Basket in hand, I was heading out the door. "Woh there woman- stop- aren't you going to take a few shots of us all dressed up?"

It must have been sweet little De Meaux that brought me to my senses. 

Bonica was tucked in so tight she just wanted to get to the party.

The others were laughing- ready for anything.

Gertrude Jekyll said, "Sure you can take me out for a picture, but hurry."

Six rose-filled Japanese teacups on their way to a Mother's Day Luncheon.

Happy Mother's Day !

The rose flush brought on by a recent heat wave was in full bloom.

I'd been working hard all day in the garden,

when a friend dropped by.

She asked me, "Do you photograph the garden?" She didn't know about my blog.

Her simple question made me grab my camera after she had left.

You see, I never photograph at this time of day.

A friend's visit- or should I say cosmic nudge.

G R A T I T U D E for serendipity.

Happy May Day too!!
