The Best Tribute I Can Make

Flickr Group Roulette's topic today was "Celebrating Fathers." Here's my picture and the comment I made:

I think the greatest tribute I can pay to my father is raising my son (and daughter, who was NOT cooperative for the photo shoot!) in the same way he raised my sister and me, which was the same way his father raised his three. I don't know I am being as successful as he was, but I am giving it my best shot.

The snapshot is a four generation picture of us a month after my son was born and a couple of months before my grandfather died.

Thanks, dad! I love you!

Triple Shot

Invited to Post to a Group

If you have looked around flickr, you discover that there are groups, which are collections of photographs that have common subjects, topics or themes. There is a group called Windmills: The Old Fashioned Kind, which invited me to post these two windmill pictures to their group.

I recognize this does not make me a published photographer or famous or anything else like that, but it is sort of cool to know someone saw a picture or two and thought they were nice enough to be included, especially since I was just snapping away that day and not trying to produce any works of art. You can check out the entire group here.

Windmills

Dad has blogged about our trip to the American Wind Power Center and Museum and has occasionally enlightened us about the capacity of windmill generation in various principalities and states throughout the US. I really do not have anything to add to what he has said (especially about capacity - I don't have time to look all of that stuff up!!) except to say "Amen!"

I did, however, add the pictures we took of the day to flickr. You can find those here, if you are so inclined.

Flickr

As you can see to the right, I have uploaded some pictures to flickr.com, which is a site that lets you upload pictures and then others can see them. Most of the pictures are for family and friends. If you will go here and sign up, then you can search for hubcityrob. Under "Contacts" add me as a friend or family. When you do, I will be able to add you and then you will be able to all of the pictures.
