This week on the Wednesday Wonderful… I have a lot of feelings about my picks this week.

Disabled Vet Transforms Himself Through Yoga (via BoingBoing)

I don’t even have words to describe how this made me feel. It’s truly amazing to see the change that he’d made in his life thanks to yoga and the instructor who took on the challenge.

White Chocolate Lemon Truffles (via Pinterest)

No Bake Lemon Truffles from Kitchen Simplicity

These look so yummy and refreshing, I think I might have to make them this weekend.

Etsy Find of the Week: SimplyHue

I couldn’t just pick one of her wonderfully vintage portraits. From children’s rooms to bathrooms to mellow spaces, I could see her prints in so many places in my ideal home. Listings (from left to right): Seaside Collection 2, Dream Big, Once Upon a Time)

Photo of the Day: Egg Yolk Jellyfish

Monterey Bay Aquarium

I finally went through all my California pics from a few years ago, touched them up, played with some of them a little, and uploaded them to Flickr. You can view the whole set there. This picture of an Egg Yolk Jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium came out really neat when I was editing it in Snapseed. All the bokeh-type effects are from the natural particles in the water that didn’t come out until the exposure was played with a little. Compare to the slightly color corrected, but not crazy edited original version:

I’m a fan of post-editing for artistic purposes, but I know a lot of photographers who are set against it. Where do you fall on this debate?

My husband is out in California today, so I’m in a Cali picture mood. I played around with this one in Snapseed and ended up making it really moody. Is the Roosevelt haunted? Sure looks like it.
