My friend's youngest son: looking into the future.

My friend's oldest son.

He was looking out the window as we chatted about things he liked to do, especially outside. 

Above left is the orginal picture. My friend
suggested I try some portraits of people in black and white (see right).  I also cropped it a little.

Spending time with his son.

My good friends are helping me with the rest of my assignments. Mom having some fun.

I love this plaster imprint of my son's hand at age 3. I was proud when I was pregnant with him and overjoyed when he was born.

I don't post on facebook. I found this clematis picture that I took in my garden in 2006. I love the green stripe, the white petals and brown stamens.

My son's portrait, a picture taken in December. I thought that this picture of the ones I had, fit the assignment the best.

I took these pictures of Tom's hands while he was getting ready to work on his standup comedy material.

Lots of laundry to do when they are home.

Molly is taking care of the plant after they are gone.

Cortez, looking a little forlorn as they are getting to go out without him.

While walking outside in the sun, thought it would be fun to take a picture of our walking shadows as staying in for the afternoon.

This was suppose to be a self portrait, but I decided to post a picture of some dear friends.

My good friend and her dog are helping me with my homework. I wanted some other subjects bedsides my cats. This was fun.

I tried editing this icicle shot on the computer.. first time.. think it came out pretty good.. before and after shots

When my wedding band became a little too tight, I purchased this silver ring with shells on it. I love the ocean.

Tom writes several hours a day. He brings his backpack, finds a place to get some coffee and write.

My son Tom took me into Boston for a belated Birthday celebration. These were taken at the Prudential building.

My son Tom is working towards improving his stand up comedy skills by traveling, writing and performing.

My cats love sleeping on my bed as well as the couch and my computer chair.

My son, Tom pitched through out school and college. His passion now is stand up comedy. Catch him at Howard Johnsons, on Boylston Street in Boston.

My son Tom brought me back these beautiful crystal earings from Sweden one summer, while he was there to play baseball.

My son Tom, his grandfather, his great grandmother, and a family civil war picture.

Molly and Jasmine One day I looked over and saw them together in the same chair.

Molly on the kitchen counter.. love the company but can't leave food out.
