There is nothing quite like a birthday party with the Grandchildren. It was amazing, and they all said I got the best present ever!!! Hmmm........ can you guess what it was??
If a picture paints a thousand words
This blog is a place for me to work on my photography. My goal is to submit a new picture every day and to get better as the moments go by. I take all pictures with my digital camera. I worked for years with a 35 mm minolta, and this is a learning experience for me. I am afraid that I got lazy and allowed the camera to choose most of the settings for me. This is my journey of learning how to shoot a camera that is not in a program mode. It is harder than I ever imagined. That makes this challenge both a new experience and a joy for me.

Grammy has the best Birthdays! Day 309
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it. ~Mark Twain
Lou and Moose - Day 308
I gotta love when family comes to visit. This big crazy dog is actually one that we enjoy (except for the buckets of slobber!) He does kind of grow on you after awhile, and he is good and has a pretty amazing personality too!
"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies."

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ~Author Unknown
Macro Friday - Wild Flower - Day 307
This is my Macro Shot for Blogging From Bolivia for Macro Friday. I was visiting with family all weekend and did not have a chance to post. I love these flowers. They are weeds, they grow everywhere, and they have some evil stickers on them. But, I did love the way it looked through a macro lens!
What is a weed? I have heard it said that there are sixty definitions. For me, a weed is a plant out of place. ~Donald Culross Peattie
Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them. ~A.A. Milne
Follow The Trail - Day 306
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of
children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false
friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know
even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
—RALPH WALDO EMERSON, American essayist, 1803–82

Summer Music - Anya - Day 304
Music] takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Without music, life is a journey through a desert." -- Pat Conroy
After silence,
that which comes nearest
to expressing the inexpressible
is music.
Aldous Huxley
