That Kind of Guy

My brother was excited to show me

the wild flowers that bloom

in his favorite hunting spots.

So he took me for a walk

with two of my kids.

Because he is that kind of guy.

And let me linger over flowers

for periods of time

that can test

a person's a patience.

We stopped often

for snacks and drinks of water.

We let Gypsy

run off some energy.

He was disappointed there

were not more flowers for me.

Because he is that kind of guy.

I was just pleased to spend time

together

in the quiet

except for an occasional

blue tick coon hound braying.

Happy to be unhurried

with my camera.

Patient.

Eager to share.

Waiting for me.

Carrying E on his shoulders for a while.

Because he is that kind of guy.

* If you'd like to spend some relaxing time with your camera,

trying some new artsy projects, focus on seeking everyday beauty, and be encouraged,
