Today was the Ashland Garden Tour, and Steve and I had a wonderful time visiting 5 beautiful gardens and taking pictures of some of the gorgeous blossoms that I saw. But today was also very special, because one of our friends from our cycling club invited me to display some of my flower photography at her home, which was one of the featured gardens!! Thank you so much, Elaine!! Such a generous offer, I was delighted at the comments that I got about my pictures! After the garden tour, Steve and I went to another friend's home for a sumptuous dinner and great conversation. This lovely phlox blossom was in my friend Sunny & Mike's front yard and its bright and cheery color worked perfectly to express how I felt about today, and to having such dear friends!

I took the dogs out for a walk around the property before dinner and brought along my camera. When I saw this incredible glowing wild pea pod, I forgot everything else and lost myself in its radiating beauty. As I took pictures, I smiled warmly because this peapod represents the strong friendships I have with so many of my dearly loved "pod sisters/pod brothers" here on ipernity. With each of you, I have formed a common bond, each of us seeing eye to eye on so many facets of our photography, the way we think, how we feel, the closeness we feel to one another. To me, we are all connected through this tapestry of images and feelings. I love you all, and I am overjoyed whenever I find another "pea" to add to my "pod"! :D *big hugs and much love to my pod siblings* Augustine Birrell PC, KC (19 January 1850 – 20 November 1933) was an English politician, barrister, academic and author.
