There were a number of other people whom I would love to have snapped but did not do so because I was not too sure what their reaction would be.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263007313406321299.post-6396904596398002952012-04-29T02:32:56.339-07:002012-04-29T02:32:56.339-07:00Thank you for this inspiring posting.

Those women very generous, letting you take pictures of them, no?

Sometimes I think there is an expectation that "serious" art is dark, in all senses, at least around here.
