looking up into the branches

I spent three weekends in April (and four days in a row between 4/28 and 5/1) at curriculum training sessions. Here's our ever-patient Holt trainer, Amber.

And then, totally burned out when I got home from training on Saturday, I did amateurish hack jobs with photoshop instead of anything worthwhile. I thought Leyla would be happier at Lake Tahoe.
