Lately, I am constantly bringing the camera along to my kid's friends' birthday parties. It gives me plenty of opportunity to practice. Last week was Anna's friend's party at a local toddler play place. I love the place - except! - when I have to take pictures there. Very challenging! The walls are this terrible shade of green that casts a horrible color over everything, the lights are florescent and then there is this huge picture window throwing another color of light into the room. Very frustrating for a newbie like me.

Erica, I hope you like these and thanks for inviting Anna.
