Okay, here we go. Who still needs to earn their Farmgirl Shutterbugs Badges?

Hooray! Do you want them all in one batch? A photo a day? I am interested, but could you put me toward the back of the line up? :)

Beautiful photos! I especially like the snow one.

Mama Hen- I have already earned the beginner level of this one so when everyone is done I'll post some pictures for the intermediate level. No hurry though! Too much going on right now LOL!
