Now that’s a smart and caring man and it shows through your camera. Hollyhocks were always in my grandmothers gardens…they bring back fond memories. Thank you.
“I reckon so,” to quote the outlaw Josie Wales. Another thing he said to a bounty hunter is “dying ain’t much of a living, boy.”
He did not say “I’m your huckleberry.” That was Doc Holiday.
Ahh! That’s so fantastic. I did take a real liking to this flowers name . Thank you so much Mike. I am delighted!! Would you mind if I share this lovely photo at House of Heart?
My Oma (german for Grandma) had Hollyhock all around her patio and it felt like you were lunching in a pretty secret garden. This is an especially pretty one. Your lighting is perfection. xk
What a nice memory for you. My Oma lived in an apartment in Brooklyn without hollyhocks but with never ending love and affection.
I got lucky with the light. Thank you.
Well, looks good to me, Mike!
