Sit down, let’s chat awhile

Rosemary from Iowa, Survivor July 2008

Rosemary came out to my farm to be photographed in wild flowers, since I learned at our first meeting that she likes flowers and plants.

She even brought a green umbrella for one of the images I had in mind. What a helpful subject! We had the morning newspaper and a hat, but our favorite image was this delightful, approachable expression. It says to me, “Sit down, let’s chat awhile.”

For the full effect I had my husband make us some coffee for Rosemary’s mug which she color coordinated for me with her clothing. Even though you can not actuallly see it in any of the images, it tasted great. He had selected Kona coffee that we bought on our trip to Hawaii.
