Graduation Blues (v 2)

Uploaded: September 22, 2005

Description

You may remember this from when I submitted the original in May/June. So many friends told me I HAD to submit it into the Education theme contest - so I have adapted it a bit and here it is! It was so hard to capture. It was my idea to have a 'hats in the air' photo and eventually I persuaded them and the professional photographer to do it. Funnily, the school liked mine so much they asked to put it on the home page of the school website! Well I guess it is Education! My daughter Ceri who features in this image has now been deposited at University yesterday!

Dear friends - many thanks for your overwhelming comments on my red flower image. Got back too late and tired last night to do comments and have to rush this morning to work (I just want to sleep after all the driving and the emotional upheaval of depositing Ceri alone in a strange room in a strange city!) Many thanks to those of you who wished her well - I will pass you wishes on to her. (She already rang me this morning - another reason a I am late!). Look forward to catching up with you all later today.
