After dealing with the loss of my husbands Father, My Grandmother (97 years old) and a close friend of my family's, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. working in the garden is the one way to get back into the groove of life.

    I busied myself with planting flowers and adding more to my beds. I also took a beginners digital camera class to learn to use the different functions of my camera better. This has helped me take better pictures with out using auto on my camera or computer fixes. all the photos in this set were taken with Manuel setting on my camera. the only thing I did on the computer is crop. 

I hope you enjoy the set.

    I also dedicate this set to my Grandmother who love my photos and taught me to enjoy nature and what is around me. (She too was a gardener)
