Of being my photo prop?  I dread the day.

I also need to start a photo blog, I think.

I was trying out a couple of backdrops today.  I tried a black one and a tan one. Two were sheets and one was a curtain panel.  I think I like the panel best, but it isn’t as long as the sheet. So, I need to try out a few more shots to decide for sure.

Then again maybe I should just get the paper backdrops.  I am just not sure if I want to use lighting.  I mean, I have it, but I much prefer natural light.  But, there are people who want plain backdrops in their photos, so I wanted to try some out.

These are SOOC (straight out of the camera) shots just playing around with J.  Love that kid, just love him to death.

What a week.  The weather turned from gorgeous to cool and rainy, but I am not really complaining because the grass is so green and we really, really needed the rain.  The buds on the trees are bursting waiting to open up with my most favourite green.  I can’t wait.

This week, I tried to get back on track.  I did three 3km power walks after dropping J at school and one strength workout.  I really need to get my strength training back up as it is the muscles I need to build.   I am pleased with this this week as Apple and I were suffering with terrible colds.  Now that I am almost 100% and Apple will be there soon, I am going to get back to a new workout I had started a couple of weeks ago, but got siderailed.

In honour of my continuous efforts to workout, I want to share with you one of my favorite pieces of workout gear.  Resistance bands.

 If you don’t have a gym membership or a set of weights, resistance bands can really pump up your workout.  They can also be used in addition to weights to offer added benefits.  I love my resistant bands.  Which, were given to me by my personal trainer.

I would like to give away a set of resistance bands (may not be exactly as shown in the photo above) to one of my readers.  To enter, simply leave a comment and let me know how bands would help you with your workouts.  I will randomly pick a winner on Friday morning (April 24th).
