“137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America’s most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed – it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.”

Note: The shallow depth of field resulted in the weeds in the foreground being out of focus.

This photograph was taken Sunday afternoon during a senior portrait session.  The forecast stated sun and clouds but no rain. However, about 10 minutes into the session the skies turned black and a very hard rain shower came through.  Fortunately there was a gazebo that we could take cover under.  As we talked about the senior’s future plans for college and a career, we listened to the rain and watched the geese, who had been honking at us angrily moments before, and the Mallard swim in the rain.  The shower lasted for about 15 minutes before the sun briefly graced us with her presence again.

I’ll be posting some shots from the portrait session on Instagram later this week.  Be sure to follow me on Instagram or at my personal blog: Robyn Graham Photography to see more of my work.

Every day…

“Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.”
