a few weeks ago while making dinner I looked out the window and saw her
photographing trumpet vine blooms in the sunshine
I reached for my camera and took these shots
while trying to be quick and quiet
probably through misty eyes truth be known
my camera focused on an old tree root hanging on the garden wall
...
with her images of orange and mine of blur
an impromptu photo project bloomed on that afternoon
in the hearts and mind of a mother and a daughter

Your love shows through in this post.
Love your photos, elk.
The plant you asked about...it is a succulent called “Kalanchoe digremontiana,” sometimes called “Maternity Plant,” “Pregnant Plant” or “Mother of Thousands.” When it blooms it makes a very tall stem of pretty pink flowers
Hi ELK,
Magnificent! that's what I can say.
have a nice day ELk.

Hi, elk...these shots are fantastic... That orange trumpet vine in the light gives a great fiery glow...like a little soul fire. :o) Happy Day!
A good symbiosis of text and pictures.
I love these shots ELK, wonderful 'accident' that your daughter is not in focus. Beautiful sentiments reflect the blessed relationship you two have.

Love your choice of DoF for the images of your daughter; provides a "misty," emotional view of the story.
I love it when mothers/children share interests and hobbies.
Wow. This is really wonderful. I love shots like this, something going on in the background, a story being told. Very, very nice!

That is a precious moment. I understand the misty eyes. These images are perfect.
I love watching my oldest when he doesn't know I'm looking. A flood of feelings comes over you, right? :)
Such a great moment!! :) I love how photos help to save those moments when we are seeing the ones we love.
I know the misty eyes syndrome .... the camera here is somehow able to translate that very well :)
Those are so sweet. I like the look of them a lot.
And now catching up on your photos. So much eye candy in one place! So many lovelies. Love it when ordinary objects are captured so creatively.
Real treasures for the memory.
i love that yours are blurry - as if really what you saw through your misty eyes. special moment indeed and written about with such love.
What a lovely lovely sentiment you have expressed.
like mother, like daughter....
completely sweet :)
very cool. such a wonderful moment captured!
the blurry adds an element of mystery and prompts you to wonder a little bit about what she was thinking and focusing on.
lovely!! I especially like the flare. :-)
So cool.
Very touching.
I love the photo of the flowers - they look transparent with the sun shining from behind.
Beautiful capture...
Love your choice of focal points. Wonderful series!!
That is so sweet! I love the way photography has a way of allowing people to connect artistically. What a more precious connection than that of a mother and child. :O) Look forward to seeing more!!
your beautiful creative genes have been passed down to your daughter. I hope one day my daughter want to do a photo project with me.
I cannot tell you how much I love this , the post, the photos, the moment. Awesome!
I adore the ones of your daughter, especially the second one -- gorgeous:)
Such beauty you captured too....
What a wonderful picture story:)
Wonderful! I love how your photos are focused on the vines with your daughter out of focus in the background...serendipity? Beautiful! ...and I love that you paired your photos with hers...
Oh wow! Great photos of an awesome moment!
life is bursting through your lens. stunning!

I love the relationship I can see that you have with your daughter. I look forward to enjoying my young adult daughter as much as you do. No rush though. Really, it goes too fast as it is.
awesome!
i love the blurred ones! i've noticed this recently, and am not so quick to throw out the ones where my camera focus' (they have minds of their own, sometimes) on something I don't see... nice job.:)
"with misty eyes" i bet!
XO
