Contrasts in Interests

Visiting two of my granddaughters

yesterday was enjoyable.

The younger of the two

has had an interest

in frogs (and tadpoles), lizards, snakes 

and other animals

from childhood.

Her Poppy and I 

had seen an abundance 

of garter snakes

around our home in the country,

but when we tried to

capture one for her to take home,

nary a one could be found!

Subsequently, some years later, 

her boyfriend

bought her a bearded dragon

as a gift.

I had not seen the lizard 

for 3 or 4 years.

Here 'she' is...

Her sister, on the other hand,

has become 

an avid gardener.

The yard has 

a plethora of gorgeous blooms

of a variety of plants and flowers.

Along with savoring

the sight of these lovelies,

I also encountered 

some previously unknown

flowers. 

What a delight it was to

spend time 

with these two loving 

and lovely ladies!
