I took this on a whim — my oldest daughter running down a dusty country road this past summer.
This is one of the first photos that I actually printed, framed AND put up on my wall.

Styling together for beach day!

I loved the expression on this toddler's face as he explored the gourd's texture. To a 10-month-old, the "first" harvest is always exciting. The picture was taken on a farm in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

At a friend's bar-b-q party, her dog got a little out of hand. I noticed her explaining the rules of etiquette to Buddy and snapped this picture.

With my youngest son graduating high school this year we decided to take a possible last family vacation all together. This sunset was from our first night in Puerto Rico.

This was taken of my daughter the afternoon after Hurricane Dorian brushed the Florida coastline. We live on the Indian River and wanted to get outside after being inside for several hours. The sunset was gorgeous and on the other side of us was a rainbow.

These are my three granddaughters. I love the look on my youngest granddaughters' face, it brings life to this photo!

I was taking pictures for a friend at a Pee Wee Football game in Petal, MS. For me, this photo shows how young boys take challenges that will one day make them men.

Last spring I took a chance at growing some sunflowers. I am not much of a gardener, however they actually grew...like crazy! This is my daughter with one of our home grown sunflowers.

Staying at an RV park in New Mexico, I sat and watched this grandmother blowing bubbles with her grandchildren visiting her trailer... they were there a long time... it was a precious moment.

My son Ethan plays cello for his 7th-grade orchestra. He was practicing outside on a beautiful fall day. We got a few looks from people driving by but that's okay. It's all in the name of art :)

After years of different sports, this was my son's first soccer game playing for a traveling, year-round team. Of all the sports he has played, this is his passion. We live in Evans, GA and the game was played in Columbia, SC.

My daughter, Evie, contemplates the moon. She has decided that she will be in charge of Mission Control some day. Her giant polar bear is used to this kind of nocturnal behavior.

The Fall AYSO soccer season is cold and damp, but the game must go on. Thankfully the uniforms are bright, but they could have used neon colored ball.
Soccer is huge here in Palos Verdes, CA. It brings the community together as it is entirely a volunteer based association, and the camaraderie is great. Parents who are involved are wonderful role models for today's youth.

Family is everything, memories are priceless.. this sweet boy ( wearing his grandfathers riding clothes) is blessed with an Angel watching over him.  This photo turned into a priceless moment, a lasting memory.
