Welcome to Favorite Photo Saturday!

We take a lot of photos every week. Sometimes hundreds! Seriously. (Love digital photography!) So we decided to choose one favorite each week and post it on Saturday. However this week we have three favorites!

I’m over the top in love with this photo of Austin (our 12-year old grandson) taking photos of the roses at our local elementary school. He went with us to see the Earth Day program our granddaughter (his baby sister) was participating in. The kindergarteners and fifth graders were planting trees together. As we were leaving, Austin took advantage of photographing the gorgeous rose bushes that line the front of the school. He’s a photographer in the making. Just look at this spider he spotted.

NY is the true photographer in our family. He has an eye for the abstract and more importantly details like the water drops on these delicate pink rose petals.

As we were leaving Disneyland this week the sun was setting but the “Partners” were glowing. I love the view with the lovely pink blossoms in the background.
