Sternly

This little guy doesn't believe for one single minute that grandpa is mad.

I took my first formal photography class in college.  This image was part of my third class project, 1989.

My prof wanted me to "activate all edges of the frame", so I experimented with several different shots.  There were no digital cameras back then, and I didn't even have a flash for my (first) SLR camera, but it worked out well for grandpa's shaking finger of mock disapproval.

Bee

This morning I let the dog out and happened to look over where the happy baby butternut squash plants were.  The morning sun was shining brightly on a whole bevy of beautiful, fuzzy squash flowers.

Deciding not to let opportunity pass me by, I headed out to take several pictures with my phone.  As an added bonus, a busy little bee was happily pollinating one of the flowers.  There's pollen all over his little leg.  

Distractedly

My husband took a photography class in high school.  I don't know if his mom was aware she was being photographed at the time or not.  Circa late 1980s.

Tropically

A neighbor's hibiscus looks like the tropical variety.  It definitely looks like it's been enjoying the tropical weather we've been having.

When I eventually get my flower beds going, I want to get some of the perennial kind again.
