Dirt and Photos

We're trying to catch up from six days of camping and there is a LOT of dirt to contend with.  The piles of laundry on my patio look like this

It won't get finished tonight, but it can't come inside.  We had a seriously wonderful trip but I've had enough dirt to last me a while.

When I am not doing laundry this weekend we will be celebrating my E's birthday and editing photos.  There are tons of them and I am dying to get them all squared away to share.

The highlight of my day, I think, was editing this photo in Picasa. 

I am experimenting with the retouch option.  It's not that I don't think that man is perfectly fine, but he's got nothing to do with my sweet family.  Be gone with you sir.

That cracks me up and makes me want to go back to a million old photos and retouch them.  I'd like to think that if you hadn't seen the first photo you wouldn't think the retouched image looked like there was a ghost sitting behind the Princess.

I am also hoping I can find a way around the bonehead move of taking EVERY photograph in low resolution.  On accident.  Definitely not my favorite thing about today.

Laundry awaits . . . more to come.
