Happy Birthday, Fi!

269/365

Dear Fi, I love that most of your photos have a story behind them. Well, this is the story behind this one:

You see, this photo of yours has always been among my favorites (and you have a lot great ones to choose from!). I already had it in mind for a birthday tribute and when I saw this cute watering can a while ago it was a done deal. But man, I ran into all kinds of obstacles:

1. I don't have a garden.

2. Can't go to the park as it's raining (that would muck up the photo) and flowers are just starting to come out.

3. Couldn't find a potted flower big enough.

The good thing is, I can be pretty stubborn once I have my mind set on something. So I improvised. I may have almost drowned the poor plant and flooded my living room a little in the process but here it is:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear Fi!!! And many, many happy returns. You never cease to inspire me with your creativity and your storytelling and it is such a joy to know you!

PS: I even had my camera on manual settings. Just for you.
