Just Us and Our Shadows...

This post over at Candid Reflections cracked me up, put a smile on my face, and inspired these muscle-boy shadow pictures at the beach this weekend.

Two of the reasons I married the Big Dude 15 years ago:
he made me laugh and he had a great sense of adventure.
Now, not only does he make me laugh, but he makes the boys laugh, too.
And he still has a great sense of adventure. :-)

    Let me count the ways I envy your photography talent. Your eye for photos. You rock! Those pictures are so much fun.

    And, I'll never forget falling for your husband's remark about those darn fields...

    I like that you got up high for that first picture, it made it much more dynamic. My husband made me laugh too, its a good quality with someone you'll be spending the rest of your life with!

    BEAUTIFUL! I've been a blog reader for awhile now....and I downloaded the "free" version of Foto Fusion. Is this what you're using to create your layouts? I noticed the "free version" watermark is gone....did you purchase the software? Recommendations?

    Thank you! It was a great afternoon at the beach, and the tide was so cooperative in smoothing out the sand for us ;-)

    Rhea - hehe. Stick Farm was clever, indeed...

    Kirsten - yes, I bought the middle version of the software. I played with the demo version for a couple months first to make sure it was something I'd actually use. I do use and love it :-)

    Fx - glad to be of service :-). Have a great day!
