I have a new twist on the lemons phrase: When life gives you a great prop, take lots of photos. Please pardon two days in a row of the same balloons, but I could resist doing a photo shoot with a cuter model today (my little mini me, Clara Joy).
The balloons paired with her adorable red coat reminded me of the little girl in Schindler's List who had the only color in the movie (her coat). I considered trying selective coloring here and then though, "Nah, too much work."
Wishing you all a joy & laughter filled, wonderful weekend. Life is so beautiful and I feel very blessed to capture the little moments.
Wow, this is awesome Amanda. I love the way the railing arches behind that absolutely adorable sweetie pie! There are enough balloons to carry her away. Beautiful shot.
You need to do 97 more picks with the red balloons as a tribute to the song "99 Red Ballons" by Nena. Or 10 more or so if you count each balloon in each picture. :)
Hi Amanda. I'm your get-pushed partner for the week starting 2/18. You've got such a great variety of photos, so it is hard to come up with something for you. But here goes....PAPER....any interpretation you come up with! I'm looking forward to see what you come up with!
@sjoblues HA...it's right by me. I wasn't bothered by the sky actually, though a nice one wouldn't be bad. Thanks, lady. Sorry to have missed the show today. Was it today?
@cromwell Thanks, Crom...I will if I ever get around to making one:).
@sjoblues Shew...I am all screwed up with dates today. We went to my kids school festival only to find out it is next week. I so thought it was the 23rd! Good!
@kizzysmom Love the push. Great idea. And thanks:)!
@m9f9l Thanks, lady. It came out really blue toned and I warmed it up a bit. It was really gray out and starting to snow. Maybe my settings and then editing were off?
@masosy Thanks so much, Kate. Love your comments:)!
@yoda_a_day I so should. Great idea, Stephen. Though I may lose friends and followers due to boredom. Enough with the balloons already you crazy lady. I did feature it 4 times so that's 48, right. So close...;-). Thanks!
@automaticslim Thank you for remembering.:) I forget sometimes too. Yesterday it was like I was losing my mind. I thought that I got a message from my MIL to call her. I did so and she hadn't called me. I must have dreamed it or something. So strange...
Adorable! I hope you put lead weights in her pockets to keep her from floating awaaaaaaaay.
And you really didn't need selective color here, IMO. All the red pops so well against the dark background, it is almost SC on it's own.
@julz Thanks so much for your comments, Julz!! You are kind!
@alisonp Thank you, lady!!:)
@steffguayante Aw, thanks so much for your sweet comments, Steff!!
@soboy5 Thank you, Danny! Appreciate that!
@cdonohoue I need to. I'd needed a red photo of her as I have some of her brother and sister. Perfect!
@cromwell Thanks, Crom...I will if I ever get around to making one:).

@cmc1200 Great idea, lady. Thanks for that!
@pflaume You are sweet. I agree. It did turn out fine as is...and selective coloring for this would be a huge pain!!
@sticksandstones Thanks, Jenny, for the wonderful comments:)!
@barbsmith Aw, thanks so much, Barb. That was my desire. Glad that I succeeded.
