Well, we drove out to Tyler this weekend to visit the Tyler Rose Garden. This year's garden seemed a little less impressive than the last time we went. We also got there a little late in the day for good lighting, so as a result, I had to hunt for flowers in shaded areas. It was still a fun trip all in all, but I have less material for the blog this time.
Well, this was supposed to be an updated family photo ... but Dad forgot to bring the tripod! Oh well, I'll get in on the next photographic oportunity!
Another great picture of my wife and I! A beautiful day, a beautiful woman... what more could I ask for?
Here's the current favorite of all the senior picture candidates... what do you think?
The main reason for today's visit to the Botanical Gardens was to get potential Senior pictures for Geoff's upcoming highschool graduation in May.... this is one of the candidates...
Here's a great picture of Brittany and I... I simply cannot believe how grown up she's become! She's such a sweet young lady!
Here's another picture of Ashley and I at the Botanical Gardens... doesn't she make me look good? That's one SWEET girl ;-)
What can I say abou this photo? He knows how to keep his mom happy ;-)
Here's my son, Geoffrey, with his proud mother - they make for a great photo!
This picture turned out so good! All my ladies wore blue today - they looked great!
Here's a sweet pose of Cindy and Ashley in front of a Japanese Maple... good subjects make for great photography!
Isn't this the sweetest young lady you've ever seen? I sure am proud of this sweet girl - she makes her Dad smile ;-)
We spent the morning at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and got many good pictures of the family... including this one of Ashley!
The three most wonderful women in the world... of course, I'm biased ;-)
So far, this is my favorite... time will tell if it makes the cut...
Aren't these the prettiest young ladies you've ever seen? They were my dates at the Father-Daughter banquet last night!
This was my other beautiful daughter who went with me to our church's Father-Daughter banquet last evening. 
Our church has an annual Father-Daughter banquet, and this is one of the lovely young ladies that accompanied me to the festivities last evening. 
Here's a great shot of my wife that I took this week... 
These are the beautiful women in my life! Aren't these the cutest hats you've ever seen? 
One final new picture of Ashley... more new grandkid pics coming soon! (of course, that's a relative term!)
Dallas Blooms wasn't as good this year as it was last year... but I still managed to get a few shots that seemed blog-worthy ;-)
Ashley decided to try her hand at some floral photography at Dallas Blooms this year - she did a great job!
My wife's valentine's day flowers didn't last very long.... so, I bought another bouquet to replace the others... and of course, that makes for a good photo oportunity ;-)
Another cool shot taken at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.
How better to celebrate a happy moment than with great family and friends! Ya see the guy second from the left in the blue checkered shirt? Well, that's Eric. He is responsible for all this ;-) Rumor has it there's a vulcan 500 in his near future!
Another beautiful rose that I would have overlooked if it hadn't been for Ashley - she found it, and I'm glad! Enjoy!
We drove out to Tyler Texas today to see the roses - it's no wonder they're famous for them! I highly recommend the Tyler Rose Garden - it is huge, beautiful, and best of all: FREE :-)
Here's a picture of some of the best looking subjects in the whole Botanical Gardens! Enjoy!
Found this huge rose tucked away, almost hidden by the whole bush. I wish my rose bush produced these kind of roses! Enjoy!
Another of the beautiful climbing roses growing at the botanical gardens. Enjoy!
Another picture from our trip to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. The colors were beautiful, and so was my wife :-) We got some good kid pictures and family portraits with the deep red backdrop of the Japanese Maple in the background. Enjoy!

We visited the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth this morning. Other than being a bit windy, it was a gorgeous day - and I'm glad to see roses starting to come into bloom! Enjoy!
