THE LIFE

Posted by Dawn Sutherland (Phoenix, United States) on 11 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

My family and I took a mini vacation over the past few days. It has been years since we have taken a vacation so it was good to get out and play. We went to California so over the next few days I will be showing some of my favorites. Sorry I haven't been able to respond to any comments or post comments on anyone's blog. Hope everyone is doing well!

badala from Leiria, Portugal

B/W or sepia?
I like this calmness.

11 Jul 2007 4:37pm

@badala: Sepia, I love it although not many people use it. B&W is too harsh for me sometimes.
