Do You Want to Go Outside?

Me: Do you want to go outside with me?
Rubí: Let me get my camera, it just got batteries put in.

Where did that come from? Since when does she want to take pictures? Then my proud heart melted. Does she want to take photos like her Nana does?

She scampered off and she returned with a camera in hand, one I had bought Silas years ago on a whim (and it was my price) at Kohls in the toy department. I asked her if she had enough clothes on as it was windy. She told me to go on ahead of her and she would meet me outside. With a tiny jacket on (hey, she tried) and camera in hand, she joined me, and did we take photos.

The subject I was going to take photos of suddenly changed, it wasn’t the blooms all around the yard, it was a blossoming new photographer!

I was marveling at her…

It took me back to when Laura started to pick up a camera. She looks like a pro, doesn’t she?

Getting back to the other blossoms, loving mom’s dogwoods, as she’s not here to love them.

Now the white dogwoods.

Rubí was eager to tell me the bleeding heart flower that Yaya planted was her favorite.

Walking around the yard and just loving Yaya’s garden, I had to try and grab a photo of her azalea, and two dogwood trees together.

Miss you mom. Loving on your house and garden, it still seems like you’re here when I look at them.
