My blog is usually just to showcase my work and what is going on with the studio, but I really wanted to share this pic of my grands. Both have gone to live with the Lord, but they are still a part of my life. I have always known that I got my photographic abilities from my father who has always taken great photos as a hobby and for our family. (I was a WELL documented child, even for the film days!) He took this picture years ago and it is such a wonderful moment! My grandmother had great fashion sense and was never afraid to wear “loud” clothing. The bright pink of the shirt is a perfect companion to her ALWAYS manicured pink nails. I still can hear the “tap, tap, tap.” LOL! Grandaddy was the ULTIMATE gardener. He grew roses, camellias and tiger lilies, just to name a few… He also had a vegetable garden and greenhouse. I would explore the greenhouse looking for lizards and snakes as a child. He lived in the “jumpsuits” of the 70s -80s. I don’t know how many he had, but all I remember was the baby blue one and a red one. They had a metal belt in front that reminded me of a puzzle. He was either in a jumpsuit or his plaid golf pants :). These two are a part of who I am and I am so proud to share their love of laughter and life.
