About Me

My photo
DFW metro, Texas, United States
I was born in Dallas, Tx and other than living in California a couple of times, I have always lived in Tx. I am married to a wonderful man, MJ. I have two great daughters, Dee and Melanie. And three grandsons, Dylan, Tyler, and the new grandbaby Ryder who I love to have come visit. MJ has a great son Shaun who lives in Indiana, married to Julie and has our only granddaughter, at the moment, Kennah. I have 3 dogs. Max is a 105 lb English Lab, Grace a border collie/boxer mix and Luna, our rescue dog is a Siberian Husky. I like to work in the yard. I now have around 40 rose bushes in my back yard. I had more but lost some during the last winter. The largest is a climber that is about 12 ft high x 18ft wide Seven Sisters Rose. It only blooms once a year in the spring, but it's worth it. I now have a offspring of the big one and when both bloom, it takes your breath away.

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!   And happy birthday to my grandson, Tyler.  He was born ten years ago today.

 St. Patrick was known for driving the snakes out of Ireland.  But what they don't tell you is he drank a lot and was the only one who saw the snakes.......


 
The boys are out on Spring Break and I had them for Monday and Tuesday.  We took them to the zoo and had a pretty good time.  I got lots of shots of Tyler climbing large rocks.  So he had fun.  (the photo below is a meerkat )  Dylan is twelve and getting to the age where he gets embarrassed easily, but I think he had a good time.

This is Tyler

This is Dylan.
If you haven't watched Meerkat manor, it's worth a watch or you could get it at Amazon.

My hand is slowly getting better.  I can use my camera if I hold most of the weight with my left hand.  I still have some pain around my wrist, near the slash, but it's getting less and less.    Some numbness still, the worst being in my thumb.  









I want to buy some lens for my Sony.  I've been looking at  the large 500mm.  This looks like a good deal.  I could really get a great Moon shot with this one.
