Photo A Day - May 1

I've decided to participate in Photo A Day for this month.  I needed some new inspiration and subject matter, so this will help.  Of course I anticipate most of my photos to be my girls still.

Today's photo is Peace.

What's more peaceful than a sleeping baby?

Vacation Photos...

Just returned from a long overdo vacation.  Not only was it great fun and relaxing, but it was a chance for me to practice many of the photography techniques I read about and wanted to try or have been working on.  I took probably close to 1,000 photos, uploaded 200 to my flickr page, and have about 30-40 I want to share.  So I'll do this in phases and in no particular order.
