Whoo-Hoo! Time to Celebrate!

Four years of frustration, late nights, tired eyes, chewed fingernails 
deserves at least two days of celebration, don't you agree?
Here are a few moments I captured in my camera this past weekend as my middle son officially said 
good-bye to college life...

It was a blur, those four years...


The Eyes of Texas are upon you...


He's in there somewhere...


My parents were determined to be there...


The celebration continued the next day... 
a reception in the second oldest building on campus, overlooking the huge UT ceremony.
First, cake...


Rich, antique woodwork and cherubs... I'm in heaven!



I just really like this photo...


It's cool in black and white, too...


Heading out to the final ceremony in graduation garb...



Tom watching the festivities in air-conditioned comfort...


And the grand finale... I took lots of these...








Whew! What a send-off! 
Congratulations, again, Daniel!

  1. OMG, Barbara, these are more than amazing. Most of them look like they should be published! I'm totally serious. Did you get a new lens? How did you accomplish such clarity and perfect lighting at night? You've blown me away, girl!!!!

    BTW...your Dad and Daniel look so alike in that photo!
