You guys are wonderful! I talked to Gaile last night. She took Shelby to the opthalmologist again the other day. Thankfully, she is fine! No sign of any problem. The doctor doesn't feel she needs to be seen again for this potential problem, but Gaile said she will continue to take pictures of Shelby to see if the "glare" shows up again. The doctor Shelby has been seeing is well versed in this rare eye cancer, so we feel pretty confident she knows what she's doing. None of the more recent pictures of Shelby...and we've taken a lot of them...have shown the same reflection the Christmas Eve photos showed. Gaile is into photography and will be taking many pictures to see if it shows again. She is still nervous about this and will follow through on it. After a little while, I will mention she might take Shelby to yet another doctor...to be sure...just incase she isn't already planning to. I can't help but wonder...like a couple of you have mentioned...with all of the prayers going out for Shelby right away...could she have been healed before she even saw the doctor? Only God knows! The whole thing is very puzzling...no one but Shelby had that glare in their eyes, and there were a lot of other people in the pictures that night. Thank you all for the prayers. I'll never forget you for them! I love you all! ~Sandy~

Bustopher, I am so glad to see your Belle sans Flatterie - mine is so young but (I'm repeating myself) hope to see blooms this coming spring. Just beautiful. Do you have many gallicas? I have a large handful of them and the smattering of blooms I got last year makes me anxious to see what they do this year. I love the moon picture! Thanks for posting the pictures, everyone. The Blanche Neige looks like pearls.

That is so cute. Grandma's little helper?

Just from my own real life experience as the mother two toddlers, I can tell you I own over $3000 worth of DSLR body and lenses. My best shots of my kids actually come from my Nikon Coolpix S8100 (under $200). I'll give you the lag time is more than my fancy DLSR. And yes, when I have time to pull the DLSR out I can get a much better photograph, but I can stick my Coolpix in any bag I am taking anywhere and it is always with me. So I get all the candids. My DLSR is bulky (and my kids come with enough baggage already. I love my DSLR, don't get me wrong, I have it for many other reasons, but if she is looking for great shots of her child, a fairly easy point and shoot is way more practical. Kalindi
