black and white, mr ducks

Ah, today was beautiful! The sun shone brightly and a hike through the park was on the agenda. The other two boys had birthday parties and playdates, so it was mommy and littles who ventured to Mission Creek to soak up those rays.

And we found ducks! Frolicking on a frozen creek, fourty or so ducks. They amused us; their tails wagging, bottoms wiggling and their voices, silly quackers.

I am enjoying my new toy and took these pictures with the IPhone, tweaked the contrast and saturation on the one and turned the obvious three into black and white images.

My daily fun factor has increased. ( I did not know that was possible)

Memory Manager Magic, and my I Phone.

Another week that seemed to wizzz by and it left me with a Sunday Blog POST and a new toy that take pictures!

I decided that it was time, for various reasons,  that I took the plunge and purchased an IPhone 4. It is SO lovely. So absolutely lovely.

AND...when I connect it to my computer and click on Memory Manager, MM treats it like a CAMERA. One click to bring in all of my favourite phone pictures. SWEET.

Like peanut butter and chocolate.

NOW all we need is a Memory Manager for MACs and it would be like wine and chocolate.

SIGH. SOON?

All I did in MM was reduce the saturation and increase the contrast.
Like PB and Chocolate.

Keep moving and keep taking pictures...

It is the scientist in me, I LOVE to experiment. So..panning, not for gold, but moving my camera with the subject. In these cases the subjects are my three sons.

James is Jumping for Joy!

Jack is hanging on...

This is just pure FUN! And CRAZY.

So is this!













A little organizing tidbit. I make sure I name the photos well. In Memory Manager I attach a story to the photos*, this way when it comes to finding them it is done with a click rather than a click scroll and search through the thousands of photos I have.

PURE Photo finding FREEDOM.
