Emerald day

It's my mum and dad's 55th wedding anniversary today. Unfortunately I haven't run to any emeralds for them but I have bought a couple of plants on behalf of one of their northern friends. They are busy getting ready for the family to descend tomorrow so I think I'm safe posting this! Happy Anniversary mum and dad!

Beautiful focus, the Greenland yellow against the blue background, the edit. And congrats to your parents...a bit horrifying to realize you could almost have been my daughter...we'll be having our 50th in 2014!

I agree with Janna Ellen - you should make a print of it, make it into a card or frame it. Just beautiful.
(Strange comments above - I had some like this during my first year, but they came straight to my email and were not posted. Freaky. )
