Easter Sunday afternoon was a wonderfully impressive day here weather-wise. Not too hot or too cold and the sun shone brightly without a cloud in the sky. In addition, we managed to retrieve Sebastian at the designated pick up spot: 36° North Latitude.
He chose a lovely landing spot right in the middle of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.
He was under the impression that all the folks there had come to welcome him home. As usual, I didn’t have the heart to tell him otherwise.
When no one came up to him to offer congratulations while he was sitting next to the fish pool, I had to tell him that every single one of them was shy.
Then he got distracted by the breathtaking blooms all around and decided on a new project – for me. He said I should photograph a rainbow of flowers which is exactly what I did because I thought it was a very good idea. Here they are:
After traipsing over most of the gardens, we decided it was time to leave. We saw this sundial on our way out and thought the sentiment was very fitting – in so many ways.
Welcome Home Sebastian. I would have cheered if I was there, where you landed. It is so nice to think you came home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteI loved the words on the sundial.
Hugs Granny and Wilbur.
Hi Kays Kids,
DeleteSebastian says Thank you. I do too!
We are all glad he's back.

Well of course they were all there to see him, it's just that he can have a bit of a commanding presence at times, I'm sure that scared people off a bit, plus they had flowers and sundials to distract them...

Hi Prudence,
DeleteI'll pass along your message to Sebastian. He's taking a mid-afternoon nap just now. Easter Greetings to you as well.

They were shy... Sebastian's an intimidating social icon now... people can't just "walk up to him"!!!
ReplyDelete... not without presents, at least.
Hi Heather,
DeleteYou are so right - how could I have missed that obvious fact? Ah, presents. We'll keep that betweeen us for now, okay?
