You Capture- Get Down Low

I got down low for this week's You Capture theme and took some pictures in my front yard.

You Capture- Fun

We took Remington to the park and let him have some Fun on the playground for the first time. He was cranky, so I don't know how much he really enjoyed it.

You Capture- Best Shot

This week's You Capture is the best shot we took all week, and this time it has to be just one picture. So here goes... After a week of shooting, this is my best shot:

Help Choose Photo Entries

Okay, I need your help. I want to enter my photography (taken since last September) in the state fair and hope for a ribbon or two. Tricky thing is it's hard to pick which photos I want. So tell me, which  are better. Or should I enter other (possibly ones you've seen here or on Facebook) pictures. Can't wait to hear the comments to help me decide.
Warning: Picture Overload :)

You Capture:Depth of Field

I love technical photo challenges, so I was up for this one from You Capture at I Should Be Folding Laundry.

This week is Depth of Field: "depth of field (DOF) is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions."

Here are some pictures of a toy train we picked up at a garage sale for Remington last weekend. 

 Here's another slight bit of DOF. This first one focused on Landon, the second one on Remington.  Mostly I just love these pictures!

And finally, some flower pictures.

Parade

I took Remington to his first parade yesterday. Our town has a day where all the schools in the country get off and are able to go to a carnival and parade. Remington did pretty well. He didn't cry at any sirens and was happy being held or sitting in his stroller.
