F is for Friendship

photo 221
Last week my friend and I had a bit of a disagreement over something pretty trivial and it got a little out of hand. It's partly why I've been a but down in the dumps...so we got together tonight to have a meal and sort things out. I suggested that as today was "F" we should do the shoot together for "friendship" as a way of burying the hatchet! We had a great laugh - took the tripod to a field and and basically messed about - got some great shots of us laughing together ("what do you mean I have to hold your hand...? LOL"). We both liked this one so it's the one that's getting posted! Nothing much else to report for the day - worked from home, started my fitness regime and swam a mile...

@shenay woah - that's too bad. My friends are really important to me - I know you can't always control the outcomes and it's tough when partners come into the picture, but whilst they may come and go (and i've only had a few that have gone forever), they are the people that help shape you one way or another. I could never regret or forget!

It's so sad when people does not understand the power of friendship and love. This photo is really touching; people are different, but even thou, differences are the best teachers. Love it!

A beautiful, beautiful shot! Love your story behind this! I'm so glad you patched things up. Living here, away from my family and friends I realize how important my friends are every day.

Great shot and message! Love this image!

Love this! Yes, friendships are precious and we should feel blessed when we have them. My good friend and I met when we were in 2nd grade, when I moved into her neighborhood. We were in each other's weddings within 2 months of each other, and now, 50 years after we met, we still are fast friends, even though we don't live in the same state. We are going to vacation with them this summer, and your picture inspires me to come up with a creative way to capture the essence of our relationship in a photo while we're together.

Great message and photo. I have one friend that I have known forever. Even though we are miles apart and not in contact for months we are still friends. Close friends are to be treasured. They are gifts from God.

It's a lovely shot and I am so happy you resolved the problem and remain friends. I love the friends God has put in my life - my childhood friends I've known for over 50 years.

Cool pic, but even better to read about your friendship recovering!
posted June 8th, 2011  
Great idea for 'F'.....I have close friends I can count on one hand...the sort of friendships that when you havent spoken for months, you can pick up the phone and take up where you left off. Glad you & your friend made up. :)

So, its 'G' today....anyone got a giraffe I can borrow?!? LOL
posted June 8th, 2011  
@looseimages my oldest friends live in Singapore, Dubai and USA!! That's why the one's I have in the UK are so important to me! love that being able to pick up where you left off - it's a good feeling!

As for the Giraffe...shipping one Parcelforce to ya now! i'm on H today...luckily I'm in a Hotel starting with H tonight. Job's a good'un!

You certainly touched a nerve, good and bad, with your picture here. So glad you've resolved your differences and a picture you two may keep to remind youselves how important you are to each other. I love holding hands with people.......it makes a special connection.
