hot cross buns
one of those all american moments in a child's elementary years is the recorder. torrey's hit the age where she gets to learn, practice and play recorder at school. she is now very fluent in *one* song... hot cross buns. i'm not exactly sure how many times we've heard this song in the last 2 weeks, i'll just say many, many times. but she's really getting a kick out of it, so maybe i'll dust off my old flute sometime and teach her how to play hot cross buns on that... :)
these pics were the runners up for pic of the day today. i took a walk around our yard this afternoon since it was such a nice day. (in washington a nice day is defined as one where you can see that the sky is some other color than white or gray.)something fun to try: have you ever played with the vivid or saturated setting on your camera? a lot of digital cameras have added a setting similar to this in the past few years. on my camera is under menu > camera > set picture control > vivid. it's a fun setting to try out to up the saturation on your pics and really *pop* the colors. :)
