Thank you, Jeana.
This was taken in a Boston Restaurant right before this booth was filled up by guests at a bridal shower. As usual for my better pics,it just miraculously presented itself. How the background disappeared completely is a mystery to me. I thank my daughter the bridesmaid for the gorgeous color of the tulips. #5431888
