12 pictures












In my twelve pictures I was photographing sports.  I chose to do this because sports are my biggest community.  For these pictures I took them at Hoban and Coventry's track.  Photoshop has truly helped me enhance my photos.

I am so excited today is my birthday all my friends and I got to go to the pool.  Before we went to the pool we got to open presents I got so many good things!  After we opened the gifts it was about 3 p.m. so we all went swimming for the rest of the night.  The pool was really warm and everyone was laughing and having fun!  We started playing chicken in the pool but my mom told me to stop so no one would get hurt.
