Conference Weekend Wood Haul

The first weekend of October has leaves changing, and the weather cooling.  It is also when General Conference is broadcast.  Growing up I have many memories of going wood hauling and listening to Conference over the radio when the chain saws were not running.  We decided to head up with the Shupes and get a few truck loads of wood.  We all had a good time, and are all sore this morning.  Guess that means we need  to be doing it more. 🙂

Favorite Filtered Fotos

We don’t pack our DSLR around near as much as we did before we both had iPhones.  I really enjoy using Camera+ to color correct and filter the pictures we do take on our phones, and also use the Camera Connector to edit our DLSR photos from the iPad when we are travelling. Here are some of our favorite pictures that have been filtered with Camera+ (which is currently $.99 at the App Store, and just got iPad support to utilize the screen size of the tablet. They are separate apps, but worth paying twice!)
