What's not to love, but I especially love the treatment you gave the old Church. And the vivid summer colors are so wonderful after a long, long winter, aren't they?

I love your processing of the 2 top photos! Such cool architecture, enhanced by your treatment of it. Really makes the detail and lines stand out.

Those videos are priceless Leah!

LOVE the one of our hotel, wow...didn't even think to take a pic of that. I'm going to email you the starbucks pic tomorrow, let me know if you get it. Your charger should arrive soon too.

That splash park looks like such fun for a kid (and for mom/dad too;))

That is one awesome sprinkler park... my kids would love that, even now all being teenagers or tweens.
Gracen is too cute at gymnastics, I remember when Lil was at that stage it was so fun to watch. :)
