Family bonding at the beach :)
"ME!"
Okay, I don't mind having my picture taken .. much :) But usually don't like the composition of the shot. I loved this pic's layout, but it was too dark at this point in the dusk, and it didn't look right so ....... edited it to a sort of black and white and Viola! The picture was saved!
Great trip, great family, great extended family ......
"Bro ...."
Nate is my little brother, and loves to mug it up for the camera. Here he is pointing out our upcoming meal ingredient :)
"Sis ...."
My sister has a wonderful smile, and it really shows in this shot - though it looks like a self-portrait, it isn't. Nate snapped this shot of Tisha from a chair as she was laughing at something :) With us, we laugh a lot ... and you never know what will set us off either!
"Mother and son ..."
Momma Misha and the youngest clan member, Nate (yup, Nate mugging it up - again).
"Family is not always bloodlines ...."
Nate's Godfather Mitch is such a gift to our family. Mitch entered our lives about the time our Dad had his stroke. As a result, he's been a surrogate father to my siblings. Despite bumps along the road of life, he has been there for us all through the years.
Mitch has supported and respected us all - but most especially my brother. He lives here in Hollywood these days, and invites us out to visit whenever we can make it ....
