My Mother

[poliphilo]

 My mother is in her mid eighties and has the enthusiasms of a child. She's so bright and cheerful. She owns all these race horses and it's like she's an eight year old who's just discovered ponies. I can't imagine being so near the end of my life and still so enthralled by the business of living.

She's beautiful.

She's beautiful.

She is. And I can see you in her face.

(It's also just a lovely photograph, especially with the overcast light.)

Sometimes you have to go looking for pictures, sometimes- more rarely- they present themselves. This was one of the latter.
