Happy Graduation! by olivetreeann

Happy Graduation!

We celebrated my niece Anna's graduation from high school today. I thought the balloons looked quite festive against the brick building and I was taking a shot when a gust of wind blew them partially out of the picture. But I liked how it revealed a light through the window and the reflection of the sky- both seemed rather symbolic in regards to the celebration.

Today's platitude also contains some good advice for our graduate to keep in mind as she pursues her studies in higher education this fall:

Actions take less time to come true than wishes.
Love the colors. So happy and exciting. Like the event.

Thank you Cindy, Kerri, Maggie, Hope, Brian, Rick, and Terry! I will pass on your well-wishes to Anna. We're very proud of her and she's excited about attending Gordon Conwell in the fall. Mom and Dad are getting used to the idea that the apartment will be much quieter then!

Beautiful shot. The balloons make this shot more dramatic by being almost out of the shot. Congratulations to your niece, Anna.
