This was perhaps not my best shot today. However, it was my favorite. I chose this photo, because I find yellow flowers to be cheerful. I needed some cheer added to my day. My mother has been on hospice since mid April. She has rapidly declined in the last two days. The end of her earthly life is rapidly approaching. She has lived a good, long life, but seeing my mother made me sad today. The second reason that I chose this photo is that my parents really worked hard until they were able to get yellow evening primroses to bloom in their garden when I was growing up. So....this photo is in my mother's honor.
They are very pretty- and I hope they continue to give you cheer in the midst of your sorrow. It must be extremely difficult to say good-bye to someone you love so much. Both my mother and father went rather quickly although Dad suffered with Parkinson's Disease for many years before it overcame him. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Ooh Daisy , I am so sorry to hear of your sadness -- it is so difficult to accept the inevitable when it is your beloved mother ! A lovely tribute in this beautiful Evening primrose
