May 29: Mums

This is Memorial Day weekend. For most people, it is a time to get together with friends for a bbq or head over the mountains for the first camping trip of the year. I have a different tradition. My mom & I spend an entire day taking flowers to the gravesights of some of our beloved family members that have passed away. We headed to my favorite flower spot (trader joe's) and filled up a cart with these beautiful white mums (except for Grandma June, who hated mums.... we picked out some pretty pink flowers instead). The windows in my car made a great soft box. so I couldn't resist taking a few frames. This one was taken with my lens baby.
