In Bloom

Wes and I took the kids to the Arboretum a couple of weeks ago.  Dallas Blooms is going on now, and the flowers were at their peak.  We knew it would be busy on a Saturday, so we got there early.  In addition to seeing all of the gorgeous flowers, I wanted to take Mia's four year old pictures as well as Quinn's 6 month old pics.  I don't know much about lighting or adjusting the settings on my new camera, so I wanted to play around with it a bit.  Mia was a good subject to take photos of because she liked to pose.  Quinn is setting up really well, so I wanted to get some cute pictures of him.  However, there was too much going on I guess because he kept getting distracted and didn't look at me much.  I got some good ones, though, and I'm pleased with them.  Hopefully, my pictures will improve as I learn how to use my camera.  My friend, Julie, is a photographer.  She said some weekend we'll go take some photos around Oak Cliff, and she'll show me how to use it.  I need to figure out how to edit them as well.  I might have to play around with PhotoShop to figure it out.
