Sunday, and we had to places to go, things to do. After taking care of the Bouncing Blessings baby ministry in NMEC (care of Shanda mostly), we had lunch with the Ong's and the Yoyo. We then had to rush over to the Grand Barnyard over at Tiendesitas getting lost and stressed along the way. Afterward we had to say an early-ish goodbye to high school and college friends to go to Marikina for an event.
We were blessed to be with so many wonderful people during our hectic Sunday and we ended up the night at Glass Garden in Marikina where this pic was taken.
I picked this shot because although it looks a processed a lot, it wasn't. Just a bit. :) Vignette, sharpness and some sweet nothing.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
