Giddie-UP Grandpa!!-Shirley
by Shirley Haden

I just took this today. A drizzly day along the Mississippi River and I snapped a shot of this fellow with the little girl on his shoulders. I showed it to him and then took 3 more and I just love this. Is it my favorite of the year? Well, it sure is today!

I do remember that photo, it was for self portraits with a twist or something like that. Funny I was just goofing around when I tried that out and it really was a deep strange feeling when I saw the finished photo. It was really strange! Thanks so much for the kind words Brent. This past year was a tuffy! I've always thought life is short so no time for petty things. Now I am even more detirmined to try and enjoy what is left! Having great people like the bunch on here is just what I need too. Katherine is another tough cookie and she is inspiration to a lot of women I think. :o)

Remember that shot you morphed of yourself when you were younger? Seems like you have gotten a second chance at life in many ways this year Shirley - not all good but here you are yelling with glee. I like the gusto and inclusiveness that you bring to your life and photography. It is a nice gift you give to the world - thanks for sharing.
