We did many trips in 2011, and also had many other outings, explorations and basic
photographic opportunities. We all know Dave loves to
take pictures, definitely a trait he inherited from
grandmothers on both sides of the family and a terrific
uncle who got him started with his first camera. The
family joke used to be that Grammie would not know if she had
a good time until she got her photos back. Now you know
why I always travel with at least one camera. Unlike Nanna's
old Brownie camera, I am able to take scenic moments in
time and capture them without cutting everyone's head
off in the picture. Denelle has been a very good sport
about accepting my love of photography which started in
the seventh grade. Every year the best twelve become
featured highlights in Dave's annual calendar. In
other words, I am always looking for the scenes that are
calendar worthy, and I love that Denelle accepts that.
