He looks so young. Does the portrait hanging in your home? It's lovely, very soft and his face is pleasant.

Yes, it hangs in my home. Portraits of him, his sister, and his mother were all painted at the same time, and hung in his parents' home a long time ago. I'd lost track of them, and hadn't thought about his in years when my son found it in the barn! He hung it in my house without telling me that he'd found it. I came home that day and was doing something near the painting when it caught my eye. To say I was startled was an understatement! LOL

this beetle bug is sitting there for years and years already. I have pictures of us cyclists by it someplace... this time, I set my camera on the ground, after setting the timer, and we "posed". Sure is fun to take a picture with this BIG bug. :)

I didn't take this picture, but just thought that it was so cute.

A friend of mine is a pet photographer and this is a recent picture.

This was a photo I took last year in St Petersburg . This glow over the lake lasted for about an hour. We thought it rather interesting.
