Summer Is Here!

It's the end of April and tomorrow is May 1. 

It's official.  Summer has arrived. 

I drove to Carbondale today and the purple iris is in full bloom. 

I love purple irises and every other color too.

 

 

April is National Poetry Month and

I was privileged to have my poem Ocean's Child

on display at the Carbondale Public Library. 

Here's the proof. 

 

I not very experienced at taking a 'selfie'. 

So I had given up on a photo of me with my Ocean's Child. 

I was just closing up the camera when this adorable young man walked by. 

(Dark curly brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, great smile. . . )

He glanced my way, so I said, "Are you any good at this?" (holding out the camera) 

 

He said, "Well, yes, I think I am." 

So I explained what I wanted. 

He took the camera and I posed by my Ocean's Child. 

He aimed and repositioned and took the shot. 

Then he decided to take another.  And he did. 

 

I said, "You look like a professional doing that." 

And he (smiling) said, "I am a professional amateur photographer." 

I said, "Thanks." 

His name is Danny. 

He's going to be a very handsome man. 

Here's his work.

 

 

And the second one:  What do you think? 

I think the next generation is going to be phenomenal,

amateur or professional!

 

 

 

Happy Summer!

 

Hope you see lots of irises!
