2nd Annual World Wide Photo Walk : Philly

Saturday was Scott Kelby's 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. I sign up a few months ago and was really looking forward to the day. I was not disappointed. The weather was fabulous and I meet a bunch of really nice people who I walked around the city of Philadelphia with and took a ton of photo's.
There is a little contest and even though I am fairly positive I won't win I am still going to summit 2 photos. That is the limit. I took over 300 pictures and processed at least 60. The first one is a self portrait which I just had to take. The other 9 I am mulling over which to enter. I would love any opinions on that.

Me!


These are the concrete barrier around city hall.


This is a Service Flag in the window at the Union League.

Looking up, Love Park.


I had such a good time and will definitely do it again. I am also inspired to go and do a photo walk on my own. It was really a great time.

Cookies


Francesco of course picked the one with the M&M's on it.

These cookies were almost as big as Nicolo.

For those of you who know me I can not resist a messy face photo.

Notte di notte

The Loves of My Life!

Even if they still don't sleep through the night, how could you not just love them?

Wordless Wednesday

I took the boys to the shore over the weekend. Francesco loved the rides, I can't wait to take him back.

Best Shot Monday: new buddies

The boys Aunt, and the women who introduced me to Michael, was in town with her fiance this weekend. It was the first time the boys meet their soon to be Uncle. Nicolo took to him like a fish to water, he let Dan hold him even with me in the room. He is normally such a momma's boy, but he really took to his new Uncle. It was a great visit for all.



Head on over to Tracey's for more Best Shot Monday's.

So you think you can dance...

I know I haven't been around much. My kids have been sick, one after the other; work is super busy, and a lot little stressful and I have been completely uninspired lately to take a picture of anything. With the blues always come a ray of sunshine and at this time it's Francesco.

After they take their baths he likes to dance in his room. He has a CD player that we play soft music on for him at his bedtime, but to dance he like the radio hip-hop music. He makes Michael and I sit across the room to watch. I happen to have the little camcorder the other day and was practically peeing my pants while filming this.

How can this not lift your spirits?



I hope that as all are now well and now everyone is back to sleeping in their own room by themselves I will have a little more time. With the Holiday weekend and family in from out of town I have the battery on the camera changed and all my lens cleaned. Let pray fora little bit of good weather and a lot of inspiration.
