Over the years, working with one client has given me several fringe benefits. The first came when I shared the opportunity to photograph the cats. Today, as I pulled into the drive, I saw that the mom had gone into full gardening mode and had plants sitting in their pots ready to be planted. This mom goes all out in everything she does! You should see her place at Christmas. Nothing goes undecorated, not even her animals. So I was excited to see she was going to garden again.

So, I decided to get a jump start and took a few shots. Can't wait to see the garden in full bloom!

This is a relatively new subject for me, so you flower perfectionists, I ask that you remember when you first started

I hope you enjoy my attempts!

I am trying to explore my options for flowers, so I tried Home Depot. It was a very sunny day with some wind. I went inside, and it was slightly better, but sometimes they were crammed together!

I wasn't satisfied with the last flower post, so I thought I would try again! I went to two other places, so all I can do is keep practicing!

I hope you enjoy this journey and process! Still, see soft focus sometimes!

Being a work in progress isn't always fun!

Feedback is welcomed!

Read this whole article about Vincent Dransfield who lives in Little Falls, New Jersey. What a story. To look at him and listen to what his life is like at 110 years. I wanted to post this last night, but I just could not decided what to post it with the correct words. If you read this man's post you will understand. I wish I could meet this Gentleman one time and listen and talk to him for just one day.

It’s not just Jews who have to worry about attacks. The headlines have been full of reports of individuals committing acts of violence against blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and many times just people in general. A common theme is the person committing these acts have been bullied or have very low self esteem. Most know they will probably die when law enforcement arrives but they know the media will make every effort to identify them and research their entire life. Thus they become, in a sick way, famous and no longer the losers they were before. I attend a very small Methodist church in a rural area. I am licensed for concealed carry and have been bringing a firearm to our services just in case. These are sad times.
