Bethany is 18!

A couple of days ago our eldest granddaughter turned 18. It's incredible that time goes by so quickly. Some things change and some don't and one thing that hasn't is that Beth has been a constant subject for my camera.

Here she is at 3 years old, and please note the Pentax umbrella. The location was Sizergh Castle.

Always Carry a Camera
