Why
I love photos! I love taking photos! So this blog will be mostly photos (and an occasional video clip) I've taken, and though they will speak thousands of words by themselves, I'll usually be adding my 2¢-worth, too. ;)
About Me
- Grandma G
- Down on the Farm, Minnesota, United States
- I am married, a mother of two, and a grandmother of one teenager who’s growing up too fast! I am retired from the work force and am enjoying being "just" a homemaker. I love to sew, and I guess you could call me a "bag lady". :)

Great pictures, isn't it fun to do "drive by shooting" photos. Now the next step is to take them while you are driving. It is against the law to talk on a cell phone (I know I got caught) but there is no law against taking pictures, I haven't figured that one out yet.
It really is an odd year when at the beginning of April it looks like the end of May. Does this mean you will have snow in September? Mark
Spring has definitely sprung!
I live in South Florida now, so things are in bloom here year-round. However, I'm originally from Upstate New York and I remember how magnificent it was to watch those first buds and flowers come out, then turn into gorgeous trees full of happiness. Beautiful photos! They make me a little homesick but bring back really great memories.
Yep, that is what it looks like 'round here! I am loving this spring!
Mark, it had better NOT mean snow in September! ACK!!
Beautiful pictures! I love your nature photography.
Happy Spring!
Gwen
Thanks, Gwen, and Happy Spring to you, too! Or maybe it's more like summer there by now, huh?
