^Very pretty, Deb. I realize how much I took year round flowers and green plants for granted in CA now that I've lived in CO.

I realize these are very grainy but I love the joy on their faces. My sister adopted two Ukrainian siblings about 10 years ago. Her son, in the photo, is getting married to the lovely young lady in these photos, at the end of May. I took these at second wedding shower, a coed one, that my sister held. They are so in love and such a joy to watch. My sister's older daughter isn't going about life the same way, being that she's pregnant by a guy with no car who she met about two months ago.










I love these LovePop pop up cards. There was a pull out that I wrote a lot more on.

Good for them! Nice to see them happy. Sad that his sister has had issues. Hasn't she had various issues for a while?

Yes, she always has had issues. So has Vlad but he's really done well. It's just hard for kids who spend so much of their life in an orphanage to change what they feel as normal. It seems that all the girls have gone down a similar path. Normal to them is not what normal is to a daughter brought up in a loving family. My brother in law is in an organization, Last Bell Ministries, that is trying to help the girls change before it gets too late. It's a cycle.

Photography is just my hobby. I've made progress with my hobby, but I know I will never get rich. There are many things I have yet to learn as well. However, capturing a moment and sharing that moment makes my hobby most enjoyable. I grabbed this shot with my zoom lens on Sunday. I shared on FB and the Dad/Mom found me today. I will have a copy or two printed for them. I call it "Daddy's Girl."

Hobby or not, that's one of the very best you've done.

Nice Lainey, I like photos showing human interest.

Honda makes a great mulching mower, Patty. Plus you can lower it easily for that "look" and increased handling.
