The one problem with planting trees is that once you get my age you need to buy some pretty big trees if you want to see them reach a good size. 
The book is historical fiction & follows the life of Sarah, a Jewish girl living in Paris during the Holocaust. 
I could not put the book down in fact, I read it in one day, her story is riveting.
I went outside behind the school & took nature shots.
It was during sunset. 
Photos that I guess can be used at Halloween. 
Maybe I'm just to old for this colorization.
She has also come back as a cowgirl, hat, boots & even a guitar.
Maybe one day I'll post a video of her playing her new song. I was very impressed. I'll have to feature Eric & his videos also. 
The time involved aside, the scones are DELICIOUS !!
Welcome back Amie!
Our trillium are Trillium grandiflorum.
I love the Trillium. I'm glad I hung the sheets out otherwise I think I may have missed watching the blooming.
Mining is that someones past, present & future.
Hope your birthday rocks!!!
Love you.
looking down
and a full body shot.
We also had to do group portratis. Unfortunally, I only had my 50mm 1.4 lens. I can't get more than one person in focus with the lens.
Our teacher is in the photo, she has a scarf on.
One thing I did learn was to take the camera off auto focus when taking a self portrait. I've never tried that, next time.
Sean playing a bit of hockey of a different kind. 
The family genes are very strong. This could be Eric 23 years ago. If I wasn't so lazy I could dig up a picture for comparison. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Oh, David brought Sean and the four of us had a nice time together. Only negative our team lost.
I need to find a Mini-Mite team for Sean. I still have Eric's jersey that he wore at five. 
The outside of the church was just as beautiful as the inside.
Chuck, for a second time, giving away one of his daughters.
A bonus of getting married around Easter, the alter already has flowers.
I always like simple bouquets on all the tables at the reception.
The brown sugar cubes caught my eye. It was a nice touch. I'm sure it was for the coffee but, I had to eat one plain.
Hope the couple has a wonderful life together. They certainly got off to a great start!
They have been the talk of the neighborhood & even people not in our neighborhood.
I've been tempted to take a hike but I'm afraid of what I might find, something dead in the woods. Or another scenario, there is a nest & I would be swarmed by all the vultures thinking I was a predator. 
Maybe this weekend I'll get the courage to go take a look and I'll get Mick to go with me.
A broken egg filled with water, placed in an egg cup with a daffodil cut from my garden. I cut the daffodil Easter morning unfortunately, the daffodil did not bloom in time. All day Easter I kept moving the egg cup with the sun. Next year Easter is April 24th, will it be to late for daffodil's? I hope not, I'm giving this another try. 
by Stewart O'Nan was our selection last month. Although the book is literary fiction I think young adult fiction would me more accurate. 
This is a good "book club" book, it made for great discussion. Having a daughter just removed from high school & college hit close to home for me. A couple nights I tossed & turned thinking about the what ifs.
This was along the shore of the St. Lawrence. It looked as thou a snow flake formed into a fossil.
Just below the water fall.
A weed frozen into an icicle.
This close up doesn't do justice to what the ice looked like.
Thanks to Sandy for my tour !!
