Fun Monday, Favorite, Favorite, and Favorite

AOJ and The Lurchers hosts todays Fun. She's an avid photographer and is excited to see our favorite photographs.
Mine aren't favored because of their artistic merit.
Rather, because they are forever blurred by tears - shed through the years for any reason you can possibly think of. If I had time (and energy) I would post a photo with each of my 9 grandchildren, too.

Cakers

Mothers always think their babies are the most beautiful picture in the world.

Babies are beautiful. Those are certainly photos to be treasured.

(BTW, the word verification for this post is "uraho"....sound it out. Think I should make anything of that?? -grin- )

OK, this is not what I intended to comment but my word verification is koalastds. Should we worry about the little koalas, too? in addition to the polar bears?

Beautiful babies you had and what a very lovely mum you were, too.

It cracks me up the way all your family has these names--probably not the ones on their birth certificates? And, I agree, it's not the quality of the photograph that matters, it's the the subject.

BTW, I'm so happy to finally get into your blog. I read your posts each week but can't comment most of the time. Keep getting a blasted red stop symbol. What am i doing wrong, do you think?

Of course, these are the best kind of pictures, mother and child. Our son send such a picture to my phone last December about an hour after the birth of his daughter.

looking at my baby picture - I see no resemblance to Caboose with my baby picture. That sums it up - he looks like his dad.

Hi Pamela,

I can see why these pictures would be some of your favorites. I assume those are pictures of you with your three babies. Good job.

Photos of moms with their new babies are, in my opinion, one of life's best treasures.

Sweet photos, Pamela!

Aunt Ruth does indeed still care for her home and is still an avid gardner. Her son helps with mowing. Other than that, she tends the gardens.

So, y'all've had this nickname thing going long before blogging, huh? And I do "see" Karmyn in you, cool to see so clearly.

I thought about posting infant shots but the truth is, they aren't my favorites...AND...they were more difficult to find. Enough reason for me to go with Plan B.

You make beautiful babies, btw...of course, they have good genes!

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
