Skylar in mirror

Here's a great shot of Skylar, she loves mirrors.....

I'm still here..... It has been some time since I have been on my blog and I thnk it's time I got back to it. My new granddaughter, Skylar Rayne, and I did some bonding in January for almost three weeks while her mom was away. We had a great time , but I have to tell you, I forgot how much energy it takes to keep up with a little one. The weather was very cold and we had to go to Morrin every day to take care of Tiffy , Tipper, the dogs, and Hugo ,the kitty. Skylar loves the dogs and even let the cat get chummy with her. She turned one in February and is starting to investigate everything around her. We had a birthday party for her and she liked the bags and boxes better than her gifts and had her first Ice cream cake. I started working in the jewellery store in Drum. in February , and find it nice to be around the public again. I've been waiting for spring to arrive and now that it's here I don't know where to start with the cleanups.I've been taking a lot of photos, learning how to do different things with them, and I've found a lot of different subjects. Skylar seems to be one of the most photographed one at this time.
