A beautiful work of art, Gina... the bench surrounded by flowers and brushed by sunlight is lovely and thought provoking! f/l

A beautiful image Gina! l/f/pin

Gina, this beautiful image and your memories make me think back to my first crush on Jane. We were 6, going to get married one day, and drive around in a baby blue MG. Who knows what has happened to her. We have our memories for a purpose I suppose. Now 73, I seem to look back a lot, the future seems so dark.

Very beautiful work, love the lighting - lovely scene! l/f

The capture of colours play is remarkable...

Very well done! L/F

Congratulations RC deWinter!! Your fabulous garden photopainting image, "Bench In Blossom" is featured on the home page of Gardening Perfection FAA, "Liked and Faved" forever!! Your image has captured the "essence" of a resting moment in a beautiful garden setting! Thank you for sharing!!

RC, So poetic, poignant!! Beautiful sentiments, I too am from the south and this story echoes a lot of the young ladies there from this time period. Those I am in touch with have also stumbled, rebelled, and kept going, some still sleep on their own bed of nails, and the first loves each of us had from then still echo through out time. My first love died last October, my husband totally understood my grief and sadness of his passing. I never had much love in my life, so his sustained me through many years until the man who was to be my life mate came along in my late 20's. The photograph also is nostalgic for me, his grandmother had one similar. I am no longer sad but grateful for the love of that young man, who also married several times over the years. Thank you for the good memories, the wonderful story line to go with the photo. Blessings!
