Different things make me happy

A Mothers love, makes me feel all warm inside...

My daughter becoming a mother is a happy thing...

A smiling dog is nice to see...

My two sweet Kitties chumming it up is a happy day for me...

My whole family and Lourie there to take the picture was very happy for me...

My son Jason spending his birthday with me was greeaatt!!!

And flowers are a beautiful way to pass some time.

And a beautiful sunset to finish the day is one way to make me happy.  I love to see and feel joy in my life and to be able to take pictures that reflect the things that make me happy.  I took all these pictures except one picture of Nicole the black and white one, and the family portrait of  me and my kids.  But of course that does not take away the happiness they bring me.
The family portrait I would have to say is a personal favorite, as my kids and I are not quite ever in the same place at the same time, it is rare.  I am so thankful that I was able to get a picture of all of us, and I thank Lourie, and Emmy for their contributions.  Lourie was the photographer, and Emmy Barton was the Editor.
The next favorite is Lucy and JoAnn.  The Mother and her baby.  Well I took it and I have to say it is quite the moment.  I like it anyway.  I also favor my cat picture but mostly because it's my cats.  Teddy the dog that is a good picture too, I mean I like it.  Teddy looks like he is smiling, he's so cute!  The flowers and the sunset I like because they are things that mean something to me, I don't know if they are good pictures but I like them.  Oh most of my pictures make me happy, because they are of people, and things that I love, and that brings feelings that are warm and good.  Maybe that is why I like photography so much.
