My PAD tonight is of my niece and my Mom. For those that have followed my PAD from the beginning (last April 2005), my first PAD images of my Mom
were of her after her horrible fall backwards down a set of concrete stairs, badly shattering her one leg. Now almost eleven months later, she is finished
with physical therapy, and received a “no restrictions” report from her surgeon just recently! She has been much tougher through her long recovery
than I have ever been with my minor ailments in comparison! She is one tough and incredible woman! No bias here! ;-) But it IS the truth!
And soon, she and my Dad will be off for a much-deserved tropical vacation, long overdue after this traumatic year!

And if I can convince my Dad to purchase a digital camera, I might get him convinced to post their trip photos here on Pbase!! ;-)
He's an excellent photographer! My first teacher!!

Great picture, better story, and I concur with Robin the best way to get dads to convert to digital is get them one ;o)

Great news and a wonderful portrait of two beautiful women. Perhaps you could surprise your "first teacher" with a new digital camera?

For me it feels like yesterday but for your mother it must feel like a lifetime. This is a nice shot of two very good looking girls !!

It's great to hear that your Mom is now fully recovered Mindy and to hear that she can soon have a real vacation is something that could make her even much stronger and rejuvinated. also if your Dad was your teacher on photography, for sure he can take great photos of the place where they're spending their fine vacation . :)
And this is a beatiful portrait of your mom and niece.

Delightful. And it is great to know that Mom is back in the pink!
Now, if I can make a plan for you, give your old rusty 10D to Dad and treat yourself to a new Canon 30D Seehttp://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-7891-8214
