Fragility by maggiemae

Fragility

With my new knowledge of what to do when the camera can’t focus on the subject using auto, I reinforced my memory by repeating the exercise on a close up with the most beautiful rhododendrons just outside the window!
As sometimes happens, look forward to seeing this shot on the Black - 365 is the only one!
Three Good Things;
1. Remembering from the day before!
2. Another great grandchild has made an entrance - this time in Atlanta. I’ve lost the plot! Now 23 Great Grandchildren!
3. Our NZ Prime Minister, Jacinta Ardern is coping in the World Scene so beautifully! She’s au fait with all sorts of subjects, and also dealing so well with her new baby and breast feeding too! An example!
Those petals are almost transparent! You're putting me to shame with getting to grips with your camera. You have 23 great grandchildren??

@fbailey Well, not me exactly - my husband - he had 5 daughters in a previous marriage!

@maggiemae Wow, you must start your Christmas shopping in January!

Love your picture. It's really beautiful.
.#3 Your Prime Minister featured in our newspaper, together with her baby Neve Te Aroha (a lovely name) and her husband.

I heard about the new baby of course but not heard anything since, thought she might be lying low! I didn't know John had five daughters the first time around....must be hard to keep track! Congrats on new great granddaughter! Beautiful frilly rhoendrons!

Very pretty!

@happypat I have to keep counting them - generally in the middle of the night!

@fbailey Don't give presents out any more = 19 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren - be lucky if they got a Xmas hello!

Such pretty blooms, very pretty on black!

So beautiful on black! Your lovely PM was on television here earlier this week and I was so impressed with her! Congratulations to your country for voting her into office!
September 27th, 2018  
@louannwarren Actually didn't vote for her party but we are impressed by her capablities.

@maggiemae honestly it is so nice to see women leading countries.

OMG, your lot's been very busy in the reproductive department, you'd have to give them numbers. I'm a huge admirer of Jacinta in her own right, and even more in comparison with the pack of whackers we've had as PM in recent years. Talk about the coup capital of the southern hemisphere, you Kiwis put us to shame. Love your photo BTW.

I think you need to visit that great grandchild very soon! Atlanta is only 2 1/2 hours away from me!

Beautiful photo of your rhododendrons and good for you to remember two days in a row

@grammyn We have these ggrandchildren everywhere in the world - except Russia and Africa!
September 28th, 2018  
lovely photo, such delicate petals
September 28th, 2018  
That is so amazing, congratulations on the latest family member. I should imagine you all started very young. It must be very difficult to organise a family outing with so many members. Love your capture of this beautiful flower.
September 28th, 2018  
And to think I was excited to learn we have our fourth great grand on the way! 😊
September 28th, 2018  
twenty-three great-grandchildren??? i hope i will have your zest for life if i ever get to that point. you must have been a very young mother. oh, and a lovely image by the way!
September 28th, 2018  
Very pretty blooms,
September 28th, 2018  
Great capture of these lovely flowers. #2 Wow.

Well remembered. I must take a leaf out of your book and follow through with things I have discovered instead of forgetting them instantly.

@pistache @ludwigsdiana My husband had 5 daughters when I married him and he started at the age of 21!
