This 35 page book of my nature photos was given to me at Christmas by my granddaughter Sara. It was a lovely surprise, and she did it all by herself. I could hardly believe it, and was completely overwhelmed by her generous gift. It must have taken her ages to do. |
 |
To give you an idea of what it looks like, here are a few images. You probably recognize some of the photos. |

These flowers in bud form are in bloom now in the garden |

Daffodils galore in the garden, with sprawling Rosemary in the background. |

Great Tit in the shade. |

Quite an angry look, but I've included it for a bit of fun! |

Mel is my constant companion. She sits on her own blanket on my bed, and you can also see her duvet cover on the left.:) |

Cacti against fence, photo taken in July last year. |

A further study of the cacti. I'm short on photos!!:)) |

WoW!! what an amazing and very thoughtful gift. your images are outstanding!! it's wonderful that your granddaughter is so interested in your photography and is so supportive!!!
i would like to prepare a book like this, with my best bird pictures...but i need help and don't have a lovely granddaughter to help me. i do print my blog but that is all my posts. i would love to have one of my birds only!!
have a nice rest of the weekend, it was good to see you today!!!
This is a wonderful and very thoughtful gift from your granddaughter. I have enjoyed all the photos, incredible and exquisite, a joy to see.
What a legacy you are going to leave behind although I hope we shall see many years more of your beautiful and sharply focussed photographs.
We can only pick the avocado that he can reach with the pole, they fall off but not many fall because the squirrels knock them down. the tree is way to big and is out of control. hubby planted a seed in a bucket and then into the ground and it went crazy. we think it needed to be cut back.
had to laugh at the fluffy mashed comment. the word fluff is a dish made with cottage cheese, sugar free jello, crushed pineapple and cool whip.
Son preciosas. Me alegro de verte. Besos.
Enjoy the read!

I can only imagine what a wonderful surprise the book was. It's amazing today how we can customize these things and assemble and publish a book on line.
Beautiful photography.
