Description
In the summer of 2013, I had the privilege of being invited to join the advanced photography class from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, on their "Shooting Seattle" class/trip. One of the highlights of the trip was shooting at the Bloedel Reserve, an internationally renowned public garden, located on Bainbridge Island.
One of the first stops on the Bloedel Reserve tour is The Meadow. As I looked across the expanse of head-high grass, I saw a young couple just ahead. They had stopped so that the young man could take a photo of the young woman. I couldn't resist taking a photo of this young man taking a photo of his lady friend and here is the result.
Later, after finishing the tour, we all met up at the main entry. I found out that both were from Hawaii and were students at Washington University. He had just graduated and she was taking the last class she needed for her undergraduate biology degree with a plan on entering medical school. I never mentioned the photo to them. I wish I had retrieved their contact information and passed a copy of the photo on to them and also taken the opportunity to thank them for this wonderful Photo Op."
Note: For more on the Bloedel Reserve, please visit: http://www.bloedelreserve.org. I highly recommend.

Great moment in time and storytelling, Carol. I love your use of light and shadow ... and color ... though there is not much. You'd think this would work better in monochrome, but you pulled it off with color very well. This shows your vision as an artist and visual story teller. Thanks too for following me, that is kind of you.
