Birds, Bees, and Grand Daughters

OldGuy · April 27th, 2009, 08:39 PM

Well I wasn't in NE for a ride, and I didn't have any wheels in the SFO/SJC area to enjoy the SBR Annual Newbie ride, but I did get to spend the weekend in Morgan Hill with my Grand Daughter, her Mom, and my loving wife and try out the new camera.

Some Birds -

A Bee

And a Grand Daughter

Grand children make everything else small potatoes and non-issues. She is a joy that is for sure.

Awesome pics Don! Cool thread and precious little grand daughter!

oh my, the picture of her with the sunglasses and hat, reminds me of my daughter once upon a time. She is a little angel. As for grandpa, one of my guys gave me that nickname while we were in Iraq, as I was the oldest in the shop by far, I was 40 at the time and everyone else was late teens to late 20's, and the name stuck. I have a almost 17 yr old, going on 25, and it will be awhile before a baby calls me grandpa.

nb

congrats, she is gorgeous.

Thanks - I was concerned that I might be a little biased about how cute she is

Don, the pictures are excellent! Of course, the grand daughter has to be Grandpa's "Little Girl!"

It's been soooooooooooo long since I've seen a Humming Bird! Looks like you've got the camera down pat.

BlueTyke · April 29th, 2009, 06:05 AM

Don those are great photos!

Your Grandbaby is adorable! Though I am really impressed with the Hummingbird picture. I am glad you got out there to visit on such a great weekend!

(KK, sorry about the layover.)

I was in the neighborhood. We were at my son's house in Santa Clara watching the Sharks win one and then left SJC at 11:40 am Sunday to return to NE. I wondered what had happened to you

My son-in-law, daughter, and grand daughter live with his folks and his Mom is a Master Gardener. The yard is filled with just about everything you could think of so I had a lot to work with. There were two humming birds but managed to catch this one in flight.

It was a great weekend. If you want to see any of the other pictures PM me and I'll send you the Costco link - but have a fresh cup of coffee. Love having a digital SLR (click, click, click . . . delete later)
