summer swim fun

Summer swimming fun with toddlers in your own backyard photo

Watching Birdie play in her silly little pool is one of my favorite simple summer pleasures. And capturing a splash like this one, with that sunlight, on my silly little iPhone makes it about ten times better. We made boats using some Hosta leaves, and people out of twigs, and spent lots of time … er … drowning them. Unintentionally, of course. But oh what a glorious day!

I would like to thank the following iPhone Photo apps for helping to make this moment possible (sniff, sniff):

  • PhotoToaster for iPhone and iPad – This app combines the best quick filters (a la instagram or other vintage mimics) but with more variety, and the ability to then tweak all the presets any which way you want. I’m loving it.
  • PhotoSync for iPhone, iPad, and Macs – I love this thing. It wirelessly sends your photos! No wires, no iphoto, nada. Right now I’m using it from my iPhone to my Mac, but it should also work with our iPad + iPhone, Mac + iPad, etc. etc. etc. As long as they’re all in the same network you’re golden.
  • Instagram – This one’s super popular (as mentioned above, ha!) but it really is a beautiful and quick way to share random moments of your day with your friends and followers. Take a photo, add your filter, your comments, and post via all your social media. Are you on instagram already? Follow me – search for “Smallforbig” (I’m Mari, hiya!)

Thanks Sam! It really was one of those memories I hope to keep with me for a long time. (and thanks to those iPhone apps, I hope I will!)
