I've been following Pioneer Woman's instruction on apeture and shutter speed. She's very good and makes it more understandable then the photo teacher I had at Ritz Camera. This is what I got when I shot this picture in apeture priority.

This is Megan's quilt that I gave her for Christmas. Yes, I'm trying to do a quilt for each of you girls but it may take a few years.

Cute Grandkids

Day 37

I love this picture. It was taken several years ago on Mackinaw Island. As I remember after a few bites, the ice cream landed on the ground.

Of course, I had to post two tonight because I have four beautiful grandkids. I love this picture too. It was taken in Alaska.

Beautiful Housing

Day 36

When our city decided to build some new low-income housing they built this beautiful apartment complex on the site of an old motel. The single story building that you see in the photograph was actually going to be refurbished from the old motel because of it's historical value. Unfortunatly, an arsonist burnt it to the ground just after the work began on it. They rebuilt the single story building in keeping with the original plans. I love the way these are all painted.

Old Car

Day 35

I just love this sign.
