Am just so happy how these photos turned out. My son (who is graduating from college tomorrow) and i were on some errand late in the morning. It was scorching hot and light from the sun was harsh, as you can imagine. So when we chanced upon this random shrub by the roadside i asked him to shield the subject of my camera's eyes with his umbrella. Then i clicked away.
Looking at the flowers reminds me of that wonderful feeling of accomplishment parents feel (or long to feel) when the kids they raised turn out well. Your kid reaches legal age and you release them to the world, hoping that they blossom and thrive.
