Hynes Family Reunion 2018

 

In July 2018, we hosted the Hynes Family Reunion at one of the MetroParks here in Cleveland. This would be my Mother's side of the family. We had great weather and wonderful memories. Hopefully, we can make this event either be annually or biannually. It's always great to see family and how huge the Hynes side has become!

Baby Raccoons 2018

 

For many that know me, I have loved raccoons since I was a teenager. I devoured books at the library that had anything to do with raccoons. So.... you can imagine my delight when we noticed three baby raccoons foraging for food in our backyard. So adorably cute! They were eating the berries off the shrubbery in the back and the bird seed in the feeders behind the other buildings. We got some great shots of them as we were able to get up close too!
