I *love* the bold colors of the bus, the joyful flowers and the tiny pompoms. The hairstyle is looking cute, and so is Braden, always. Yay for bubbles with reflections, Lotus-style.

Oh, and I like your new haircut. (I am ooked out by the grasshopper. I had a cousin who used to catch them and rip their limbs off when I was younger. She would make me watch them limp around. I think I am still in need to therapy.)

You MUST (as in, if you don’t, I’ll kick your ass) tell me how you use your point-and-shoot to take those pics. I have a kick-ass p-&-s, but I can’t seem to get it to take pics as good as yours.
Maybe it’s just your Lotus touch. If so, can I get Lotus to touch me?
