Violet

I have never been going with plants.  My Mother and Grandmother always had flowers every where during the summer and in every room during the winter months. 

When my Grandmother died a few years ago, my  Mother told me to bring the violets home because she had never been able to keep African Violets alive. 

I brought them home with no hope of them surviving.  I started with three.  I know have over 20 plants now.  I love that I started with my Grandmother's plants.  This is one of the original plants. 

Thank you for letting me share a picture of one of the violets and a memory of my Grandmother Gunter.  Even though, I didn't know her as well as my other Grandmother (they died two weeks a part), I still miss her.

Have a great day everyone.

White Roses

I have seen some many beautiful roses this year.  These white roses are at a neighbor's house.  I just have to capture them on my camera.

My roses are still blooming.  I have several more buds.  I hope they have time to bloom.   If so, you will probably get a couple more pictures.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Sunset

This was the sunset on Sunday night in SE Michigan.  It was just a perfect sunset for taking pictures.  There was such pretty colors.  I wish I had got outside a few minutes early when the colors were higher in the sky.

  I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The Rest of Trestle Park

Here are the rest of the pictures.  I hope you enjoy looking through them.

This was a huge tree.  The branches were as large as some tree.  I will try to get a picture of it once the leaves are off the trees.

Trestle Park

Friday afternoon, I took my camera to Trestle Park for a short walk.  I walked around for 30 minutes.  It was a fantastic day and just perfect for an afternoon walk.

The roses are still in bloom and I was able to get some pictures, along with some of the creek.  I will post the roses now and the creek ones later.

Welcome

I love taking pictures and I hope to post lots of pictures for you to enjoy.  I have two digital cameras and my son will tell you I always have one with me.  You just never know when you might need to take a picture.

I am not a great photographer by no means but it is fun capturing some on the camera.

There are pictures of my flower bed from this summer.
