To all of you mothers out there who visit my blog, whether or not you celebrate Mother's Day on this particular date that America set aside for it or not, whether you still have a mother to share these with or not any longer, I wish you the best for this day.
A bit of history from my personal perspective: it was designated as such back in 1914 to fall on the second Sunday in May. That happened to be the 10th. The reason I will always know that as long as I can still keep track of any kind of a date is that a particular woman, Jane Elizabeth Maxson, gave birth for the 7th (?) time on that particular day... to my father, John Dufty Maxson. It just happens that once again it rolls around to the tenth of May.
I thought I'd send you all, whether you celebrate or not, whether you be mothers or not, some flowers, all of which have meaning to me, since at one time or another I had a hand in planting or growing them, and of course in shooting each picture.
May these give you as much pleasure as they have to me over the years... and still do, thanks to a camera. I don't still live in all the places these were shot. But I can carry these around with me wherever I go, and share with whomever can appreciate them. The critters some of them come with today are long since dust, but still yours - and mine - to find.
