Photography by Gina Lambert
Mom and I went to the cemetery yesterday and I took my camera to get a photo of the new flowers she had placed there. My breath caught when I realized that the light from the door had reflected the image of a cross on the marble of the vaults. Dad’s is the vault with the red, white and blue flowers and the American flag on the upper right.
And I caught my breath again when I realized I had captured mom’s reflection in the light.

A neighbor found this flower and gave it to my husband knowing that I would want to photograph it. It’s a Maypop and it’s a favorite of bees and butterflies.

This week we are asked to share a photo of our interpretation of “transient”.
Clouds come and go as do the waves. The beach is forever transient, ever changing and always a new source of inspiration.
From dark to light, always reminding us how small we are in this thing called life.

This week we are asked to share a photo that says “focus” to us.
A visit to Huntington Beach State Park always provides fantastic opportunities to catch the shore birds in action. This particular visit was no exception.
An anhinga posed for me while perched on oyster shells until he was startled by other visitors walking on the causeway.
He took off as I desperately tried to adjust my camera speed to capture the moment – to no avail.
I watched him fly away into the sunset – before I could get the perfect “focus”.

This week we are asked to share our view on order, whether literal, figurative, or anything in between.
“Order” isn’t as important for me as it once was. Years ago clothes were folded nicely in the dresser, shoes were lined up in the closet, dishes washed immediately and the bed was always made. Now my undies are carelessly tossed in the dresser, my flip flops are always by the back door and bowls and spoons from last night’s ice cream will sit in the sink overnight. The bed is still made every day though – that was my dad’s one pet peeve. If he saw your bed unmade, he would insist you make it – even if it was only 30 minutes until bedtime.
Symmetry is a different story. There’s something about the evenness and balance that appeals to me. Symmetry is calm. Symmetry is peace. Symmetry is serenity. Symmetry calls to me and I follow.

It’s been raining here for days so I’ve picked some photos of foxgloves I took a few months ago.
I love the fountains in the background….
…and the colors were absolutely beautiful.

This week we are asked to share an image of a “friend”.
You’ll find pineapples in most southern homes. This is a cross stitch I did years ago and it hangs at our back door. No one uses our front door!
Pineapple Fountain, Charleston, SC
The pineapple symbolizes hospitality and early travelers knew they would be welcome if a pineapple was placed outside the village or home. A festive meal would be prepared for the traveler and the pineapple would serve as the centerpiece for the table and would later be eaten for dessert.
Charleston was twice voted as the Friendliest City in the US by Conde Nast Magazine. Come and visit Charleston and you’ll see why.

This week we are asked to show a moment in time.
Management hired a bus recently to take us to a regional meeting and dinner two hours away. We had a great time travelling together and laughed most of the way. And of course, I took some photos.
Brief moments as we passed by
“X” marks the spot.

These pink tulips were a Mother’s Day gift from my daughter. They’ve opened up beautifully and I love the way the light shines through them.
