Riding in the car with Mum…
My mother today: pointing the way, helpful, warm, feisty, generous, well-dressed (don’t leave home without your earrings!), funny, chatty, engaged, optimistic, and with a long-term memory that makes me envious…
This photo was taken the weekend we celebrated her 85th birthday en famille. It’s a new favorite of mine. And my photo-heart connection for May. (With Kat Sloma.)

Such a fabulous shot! A wonderful tribute to your mom and a great photo-heart connection
It is amazing what this photo expresses, without seeing any of her face! I’m glad you got to spend this wonderful milestone with your mother. It sounds like she will be around for many more. Thanks for sharing in the Photo-Heart Connection this month!
Fabulous photo….tells a story instantly, the one you shared and/or the one the viewer creates. Hope that long-term memory is genetic, and there’s no shortage of short term memory either.
How kind of you to say, Toad. That’s what I like about it too. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Oh, that’s so sweet! Thanks muchly.
Really really terrific, Sherry! You can certainly feel your moms passion and exuberance in this shot. Well done, it’s so wonderful to see!!
What a beautiful woman she is! I’d love to meet her.
This is wonderful – a lovely tribute to your mother! I hope someone will say such nice things about me when I’m 85.
Thanks Becs. You’d love her if you met her. I’m delighted I captured something here.
Love this image. What a beautiful, natural shot that makes me feel I know your mum a little bit even though we’ve never met. Great photo heart connection.
So glad it brought good memories to you, Ken. Thank you.

Wonderful Sherry! Your mom looks very stylish with her earrings and her fun glasses.
You can tell she’s smiling even from behind. Radiance!

Love this photo as it stirs memories. My mother too was always dressed well for the occasion, ear rings, a hat and always a colorful dress. Symbolic of the pointing finger, I’ll show you the way. A much appreciated photo, thanks!
This is really lovely, the light, the energy, the smile on her face and yet you can’t see her face, Just lovely.
Will do, Cheryl. Thanks!
