Playing around with camara

.......and boy do I have a lot to learn! I turned my flash off. Only a couple came out acceptable. Last one I took is with flash. Have to read up in my manual..yet again. I wanted to share my little birds. These had been a gift to my parents on the event of their marriage. They were given by my now deceased adoptive grand-parents...Hazel and John. They meant the world to me...they were the sweetest old couple. She was plump and short and he was tall and skinny. When I was just a wee one Johnny would walk me down to our local post-office to get the mail. It was a site to see such a tall man and such a short little girl holding hands. One day I accidentally drew on one of their walls next to their bedroom...doing what toddlers do best. Johnny would not hear of cleaning it off the walls. He said it was art & was proud of my doodles. I will never forget them. They don't make them like that anymore! So it was just yesterday my Mom gave me the birds. I was sooo delighted! One has been broke and reglued but I will treasure them just the same! Thanks for letting me share in my memories! Happy Day! Cherry
