I
can remember my mom taking pictures - many pictures. She wasn't much of a photographer. But she did her best to preserve memories by
taking photos.

 |
many of mom's photos make it seem
like the background was her focus |
 |
The painting (or at least parts of it) above
has made it to several photographs

brother Patrick, me, Corey's head, Great Grandma, dad
behind her, great aunt who recently past holding Kayla |

Kayla and Corey at Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Canada.
We do not know the people in the background. |
I must have picked that up from her and added to it - so
I would take pictures of material things as well as people.

After
a while my mom no longer took mounds of pictures. She relied upon me to take the photos - which
I did. Neither of us had ever attempted
taking selfies.

| Christmas in July 2009 |
When
we first got to Oregon, I took hundreds of photos.
Over the years they have all seemed to blend together.
Both
Jenna and I had taken pictures to enter into a contest here in town.
The winning photo would be made into a
postcard.
 |
I took this one - the boy found a rock we had
left on the trail. I thought he was cute about
finding his "treasure" |
 |
| This is the one I selected of the many that Jenna had taken |
Neither
of our photos won, but I was later contacted for permission to use in the
Myrtle Creek calendar.
Jenna brought
home a brochure last night.
The brochure
gives a calendar outline of community activities.
On the cover is the picture that she
took.
I am so proud!
Now
it's Jenna's turn to hold the camera and take millions of photos - including
selfies
and my turn to sit back and let her.
