Dotee made this very beautiful altered book for me. The pages are rich in texture and colour, and resound with her love and care. The rail top was not wet when I took these pictures, but the droplets hanging beneath will show how eager I was to get out and photograph this treasure for you.
The tallest people on camp (not), but definitely two big hearts, my dear friend
Dawn and my new friend Jacky.
This is my sweet and kind friend, who drove me all the way from home to camp and back. I am so glad that we got to share this experience and get to know each other a little better.
Dotee and I, not a perfect photo of either of us, but I think it shows how happy we were to spend time together and the joy we share as friends.
And this is a precious gift too. I fell to my bottom in front of these bikes and snapped them quickly - a little self conscious and yet determined. Determined to capture the innocence of country kids in a fairly safe country. Where were the riders? I do not know - they were not within sight and yet they felt safe leaving their bikes.
