Here is my grandson as he begins college at Florida State in Tallahassee Florida, a thousand miles from home. It pulls at my heartstrings to have him so far away. We are in touch most days and Facetime once in a while. BUt I do miss him so.
I value your comments

*****DUe to an unrelated issue, I will have limited access to my desktop (and thus all of my photos) for a while. IN the meantime I have posted ahead some of my archive photos. I will comment when I can access from another computer. thank you for understanding.*****

Photography is my hobby and I enjoy viewing your comments and images , because they help me become better. I look through my lens and see art, beauty, color, texture and detail. I hope you enjoy seeing my journey from my point of view. Thanks for stopping by.

Je te comprends mais je me répète sans cesse qu'il faut savoir couper le cordon et les laisser s'envoler... je reste quand même une maman et une mamie poule comme on dit.... très présente mais sans les étouffer (enfin, je crois et je l'espère !!! :-) Il faut les laisser s'envoler, ils savent que nous sommes là si besoin c'est le principal... mais je comprends ton manque !!!!
Bonne journée et bon we Ruthie

Guess what ? I am on to the last chapter of my detective novel with Ronnie and Alvia...Only difference is that the kids are grown up now (Alvia and Ronnie ) and the Novel is also for those above 19..yes an adult book with murders Aw!! But when I say adult...there are no sizzling bedroom scenes!! It is a CLEAN book!! Ha ha ha !!
Love & hugs

A beautiful photo ! Yes we miss them when they are far away but you must be proud of him, and as you are close you have each other in the heart .

Seeing a child leave the nest and embark on their adult life must also be a great experience.

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

That's life.
Children, grandchildren, they all end up leaving, sometimes far away.
Fortunately, with current communication technologies, the world is small and we can talk to each other and see each other, despite the distances.
