Ghostly Baby Toes 
  Originally uploaded by Mac and Mel Wisler.

Those who look at our Flickr account won’t be surprised when I say that when I want to practice shooting, I use my children as my subjects. Something was up with my camera, and I was shooting pictures that mostly look like this when I was trying James. This is exactly how the picture came off of the card. I just used Photoshop to save it from RAW to a jpg. I wasn’t going to post any, but they were so ghostly, I decided to go ahead and upload them. I ended up going into my camera menu and resetting everything to default values. The shot of Ada came out much better because of it. No idea what had been set to what.

People will give me eyes for this, but I love this time of year. I love it because of night. I love it being in the mid to upper 80s at night. It feels great! My mother and I headed out last night in the convertible because we needed to mail something too big for our neighborhood mail drop*. We took down the top, and took a leisurely drive home. It just felt wonderful. I also love sitting outside at night during this weather, and kids and work doesn’t afford me much time to do that anymore. Maybe tomorrow night I need to head outside with Ada and we can hang on the deck and enjoy this weather.

Our convertible ride last night was the last for us for awhile because we sold it–to my brother. We are now down to only three vehicles at our house instead of five. He came today and drove it away. He does come to visit though, so we’ll see it again.

*We have the big locked cluster boxes. No mailman comes to our door, we have to walk out to the cluster. And the slot for mail only fits standard letters sizes. It doesn’t fit singing birthday cards.
