  2. What was amazing Cherie, is that there was just this little group of eight and no others.

  4. Mind you....if you click on the photo it will enlarge and you will notice there are a lot of older heads that have lost their petals.
    It was just luck that I was there to see the eight.

  5. That scene was just waiting for you to snap it. What a gorgeous and poignant tribute - the simplest and best I've yet seen. Sad to see the last of the 'lost generation' is no longer there to bear witness; people have such short memories ...
