The Nephews...

Yesterday I spent a delightful morning and afternoon with my beautiful sister-in-law and my nephews, Kyle and Warren. I love them more than life itself, and I always am so happy to spend a few hours playing with them. I brought my camera and tried to capture some good moments, but they were few and far between. Warren never stops moving, and at a place like the Children's Museum, why should he? We had a delightful lunch at Hermann Park near the Houston Garden Club, and I went home with my heart bursting for these 2 little boys. What joy they bring! If only I could get them to sit still...

Springtime on my Patio

Each year, I plant bulbs in the container garden I have on my patio.

This year, I planted different kinds of daffodils and some tulips. They make me completely content.


First Subject: Pokey

Of course, I had to try out my new camera (Canon Digital Rebel XS) on my trusty companion, Pokey. He smiled dutifully as I snapped...

New Hobby

I thought I'd secure a space in the cyberworld for my new hobby... photography. I will be filling it with pictures and photos that I take with my new camera as I hone my skills over time!
