A pickle at the pool.

 

On Saturday LoLo and I were in the kitchen making sammies.

Upon opening the fridge and seeing a jar with a lone pickle in it, she declared: “That pickle looks amazing. I must photograph it”

She grabbed the jar and headed outside.

I didn’t even ask….and that’s what makes me a ‘Mother of the year’ candidate. 

Thus started a photo session with my big ol’ camera.

Behold.

Le’ lone pickle.

I suppose a good story teller would start this with: Well, there was this lonely pickle sitting by the pool…

Sadly, that will be the end of the pickle part of the story;  for then the photographer was distracted by other beautiful things.

Gorgeous Florida sky.

Beautiful Geranium baby buds.
