On our recent trip to Cape Cod I took it upon myself to find a short hike for the kids that was stroller-friendly, dog-friendly, and went through the upland woods to water...and darn if I didn't stumble upon one on a birding blog. We could have strolled Cape Cod's famous Rail Trail but then the dogs couldn't have had a swim and besides, we have Rail Trails all over the place at home.

As always when these kids are involved there are an intimidating number of photos, so just to jump-start myself, I picked two rather nondescript ones that I snapped and started there. Because one must start somewhere. This design uses the Tres Bon collection, which is on sale now in the aA shop. I blended the photos along the horizon lines and blended photo duplicates to make things more interesting, and used lots of transfers/overlays. I particularly like the stitched leaves that come with this collection.
