Happy Mother’s Day to you who are Mothers.  I can think of no greater gift than to give life to another.   Angie, Ben, and Joshua stopped over last night because we had fresh mushrooms.  🙂

I don’t want to say that is the only reason they stopped over but it was a strong motivator, since they had ran a 9 mile race earlier in the day and little Joshua has a nasty cold.  Poor little fellow was not feeling good you can see it in his eyes.

Hard to believe this is Angie’s first Mother’s Day as a Mother.  We sort of celebrated it last year but this year it counts.

Sorry I missed the last couple of days posting.  I just didn’t have any new images to show and I didn’t want to keep posting cars.  I’m going to get out this afternoon and see if I can find some interesting things to shoot.

I don’t particularly like this shot.  The angle, the composition and the lighting all pretty much suck.  The subjects are spectacular so one our of 4 isn’t all bad I guess.

We enjoyed the mushrooms and I grilled some burgers so it was a nice evening and good food.  I felt so bad for Josh though as you could just see in his eyes how rotten he felt.  He sneezed a couple of times and it kind of confuses him.

I remember when the kids were little and they would get a cold.  You just wanted them to be able to blow their nose so they would feel a little better.  It sure is tough when you feel rotten and don’t understand why and can’t complain to anyone.

Finally after the kids left I walked outside to enjoy the evening air and looked around the corner of our home and saw this wonderful sunset.  So I had to go inside and get my camera.  Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s day.

Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
