We were touring a garden near Dornoch, Scotland when this young man spotted me. Or more truthfully he spotted my camera. He wanted me to take his picture. Then he wanted to take a picture with my camera. With his father's permission we spent some time together doing just that. He is a curious and likeable 4 year old. I wanted to combine his portrait with the picture of the grasses he took.
It has taken me quite a while to consider myself a photographer.In my lifetime I have been daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, empty nester, widow, and partner.Never in those years was I a photographer. Frankly, except for family memories, I didn't have time. Some might, and have said that I am stubborn.I prefer determined.When I had time later in my life to learn new skills, I decided to be determined about photography.It has been a Life changing,challenging new skill. I have always seen stories in the world around me,now I have a way to tell them.
