Birthday Parties are always wonderful events.

My daughter-in-law turned 40 last week, so her husband had a surprise party for her. He also rented a local billboard and had her birthday wish there for a week. She didn’t notice until he posted it on Facebook on her birthday (Wednesday)

Porte Ponderings:

Two barn swallows sitting on a railing in front of a door. A ghost looking from behind the glass, unnoticed until the picture is edited for today’s Pic. Are there really ghosts? Or just reflections of unknown shadows?

This summer is going to be so busy. Everything crammed into such a short period of time. 2 weeks a piece for 3 of my Grandchildren leaves only 2 weeks for self-indulgence. Going to see Donny Osmond, my brother-in-law’s 65th birthday party, my grand nephew’s 1st birthday, Last Party at Kin Camp (now under new ownership), Anniversaries, Family Reunions, daily walks…..

So if you want to capture any special events, don’t forget a good photographer to turn those moments into memories:

Special Anniversaries should be celebrated.
Why not book a private photo session?

the funniest food: “kumquats”.
I don’t even bring them home anymore.
I sit there laughing and they go to waste.
