Diane's Lilly ... I believe this was the third time I took pictures of flowers. First a surprising one in my yard. Second at my dad's house. And now I'm thinking I just might like this!

OK ... for not being a "flowery" person, I sure am liking the creative and visual possibilities!!!

Beginnings of my interest in flower photography ... inspired by peonys in my dad's yard.

Grandpa's Barn

North Dakota Leftovers

The house we almost bought ... I still like the thought of being up in the trees.

It was the first flower of the year to bloom in our yard ... and my first floral photograph! This is the one that got me started.

Across the street? That would become our house!

More Science Project Pictures ... This is THE TEAM!

Grandparents

One of the photos on the table at my grandmothers funeral ... I had never seen this before. I barely remember my grandfather walking ... just a walker and then a wheelchair. He died when I was in 5th grade. Grandma lived a long time alone! I admire her for her determination and her strength. Even to the last time I saw her, she was always wanting to take care of her guests and not the other way around!
