Youth and old age

I love all stages of Poppies and this one kind of made me smile. Made me think of a little old Grandma with her tall Grandson with bowed head, being given a little bit of advice : ) Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden on August 4th. A beautiful sunny day - lovely to think about, even more so after seeing our weather forecast yesterday, with seven of the next 10 days getting snow (though this can change completely as the hours go by). Can you imagine having heavy snow falling - when you've just been through a devastating 9.0 earthquake, an even more horrific tsunami, have lost some or all family and friends and neighbours, and now have the threat of severe nuclear radiation hanging over your head? And the rest of us (me included!) complain about deep freezes and snow! How lucky so many of us are, with a warm roof over our head, enough food at hand, and no sudden, massive loss of loved ones in our lives!!!
