Happy Mother's Day to all you fabulous mothers! 
After a few weeks of life getting in the way, I am happy to be back among all of you super creative individuals, and back to Lightroom, Photoshop and my camera.
Amy is having us capture food for this week's challenge, or rather she had us capture food. I've had plenty of colorful food this week, but unfortunately did not get to check out her blog until today... the day that we go food shopping and do dinners at my parents'. 
Good thing photographed food does not spoil (unless you get a computer virus and don't back up regularly that is) because I'm pulling this one out of my archives.
Having gotten my education in holistic medicine and nutrition, I'm a huge proponent of salads. At our house, a salad is our side dish more nights than not. They're quick to make and clean up is a breeze! Just think, one less pot that needs to be scrubbed. 
And with the recent lettuce recall, it's easy to omit it and substitute other veggies. Just please wash them all thoroughly.

And now, to whet your appetites:


See? Simple. =)

Stop by Amy's blog to participate and share some of your favorite colorful foods.

Okay, so today is technically Monday, but time (once again) got away from me this weekend and I'm entering late. =\
This was one of the first shots I took using my dslr. I love it in full color, but once I isolated the yellow, the photo took on such a different mood. Now I don't know which one I like more!

What a beautiful little girl. I had fun 'fixing' this one because I could really enhance the eyes, and open up the shadows on her face. (When I try to do that with my son's photos, he looks too girly!)
So here are my contributions.

Yum. Even though I'm not a huge tomato fan, that one looked so delicious I was ready to eat it on the spot. Unfortunately I couldn't because it was growing in The King's Garden of Fort Ticonderoga. But I was free to snap a shot of it. It looked especially tempting surrounded by it's still green siblings.

Next week's color is yellow!

Faces, faces everywhere! Can you guess what this week's assignment over at Photobucket
was?
I'm usually all about faces, but this week Allen wasn't having much of it (again) and decided to sabotage every shot with movement. But thanks to the holy (or is it unholy?) powers of the all mighty photoshop, a few have been salvaged!

Tomorrow, or rather tonight, we're expecting about 6 inches of snow. I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get some really cute photos of him then (shutter speed should be able to keep up in daylight!).
I'll update if it's a success!
And here's one more from mommy's first attempt at muffins. 
 
I think he liked them =)

*** Update ***

Here's a favorite shot of mine from this afternoon (how I loooove bright light).

 
Snow is now requested to be part of the lunch menu. Thanks daddy!

has challenged us to use texture in our photos this week, either naturally or through photoshop. I tried to coerce Allen into sitting still for a few minutes in between layers of clothes and feathers and toys... but he wasn't having it. So I took my only way out, Photoshop! Hunting for new textures was fun, and I found several really good ones. I applied one of them to a  picture I took of Allen a few days ago (so it's not completely cheating) and played around with settings and filters. I have to say, I'm loving the result. I'm just starting out with textures but I think I'll be using them a lot more often now.
I'm just not sure if I should have left him more 'blended in'.  What do you think?
