Memorial Day . . .

'Hello Darkness' Iris

As summer starts we have decided to get out as much as possible on the weekends. Memorial Day was our start in an attempt to break our rut of staying home due to the rain and ventured off into the country side to visit a local iris farm. A field of irises is beautiful but this farm knows that to really show case their flowers why not plant a flower garden that people can enjoy while shopping . . .

Flower gardens are prime opportunities for photography, and I brought my camera to remember the day and pass the time. The girls got in the spirit of the shoot and borrowed my camera half the time to snap their own pictures.

Peiwei wasn't feeling well and cried most of the time. The only time she wasn't crying was when she found a bare patch of ground and dug in with both hands. When feeling miserable what is better than shoving handfuls of dirt down your shirt to try and cheer yourself up.

After getting home later that afternoon I decided to give the girls their first Photoshop lesson, so that they could play with the pictures they had taken. Both took to the program and have been photoshopping ever since. They both are really good and will probably start posting their own works of art very soon.
