Inspiration Avenue Blog Challenge

This weeks theme reminded me of the many times we traveled to the beach on the Washington coast. Many times we would have our daughter, Shelly & her family with us. The ocean has many moods of "STORMY WEATHER". I have captured them in pictures, but if you are a photographer, you know they never really show the "Moods".
Today I decided to take 4 of my photographs and merge them together to create one for this weeks challenge.......

"STORMY WEATHER"

The photographs centers around one taken of my grandchildren making the most of a storm on the beach, by running into the waves with the wind whipping at them, turning the waves & sand around them. Showing you can have fun in......

Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge

"Dolls"

I have not entered the challenge for some time.

I was every inspired this week with the theme

"Dolls"

Growing up I had lots of dolls. I had a Story Book Doll collection that number quite a few dolls. I still have the collection, but have not taken care of it as I should have.

The dolls in this picture hold many memories. The Teddy Bear was a gift for my first Christmas. The doll on the left I called "Cindy" and she walks!!!

My very favorite is the Vogue Doll - Ginny - in the yellow dress & hat.

One birthday, the only thing I got that year were clothes for my

"Ginny Doll", all hand made by my Mother and my Grandma Werner.

Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories with this weeks challenge.
