.207 day 184

why i love these photos:

1. same flower

(but)

2. only one of them was taken today. 

(and)

3. both were taken in two completely different places. 

(and yet)

4. the lighting is almost identical.



this flower was a gift of gratitude from a stranger i met while walking the other day. a tiny ball of open cheerfulness, made more pronounced from the beer she admitted to drinking (she's supposed to be quitting), the magnetism of her energy was undeniable. a late forties, to early fifties, sagittarius, full of love, laughter and seemingly pointless banter, we became instant stranger friends. she complimented the coat and hipster white glasses i wore, as we passed each other, and i turned and complimented her awesome hair color. all which led to us beginning a random conversation, which led to me giving her my white glasses, which led to her giving me this flower, which led to a hug that was needed by us both. 

she took a picture of me to store in her phone, along with my number, and i did the same, vowing to keep in touch in the realest ways...

(but, we're two sagittarius, so...we'll see)
