Before and After PhotoShop

When Bailey sent me this pic of Emery examining the 'teeth' of this plastic lizard, I decided I hadn't played in PhotoShop for a quite some time....the background pics are from McBryde garden--one of the luscious yellow flowering trees that we'd parked under and the weird Dr. Suess-like tree with tiny pink poofs that hung suspended from yard-long streamers.

The lady bug represents Emery's 3rd Birthday cake of choice...I call this pic "The Aphid Eater"....because he knows what all of  his plastic insects eat (as seen on Sandy's video!)...and serves them breakfast. And if there are any doubts at all, he demands entomology information from Google!
(Been racking my brain to recall that cement--it's the Mall w/ Salt Pond Gelato, right?!)
