Allen Street

Took a trip on Saturday to see my daughter Molly and Vester. I went to college in Buffalo and one of my favorite areas was Allen Street. So we took a walk down there. Love the whole atmosphere there.
Enjoy. . .

 The locals step out for a smoke.

 Vester's serious side.

 I call this "I love bricks" or "Save the Basil"

 Here come the pretty freckles.

No - I have no idea who this is, but I loved this shot. I store a lot of photos on my iPad but have never taken one with it.

Lilac Festival

Well, I finally got to the Lilac Festival - after all these years. Normally I just go see my favorite bands and hang out in the bowl - never realizing just a few hops, skips and jumps away was a plethora of lilac bushes. I have to say - I'd go again just to smell them. My daughter Abby was a good sport and modeled for her Mom. And then there were some other interesting characters here and there. Take a look.

Rosanna and Dick's Engagement

I had the most wonderful opportunity tonight of photographing my dear friend Rosanna and her fiance, Dick. What a fun couple. This is one of my favorite times of the year for outdoor photos (of course outdoor is always my preference). But it's so great to be out with all the new growth and buds and greenery. Winter makes us appreciate more, doesn't it? Thank you both Rosanna and Dick for a wonderful time. I love my job.
