Into each life, rain must fall...

...so we teach our children to celebrate and revel in the opportunity! Couldn't resist, once, I saw these the quote jumped into my head. We fortunately only had a downpour as the tail of hurricane Hannah passed us by. The kids had so much fun jumping in the puddles and running around.
I had to play with some of the new BnW techniques that were posted in my challenge on 2Ps. I'm likng this one a lot. I converted them in channel mixer, then did a slight cureves adjustemnt. I'm really digging black and white at the moment. Don't be surprised if a few color shots show up tomorrow, though- the rain makes all the green so vibrant, it's hard to pass up.

First day of second grade


She was thrilled with herself- a big kid off to her big kid school- grades 2-5. Ever the princess, my oldest. She is just getting so big so fast. Sometimes I'd like to freeze a few days. Wednesday morning was one of those times, for sure!
