In an effort to at least feel like things are back to normal, I decided to participate in my most longstanding Tuesday photo links. These are the links I first found and have experienced much joy in.
First...Texture Tuesday:
This week's challenge was to use Kim Klassen's new texture, Embrace. I took this picture at the zoo today...fabulous time with a friend and our daughters. Our zoo always has the most interesting plants though winter created slim pickings. This is one layer of Embrace at Soft Light 100% partially masked off of the flower. Also, one layer of the photo again on top at Soft Light 44%.
Something we have been trying to help our middle son do is choose to focus on the positive rather than the negative. The easiest way to teach him this will be if we embrace joy ourselves.
Now no matter how sweet my little Sunflower appears...
...she doesn't always embrace joy...
...but she certainly embraces life with a passion! You would think she'd look a little more pleased after Mommy spent $3 on a crazy critters juice and put food in front of her. She'd been claiming she was hungry every 5 minutes since she finished her last snack only a little more than an hour earlier.

oh my word, what a CUTIE. love the expression:)
My son claims hes hungry a lot as well, like 30 minutes after he eats! Lol but nonetheless, your girl is cute as can be! Love the texture shot as well!
Beautiful shots and you're right we sometimes have to live in something before we feel it . . .Happy Tuesday xx
What a face, lol! She's cute and I'm jealous you live somewhere where there's ANY type of flower growing outside right now!
These flowers give off a wonderful light, beautiful picture.Preciosos y dulces retratos, encantadores. I wish you a happy Tuesday.
A beautiful photo for TT, and we should all embrace - joy...every day and every moment in each day! Happy TT.
I love the shades of the pinks in your first shot - as well as the depth of field. Also really appreciate the character from your subject in your second capture.
Hey you! Wow. The 1st shot is really stunning! But how can my fav not be your little cutie! Hahaaa... love that she is quite the character. You always capture her so beautifully.
I love your interpretation of the TT theme, and your images are just perfect! Your textured flower (and I am also jealous of ANY flower this time of year) is lovely, but your daughter is adorable... such a character!
Love that first shot. It is so true that we need to embrace joy!!
