Love these pictures!! I'm a big fan of turtles and gulls both. Have you ever seen a more innocent looking baby? LOL My cousin John with his sister Barbara (on the right) and me. John is now a grandfather of two. His daughter looks like a movie star and has her Ph.D. in one of the sciences. When I look at these old pictures I think, we had no idea what was in store for us.......

Just had to comment on your photo Karen, it is wonderful. What camera and lens did you use? Also Sandy I have a real pair of dutch shoes I got many many years ago. They are surprisingly comfy but not as pretty as the ones you posted. I really should paint mine!

Went to a craft barn the other weekend and got to see many beautiful kneedle art/crafts. They also showed how it all starts out with the sheep shearing! Couldn't believe how docile this 1st yr sheep was. What a temperature shock this must have been...it was a cold damp day!

I'm having a small photography show next month, and decided to include a few manipulated photos. I'll be interested to see how they look blown up to 16x20. Here's a Topaz version of a hydrangea. Waddya think?
