Photographer’s Note: These are just a few of the different flowers in our yard , the beauty of new life, the scent of spring and summer . We tended their fragile roots ,the sprigs and sprouts bought and gifted to us through the years. The new shoots that were given to me by my brothers remind me of their faces and laughter we shared. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine the life in the dried stems and the leaves that have fallen to the ground.
