GARDEN PARTY




Gather a group of talented women writers into a garden with lots of food, wonderful conversation and a lovely day  add a variety of hats--and you have an enjoyable garden party. 
Then ask them all to pose for photos.
 
 
 

 
I wish I had taken many more photos. I had forgotten to bring my camera out to use until after a few people had left.  My mind was so frazzled as this was my first party in many years!
I am sure there will be more gatherings in my backyard haven.
Lisa N. did an amazing job on the front and back yards, and was such a wonderful friend to help me prepare.  I was so discombobulated as not used to this. Thanks Lisa!

    How awesome. I love the brown tone shots!
    I really would have had more fun at this party than where I was that day but am thrilled you remembered your camera eventually. :D

    Rose! how exciting a garden party - and with all female writers! The wonderful photos bespoke of a tremendously successful gathering.
    The sepia photo is brilliant and I adore your floppy hat!

    Golly. Looks like a good time was had by all. Wish I could have been there, but helped Sue all day with her students' annual music recital. Hopefully next year.

    I love the hats! The black and white processing made me think for a minute that this party happened in the 30's. Love it!
    Your photos are beautiful, thanks for sharing.

    Oh...and our Boo is exactly like your Kayla? I have a wand with some ribbons tied on it, and he loves chasing them through the house...and he doesn't even know he is getting exercise.

    I sure wish I could have been there. If only it were possible to clone myself. Then I could have been at the first birthday party I got to spend with my grandson and been able to go to your neat looking party. It would've been a stretch for me to wear a hat, though. I don't wear them as a general rule. :P
