Week 23 good to WOW SOOC Slides/Swings

Slides and Swings!  I have hundreds of photos of my children on a slide or a swing.  I have found that with my new camera and my obsessive desire to blur the background that taking pictures of a child on a slide or a swing became a lot harder.  So in the last few weeks looking towards this prompt I ended up with a lot of blurry faces and a camera that was still "focusing" as a child whizzed past.  That's okay!  I enjoy a challenge, plus it made choosing easier than it could be--still hard--but easier.  As it is I still have 6 I am going to share.  2 of them are with my old camera.  Except for cropping I never edited my photos pre-February purchase of a dSLR, so I thought it was time to edit and share a few favorites.  After all, if you think my boys are cute now, wait until you see what they looked like 5 years ago!

Slide--Huckleberry age 5

Swing--SnapDragon  age 17 months

These were both taken with my 3MP point and shoot on program mode, the data about it just isn't there.  It didn't even take pictures at a 4x6 size, but loved this camera.  Still was happy to upgrade this year to my Nikon.
