Floral Flowers Roses and Bouquets Photos Garden
It had been a while since I did floral photography. So, I left my house in search of inspiration. There really are not a lot of good places to photograph flowers. A few days later, my folks visited the local Home Depot. I figured that they had flowers. So, I went to photograph that. Most of them were slim pickings. It is the winter season after all. There is not a lot of cute flowers to photograph. Most of the roses were in their dormant states. I still did manage to photograph an interesting rosebush...

Artsy Sister Celebrates Tanabata 2021
Tanabata has become of a little family tradition. Brother person got into celebrating Tanabata with his girlfriend. I ended up joining in the fun, along with my mother. For those not up to date with the fun, Tanabata is known as the Star Festival in Japan. The celestial deities Orihime and Hikoboshi are together at last. They are only allowed to meet up once per year, on the seventh day, of the seventh month of the lunar Calendar.
