That is such a beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteWhat was amazing Cherie, is that there was just this little group of eight and no others.
ReplyDeleteWow! that is amazing what a great find :-)
ReplyDeleteMind 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.
ReplyDeleteIt was just luck that I was there to see the eight.
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 ...
