Lightroom Editing

I am absolutely loving the Lightroom editing class I'm taking from Nancy
I am learning so much and the editing I can do now makes such a difference. 
Just wanted to post a couple examples of photos I have been working on!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

A few weeks back we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium. 
Lots of jellyfish, colorful fish, starfish, and even a hammer head shark!
It was really cool to see all the different types of jelly fish. Everything was so colorful. 


We got to see the penguins being fed. 










Gazing into the fish tanks

Schools of fish. I loved to watch the way they all moved together. 

A seahorse that looked just like a plant. 

I love the shadows the jellyfish created on the wall. 

Little seahorses

There was even a room where you could watch a wave splash over you. 

The aquarium had lots of hands on exhibits and the girls had a blast touching starfish and other sea creatures. 
(All the pictures above were taken with my iphone. All the photos below were taken with my nikon) 







Thanks girls for the awesome day at the aquarium!

Ruby can Jump

The other night Hubby and I were getting into the car to go to the gym and we heard a lot noise coming from the side yard. Ruby evidently thought we were going somewhere special without her because she decided to jump the fence. It is a pretty tall fence, probably 7 foot. 

I don't think she will be jumping the fence again anytime soon. 
Poor Ruby got all scratched up. It looks a lot worse in person. Her little tummy was all swollen and scraped up. She was pretty sore for a couple days but now she is running around like nothing ever happened.
