just inches away from a leaf filled birdbath
are lines of purple in vivid depth
spent blooms reaching to a breezy beat
vintage shovel standing watch over
brittle pods of slender brown
among the red and gray ...and red
we are off to visit a college
as my daughter will be making
that life choice in the next few months
but the garden will be here when we return

and the garden will be a lovely memory of home when she has made her college choice, is away, and is missing her mom.
how beautiful to see you in her.
You are both beautiful! I love your garden, and good luck looking for colleges.
Lovely garden...but what's really beautiful is the two of you :)
Ahhh..you both are so lovely. My daughter is deciding where to go after Graduation in June as well...her heart is overseas...my heart will be very sad. Your photos are so so lovely. My birdbath is full of leaves as well.Happy week to you.
oh what beautiful beautiful beautiful women. the most gorgeous reds of all.
Look at you both...just beautiful!
First, I have to tell you that your new avatar is simply stunning. I love how clearly it shows us your beautiful face. And, oh... Your daughter! The first thing I thought when I saw her was, "NO FAIR!" That was in response to her hair, the color of which I've envied since second grade. My second thought was, "Lucky girl, she looks just like her Momma."
Oh, ELK, this post touches my heart. You and your daughter are so beautiful. That is such a lovely, sweet photo. Good luck on the college visit!
love the photos.. hope she finds another home... can't wait for you to come back! :)
wow.
How very blessed you are to have each other ... and how very beautiful you both are.
this post is eye candy! wow what lovely images. you and your daughter beam in this photo.
Aw she is beautiful like her mum. Gardens are a constant reminder of the beauty in our world - good luck with the college hunt.
What wonderful reds, the leaves and the two beautiful people in the garden. Going to college is such an exciting time for young people shaping their future.
Such fun to see you & your beautiful daughter, Elk! What beauties you both are. :o) You know I've always wished I had red hair... Hope the college visit went well. Big choices ahead. I hope the journey making the choices will be all good. Such lovely photos in this post... I must go back and look again! Happy Week, Elk... Oh, stop by if you get a chance--I'm having a gift giveaway for Thanksgiving week :o) ((HUGS))
Oh you two are beautiful!
Clearly the roots that you have laid down for her will allow her to flourish as brilliantly as your garden has.
Happy, and safe, travels of discovery for you both.

The beauty of mothers and daughters and gardens...

Two beautiful redheads, you look so much alike. College is exciting, how fun for her. Gorgeous photos.

You are very alike, margieandkath is right- and you are both so very beautiful!- this is a special time, a special year- last night we also went grad-suit-shopping for my son- I have never seen my son in a suit (yes, not a hoodie-suit, just a suit...)he is soooo handsome (obviously!!!) I see those wings stretching my dear Elk- don't you?
