Lordy, Lordy look who's 40

today was my birthday... I cannot believe I am this old.
I took a few self portraits for posterity....
I like this black/white one the best-

here I am in color -
yeah, not a good hair day, but when it's almost 90 and really high humidity I'm lucky my bangs even stayed straight!

Black and White

One of my Yahoo groups is working on a black and white book to submit for publishing...
here's my page. You can't read it too well in the scan, but the text I found in my local paper says "there's more to us than black and white". I was so happy when I found that !

Photos from my garden

I spent a little time this afternoon taking photos of the flowers in my garden.
Here are a few of my favorites:

Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate (aka love lies bleeding). These are 4feet tall !

Sunflower in my front yard:

Sunflower in the side yard:

Sunflower on the other side yard:

Some pots my friend gave me (will have plants next year). I love the colors in this one.
