Dancin' before the storm

I took the opportunity to try a couple new things with my camera tonight. Mira and Amelia were running around outside before the storm came. Without my flash on, the shutter stayed open longer to let in more light, creating a blurry effect. They look like little fairies, dancing before the storm.
For this one, I pulled back on the color a little, but let their clothes be at full brightness.

its so fun to play with the camera- usually there are community ed classes on cameras if you are interested in learning more.

Oh Martha,I don't think that is Kelly dancing with Mira uhless she has shrunk. I've called Jenifer Sarah many times. The dancing before the storm is cute. Mom used to let us play in the rain. We loved it. Love, Margene

Margene, I think Mom means Kelly (Mira's friend) who is in the post below. She was just commenting on both posts at once. BUT, she does get the grandkids names wrong. She's taking after Grandma who runs through the names of all 12 girl grandkids before she gets to the correct one! Although, Mom only has 5 girls' names to run through!

I'm catching up on your blog today and love the pictures before the storm. They do look like fairies dancing.Pretty colors.
I get kids names mixed up too. When Martha and Dawn are together in the same room I am always calling Dawn "MAR-DAWN"...never fails!
It's a great neighborhood you live in. It makes you feel safe, doesn't it?
Your kids are always having a fun time and it makes good memories for all time>>>>>Love, Bonnie
