I just returned from vacation and I struggled a bit today getting back in the work groove. I drove around for an hour before I spotted Edward’s red cap against the red fence. I knew immediately that I had found my shot. Adding to that relief was his warm welcome and excitement over being photographed. Not a bad way to ease back into my work week.
