Hawaii Hello

OMG! As I type this (and schedule it to publish on Sunday), my heart starts to race with excitement--By the time this posts, I will be in San Francisco, home of the one-and-only Unknown Mami, who hosts this weekly photo-theme, Sundays in My City! I'm not meeting UM until next week, though, so you'll have to stay tuned for that shot :) 

[Please note that our house is not empty. Plus, there's nothing valuable in it, unless you count Mr.4444 (hm), 

so don't even think of trying to rob us (and leave my husband alone, too, 

if you know what's good for you, and watch out for our vicious golden retriever, too)!]

On to this week's pics!

Kendall is still in Hawaii. 

She's been checking in with us now and then via text and sharing her photos via Photobucket. 

And this one's a favorites, of course.

The next one is a lesson for all of us about horizon lines. 

When taking a photo of a landscape (or waterscape), pay attention; try to keep it straight. 

Otherwise, the crooked horizon distracts from the subject of your photo.

Hooray! Picnik to the rescue! Use the "Rotate" button to fix it!

I love Picnik,

and I adore that shot of Kendall and her sister/friend.

What a lucky kid.
