In memory of Ginger, fellow Daily Photo community member and passionate Lover of Life:: her gallery:
http://upacreekphotography.smugmug.com/
I posted this photo of the Isle of Palms beach at the end of February and Ginger's reply was this:
"I almost thought that looked like one of mine!!! No wonder, I live here and photograph here..................you were here???? And where are you now?? I could meet you, here, on the beach, where ever.
Where are you? ginger
See even MOM thought it was one of mine."
I considered it the highest praise that Ginger thought one of my photos was hers...
Go gently to the Light...
