I've read a couple of books & just got through with my 3rd. I would highly recommend Ghost Boy by Martin Pistorius, if you haven't read it. As a Speech/Language Pathologist, it really struck home. I just finished The Rosie Project; I'd recommend this one, too.

I love your pictures, especially the waterfall ones. So beautiful. What a lovely park you have and what a great place to practice with your camera. Hope you will enjoy your photography class, although your pictures look pretty great to me.
ReplyDeleteWe've been watching Netflix a lot too in the evenings lately. Only, we've been watching some really old shows. Chuck, Stargate and SeaQuest. We've really been enjoying these old shows.
Hope you have a great summer. Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures as you learn in you class.
Sounds like a great start to summer. Sometimes, you just need to slow down. Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteYou will have fun in your photography class! We offer them at the Art Museum, where I work, and they fill up so fast. Please let us know how you like them and what you are learning! Great photos already however!
