30 maart 2007

Ashamed to say I picked this flower at the cemetary...

The cementary is next to the back entrance of the school, so we walk over it every day.
We've learned the kids to be respectful, to be aware of what place they were walking every day. When they see flowers that have fallen over they always put them back on the grave, or throw away the dead flowers.
It was my daughter that noticed these beautiful daffs, suggesting they would be great to photograph. When I pointed out to her we couldn't really pick a flower from a grave she said, well but these people really don't mind, they know we look after there graves... So the flower came with us (and there were many more left that still had to open up).

I somehow don't think the residents will mind :>)) My aunt always told me if you did something with respect then it was okay !!

THe good thing about daffs is that they still multiply after having their flowers picked :-)
Lovely series.
