Take a Word - Album


I know I have used the main photo in a past challenge but both photos are favourite ones of my Father in his beloved garden.  I just love the old clothes, braces holding up his trousers, his old pullover and hat and last but not least, his pipe!
The sweet young girl (LOL) in white ankle socks 'lurking' in the background is yours truly!

    Judy, I love the way you have used your precious photos and the gorgeous open book effect. It brings back memories of my father who spent most of his spare time and then he retirement in his large vegetable garden from which he kept a large extended family in fresh vegetables.
    I love the image of you skulking in the background.
    Beautiful work.
