I had a different plan for today’s posting. But, after being snowed in most of the day and having little actual photo work to do, I thought I’d share my walk in the snow. Inniswood Metro Gardens is near my house. Near enough that even on a day when most people travel no further than [...]
It was Grandparent’s Day at school and I was under instructions to shoot my 12-year-old granddaughter with some of her friends. There were really only two choices.
