Description

On Our 5 Week Road Trip We Also Had The Great Honor of Meeting Laura Lee Gonzales from BP! She has the most wonderful front, side and backyards. Filled with little sanctuaries that have been lovingly put together. She allowed me to take several photos and I was playing with this one in DDR last night. We loved our visit with her in she and her husbands sweet home and it is a memory I will always cherish! (AND THE COOKIES WERE GOOD TOO!!!)

I'll bet Laura's cookies were as delicious as her gardens are beautiful, Pom. Your composition and selective color make this image so inviting. A lovely tribute to the OTHER Laura!!
