I despise going back to favourite childhood places, like forests that were once an escape for kids to explore and build those fond memories, only to discover that all those beautiful trees are now a pile of crammed-together houses. It feels so foreign. I like that you used the word "lost" in the pond photo.
Hold onto your "Aunt and Niece" picture. That land may be what they have to use to build schools for the children of the 12 year olds in a few years.
Dekka00 said this in post #17 : That photo is from a field between my elementary school and my middle shcool. Hopefully they won't have to build another school so close
About a month and a half ago, I knew I was walking in some pretty heavy winds, but I had no idea until I arrived back home that I was actually walking through a tornado.
I didn't take these pictures, but my cousin did, so I thought I would post them here. Although it was a severe storm, which turned into a tornado, I still find these pictures beautiful.
Dekka that pond is so beautiful annnnd so are the restof your photos and thewayit is photosof the tornado are also incredible.
AS SOON AS i GET THE FILMS OF THE "AFTERMATH" of Katrina
sHOWING THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF MY FAMILIES HOMES i WILL post them
My daughter and her husband went t down fully equiped with Hasmat gear,boots and gloves to see if anyhing was salvagable. It a saaaD STORY ON FILM.
sHE WOULD CALL ME at night and tell me of the stench still with in the houses ( We all lived within one block of each other
Our neiihborrhood got smashed but good as we were within 3 or 4 blocksof the "breached 17th street levee) It went down at first storm surge and drowned our houses to rooftops)
Not a pretty sight but the photos will fit here Dekka.

Life may not be the party I had hoped for.......
But while I'm here I might just as well listen to the music and dance..

The old saying "you can't go back" is so true

These are just a few pictures I took during my vacation at my grandparent's farm in Pennsylvania. Nothing special, I was just playing around with a Sony CyberShot DSC-F717. It's a nice digital camera, but I still prefer old fashoned film cameras. I think it's too easy to manipulate digital photos using programs like photoshop. Anyway, I still really enjoyed the camera. Here are a few pictures I took while just messing with the settings.
