My finished project looks alot different than the others. I have been struggling with how to add elements from one photo to another. I think I got it. But, Instead of sandwich makings ending up on a plate, I used several different hummingbird photos and added them all to one pic. I even found a Monarch that finished off my photo. -

I found a little tree frog in my raspberry bushes and thought it would be a fun show-and-tell item for the little girl I nannied. I captured it in a small bowl and used plastic wrap (with a few holes punched in) to keep it contained. I put the bowl on the counter for the next morning's trip to the girl's house. The whole afternoon the frog chirped. And chirped. And chirped. So I put the bowl in the car. The next morning, I got into the car to drive to the girl's house, only to discover that the frog was no longer in the bowl. It had gotten thru the plastic wrap and escaped. In my car. I searched the whole car but did not spot it. For the next two weeks I drove with my pants legs tucked into my socks so the hopper wouldn't surprise me crawling up my leg. And for two weeks I left all four car doors open in the hopes it would find its way free. It must have gotten out as I found no frog or smelled any remnants of it.

I live an hour west of Minneapolis and had good luck finding the Northern Lights about 5 miles out of the town I live in. Looking the sky over, disappointingly, all we saw were white streaks from the horizon to straight over our heads. No color at all, just white streaks. I set up my dslr camera on a tripod and took a few photos anyway, and to my surprise when I looked at the LCD screen on the back of the camera the colors were there. Of course I took many photos over the 2 hours we watched. (midnight to 2:00.a.m.) This was the first time I have seen the Northern Lights and hope to again to perfect the pics I take next time. I will admit I did some photo editing as the photos were very grainy. I will try different settings on my camera next time.

As a child with 8 siblings, I don't recall having visits with Santa so it's a special treat to get to share that special occasions with grandchildren. This morning Santa patiently waited for us to bravely get closer to get our picture taken.

What a wonderful gift. I got tears. You did an awesome job with the photos and the story. I think you should get it published for libraries and such. Can't wait to see "Dad's" reaction.
