The Bahamas

The last week in March Stan, Maria, Sierra and Callie joined us for a week on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.  The first couple of times we had been to the Bahamas we were not impressed but this time it was a different story.  The water is crystal clear and such beautiful shades of blue; the weather was perfect; the native dancers and musicians in their costumes were exciting; Atlantis is a waterworld but also a tropical paradise complete with the creation of an underworld city of Atlantis.  Best of all though was the opportunity to spend time with part of our family.  Fred and I often remarked that it would be wonderful to have all of our family there.

Photos of the Month for April

People was the theme for my photo club this month. I took this picture of a stage coach driver in Tombstone. I cropped most of the stage coach out and then added first a white vignette but I like the second one better with the dark blue vignette. The vignette really emphasis the man.

This is by far my favorite.  Who can't select sweet Sarah over a rough old cowboy!  Christian helped me change the background to the solid mauve color.  She is so photogenic--it makes it easy to take a beautiful photo of her.  The photo above is the original picture and the one below is the finished one.
