I wanted to go to fireworks last night, but it wasn't meant to be. We had an indoor picnic as Cincinnati was 96 and incredibly humid. We had a great time with Andy's new girlfriend and her two daughters - this is Diane. We also had an Irish immigrant who is Andy's boss at YouthBuild, and her husband. I love to listen to her accent. She immigrated here when she fell in love and married an American. I got a portrait lens and it is going to take some learning.
This is a lovely portrait, Cathy! Great color and lighting, cute expression and clarity. I heard about the hot weather and humidity...yikes. But glad you had an assortment of company. I hope you feel better after your beloved church closed their doors...
@grammyn this is his girlfriend's daughter. She has a 14 and a 15 year old girls. They are a riot. This is the first we met them. Diane came in with earphones in her ears listening to music on the phone. When we gathered around the table to eat she opened right up and we talked and laughed until they left. She wants to be a pediatric nurse and foster 12 children. She has huge goals for a kid her age. We'll see if this is a lasting relationship for Andy. I'm just glad that he is putting himself out there after almost 3 years of being alone.
What a cute expression- she looks like she's got a really fun personality. Glad you had such a nice celebration- there'll always be fireworks next year. It's been unbearable here too.
This one looks like she could be most entertaining. It’s a beautiful portrait of her
