    Now that is what I call smelling the flowers.Beutiful shot of the rose.

    My husband uses 2 dif Cannon Cameras one has wideangle lens for landscape and the othera huge telephoto lens for close up bird shots.He lugs all these around  when we travel.They are so heavy can't be good for his back.

    I am FROM British Columbia! Woo hoo for me!

    That lake one looks pretty much like where I live now in Barrie, Ontario.

    Canada IS a beautiful place you know! Wink

    That Georgia pic though...I could smell the damp and hear the sounds of the bugs! Surprised

    I think I've mentioned before, we had a 40' boat we called 'Haven On Earth'. In our marina we were farther apart than in that picture. My God! You'd hear the guy beside you snoring and farting if you were docked that close!

    Lisa -- I'll happily share energy.... I had a little great granny @ one of my events who came up after & said, "Honey, you plays hard & then you must sleeps hard."



    I'll never forget that sentiment.



    Happy escaping -- will watch over your shoulders, as long as my battery holds out.



    LOL

    The other night the talent show started with the presentation of the flag and then the whole audience put their hand over their heart and together said the Pledge of Alligence.



    I cried.

    Last night, my husband and I were sitting in the living room and I said to him, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever
    happens, just pull the plug.'

    He got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
    He's such an ass . . .  

    (someone emailed me this! ehehehhehehe)

    SoCalLisa and mumayan- I absolutely love your pictures! My son does photography also and I really enjoy watching him learn and make progress. Yesterday he was spraying water on my roses to practice with a new filter he bought!  And this is the one that wouldn't ever take a camera along on high school field trips!

    I'm in the central valley, so not too far from San Diego! Whew! Our outside temperature is showing 107.1 today!!!! Nice to be inside and relaxing after church! At least we don't have the mid-west humidity!
