April 17

My Mother and I

I found this photograph yesterday. It brings back happy memory.
I was fortunate to be very close to my parents. My father gave me the hobby of photography and my love of the outdoors.
My mother gave to me my interests in reading, cooking and classical music which I still have today.

Wonderful memories. If only all children had such loving parents. Truthfully, I can't understand how any parent could not want the best for their children.

Walter this classy image has to many unanswered questions. Can you fill us in. W5. We know who, but what, where, when and why could use some attention.
