130- Watercolor Tulips for my Momma

I took this photo a few days ago with my little marsupial-pocket-camera as I was leaving the Temple. The sun was setting behind the tulips and it was so beautiful. Sadly little m-p-c doesn't do such a good job of metering light as I would like. But that's ok, it gave me a chance to play with some filters.

As I was working on this I thought, "Wouldn't this make a beautiful Mother's Day card?" So here it is, delivered via cyberspace to my Momma who's been gone for 32 years (yesterday). The nice thing is I know that SHE knows how much I love and miss her... and as Cindy says, "The veil is only as thick as we make it." Once again, I am so grateful for eternal families.

That is lovely! Tulips, gerber daisies and iris are my very favorite flowers...

You've just proven why I never throw away a digital shot that I "think" is a dud until I get it into PS and play with it. This is SO beautiful! And YES it could be on a Mother's Day card. I know that your mom received it and loved it.

Love,
Cindy
