Last spring, I came home from school one day and we had this amazing patch of violets in our yard, and I dropped everything and plopped Violet in the middle of them for a photo shoot. You can't get anything sweeter than Violet in the violets. So, I decided that would have to become a yearly tradition.
Violet, Spring 2007
Well, it seems that violets the plants don't always cooperate (much like Violet the daughter on some occasions). Instead of huge patches of violets, we had violets sprinkled throughout our lawn, a result, I believe of a grub issue we seem to be having, and the amount of snow and subsequently, salt that we received in greater Big Rapids this year. However, I was not going to be defeated by the whims of nature--no, no, no--we were going to have a picture of Violet in the violets...even if I only had one! So, I marched her out...and....
well, it seems that Violet the daughter and violet the plants, are conspiring against me this year. I managed to get one decent shot of Violet with a few Violet's, and some lovely pictures that are no doubt going to come out at one of her graduations or future visits from boyfriends, just so they know what they are really getting into! And of course, they will always be on this blog, so hopefully, it won't affect her run for public office in future years. But, enjoy them anyway...these are pre-haircut, so her eyes are a little hidden...darn wind! But, isn't it amazing how grown up she is, in just a scant 365 days?!!
