Day: April 28, 2015

Today’s walk wasn’t going to be long, and I really wasn’t feeling the photography thing at all. I did a bit of work, but was fairly sure nothing would pan out. Then I landed at a house I visit each year: the front yard has a lovely selection of roses. I thought I’d at least give them a go, despite my mood and the wind. As I was leaving a woman came out of her garage and asked if liked her roses. We chatted a while. I’m normally not one to chat with strangers, but photography has changed the way I interact with people. I rather like that! She even talked enough to tell me she was 91 … didn’t look it at ALL! I sure hope I’m like she is when I’m that age, should I live that long. She was wonderful! She then offered to give me some roses. Well gee … yes, I’d LOVE some! This meant I had to hightail it home, since I wanted to get them in water. I added some of mine as well (the ones on the upper left, along with some of the Nandina domestica for the white contrast.

Turns out my walk was rather special!
