More boat pics

"I was featured" and a winner! Beautiful Buffalo Mountain, Floyd County, Va.

 

 

I never thought I could ever type these three words:

 

 

"I was featured"

 

I entered one of my many photos that I have taken of the view across the road in front of my little farm, into a contest for the best photo of Buffalo Mountain.

My photo of the mountain was from clear across the county but includes so many elements that depicts Floyd County perfectly, at least that's what I was told.

I won first place!

I won the cover shot!

I also landed a bio spot in the Floyd County Publications Magazine.

(My bio is on page 40)

This Magazine went out to 25,000 people!

I also won $100!

 

 

 

 

 

A Handmade Prom Gown, My beautiful grandaughter and her cute date!

 Yes, folks, I am THAT old...old enough to have a granddaughter who attended her senior prom 2 weeks ago.

 Her and her Mom went dress shopping and she picked out a dress EXACTLY like this one for $478

That was NOT happening, so we went to our favorite fabric shop in town, Schoolhouse Fabrics in Floyd, Va, and picked out fabric and began the construction. She couldn't have been happier with her dress!!

 I was able to have a very nice little photo shoot with these sharp kids in my studio!!

 Then we went across the county and grabbed a few pics of her best friend who is dating his brother. See any resemblance?

 We decided that this looks like a movie cover of a couple pistol packing detectives!!

Knowing these two like I do, there could very well be a pistol strapped around that thigh!

 My little tough girl cleans up pretty good doesn't she?

 Her little sister, Lillie, had to get in the pics, too.

 Morgan and Robin, of course prom is more for the Moms and Grandmothers!

and here's "The Kiss"

What ya think?



Out and About in Asheville, North Carolina

• On Wednesday, Robin and I went on a little road trip to Asheville, North Carolina to visit a friend of hers who just had a brand new baby girl.

As we were traveling thru the Tennessee Mountains we were just in awe of the beauty before us.

 Good thing I had my camera.

This was taken at a rest area, nice place to stop and take a deep breathe, huh?

 At one of the beautiful scenic overlooks.

 The one above was at a very steep overlook that I endured but I have to say I did NOT attempt the upper steps due to lung capacity and the high elevation...yes, I am a wimp!!

 It was a nasty dreary cloudy day but I sure love me some clouds and I don't mind capturing them thru a car windshield either.

 The mountains just rolled on and on!

 and on....

It was such a lovely trip....really good to get away from home for the day.....great to spend some quality time with the girls and take in some awesome scenery at the same time! I am ready for another day trip!!

 

Lot's been happening around the farm and I am ready to blog about it all again so grab a cup of coffee and stay tuned!

I have missed you guys!



This is my favorite of the day!
