filter friday (finally)

I'm not sure about you, but I have started to become a bit jealous of the instagram photos popping up on Facebook and on blogs.  So today I did a little searching and found this site which allows anyone to add instagram style effects to any picture on their pc.

It's free, you don't have to download anything, and you can save your filtered, framed, fantastic pics right back to your hard drive.  I love it. 

This afternoon, I enjoyed our near eighty degree temps with a run.  I generally don't run with my camera but it has been so amazingly beautiful outside that today I brought it along.  I'm glad I did.

Here are a few pics I snapped on my run.  Each has had different filters, effects, and frames applied.  I can already tell that filter Fridays are going to be fun.   

My favorite geese at the duck pond.  The big male on the right has the loudest goose honk you've ever heard and he's not at all shy. 

One of my favorite running trails.

Budding branches.  A sign that Spring is just around the corner. 

These leaves really were this bright.  Still holding on for dear life amidst a sea of bare branches. 

Let the sun shine!
