Photo Art Friday - Water!

Yipeee!  Do you know what today is?  It's Photo Art Friday

Since PDPA Photo Art Friday moved to the first Friday of the month, I've only participated once.  This is mostly because I seem to loose track of the days with an amazing amount of ease.  Example: Recently someone asked me how my summer went...to which I replied, "I don't know I'll tell you at the end of August"

So...this week's Challenge?   Water.

For my niece's second birthday (beginning of August - which I did remember) my mother (her grandmother) decided to buy her a water table.  So I figure for this challenge we'll lean toward the literal sense of the word water. 

[Note: Had "Toes" not been featured for a recent WW I probably would have used that picture instead]

For this challenge I used:
  • Pdpa Turquoise Splash Texture
  • a picture of my niece


  • pdpa Water Challenge How To

    Photo Art FridayOverall I'm not too sure what I think.  More often than not, I prefer to be more subtle with the textures.  That being said...it could have turned out worse. 

    Feel free to offer your ideas, tips, and suggestions.

    Explorations of a Toddler

    Watching the reactions of children can be great fun. 

    For example, I love how this look...
    Grandma's Backyard 1

    after a few moments of hesitant exploration and a bit of encouragement from Mommy...

    Grandma's Backyard 2

    Can turn into this...
    Grandma's Backyard 4
     
     
    Let's face it...when you're a toddler every step can lead to a new discovery!


    Today's lesson: Pay attention to where you are standing and how it lines up those you are taking pictures of...otherwise you can end up with a toddler where Mommy's leg should be.  ;)

    Grandma's House

    Spent the better half of last week hanging out with family.  Found out one of the coolest things about being an aunt is rediscovering home and what it means to be at Grandma's house:

    Just one lesson today: Remove store tags before you let toddlers play.  ;)
