's eyes in Jackson's.  She just sits still enough that I can nail focus easier.  I was focusing so much on focusing on her eyes, that I completely blew the highlights on her head.

 

Oil & Water

This would have been about ten times more lovely if I had a macro lens.  I took this shot by getting as close as I possibly could (about a foot) and then cropped in post processing.  I tried my hand at editing, but I think I went a little overboard with the sharpening and contrast.  And because I cropped a dark spot, I had to up the exposure a bit, and the outcome is quite grainy.  :) But isn't it pretty?!

I've lost count of the Days for 365...

Well, it's official. I have failed the 365 challenge.  I couldn't even make it to March :(  So, to make up for some lost time, I will bombard you with pics of Jackson.  He was sick last week with a fever of 103.  And then when he was feeling better, he fell and split his chin open, which needed a stitch and trip to Med Express.  He is doing soooo much better now, and I feel like I may have the energy to get back into taking and posting pictures.  Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

 

 Sadly, Jackson thinks it's funny when I tell him "No".

 

I know that his face is completely over exposed in this pic, but I love his expression in the reflection!
