It was a 6 1/2 hour celebration, including the confirmation ceremony. The cool air of the lakeside eventos where the celebration was held was a relief after the sweltering heat of the church. As you can see, a good time was had by all, including me. I took photos the entire time and this prompt was a perfect time for me use them to tell a story!!!

When I stopped to take a photo of this flower on the way out of my friend’s house, she told me I had taken a photo of this same flower as a bud the last time I visited–which had been perhaps a year before. Obviously, not the exact same flower, but a flower on the same bush. I think it is a hibiscus, but I don’t see the usual stamen and pistils. What do you think?

At the Summer Solstice party I went to yesterday, there was a table full of flowers, wire and ribbons for everyone to make their own Solstice garlands. I was so busy taking photos, I forgot to make one myself. Loved the originality and artistry, so had to show you.
Just a minute, you guys. I can’t find my keys!!!!!

A dress and church shoes didn’t stop this little girl from her steep uphill climb!
For Lost in Translation’s Pick A Word, the words are: ARDENT EXPANSIVE FRAMED LEISURELY STEEP I chose STEEP.
I went out to photograph flowers and discovered that Pasiano has trimmed every single flower off every bush and vine in my front garden. He did not, however, bother to trim off all the dead leaves, so I ended up using the past hour to make a start at that. This is a flower I photographed before the desecration but hadn’t posted yet! I know the rainy season will bring more flowers, but it seems as though the trimming always happens right when everything is its most lush.
