This week we were prompted by Sally Russick of the Studio Sublime to Reminisce.
Reminisce - to recollect and tell of past experiences.
One thing I love about these prompts is you never know when the photo opportunity will strike. Generally this how it goes ... I ponder Sally's prompt and try to think of something I can photograph and then I am promptly stumped. How am I going to represent the prompt in a photo? Then I let it go. Surely I will find a photo to represent reminisce. The opportunity presented itself the other day as I was walking with my two dogs. Two young teenagers emerged from a driveaway and were walking slightly ahead of me. As I watched them I found myself reminiscing. ***bing, bing, bing***photo opportunity, I was so glad I had my phone on me.

I was watching this young couple. They were so cute. A mosquito was bothering her and he was determined to get it. He gently touched her waist and moved her from the of the middle of the road and guided her to toward the side of road, placing himself closer to the middle of the road. The knight in shining armor. And this is when the reminiscing began. Remember when you were young and free of life's responsibilities. There was plenty of time to hang out with your friends and spend time walking and chatting with your new love. Young love. My husband and I used to be those people. I met him when I was 18. We spent a lot of time hanging out with each other before we got married. Good times.
We still have good times. Life is just fuller now. There are days I long for more of those relaxed, easy going good times. I do my best to squeeze them when I can. It is appropriate that I spent some time reminiscing about young love since my husband and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary this week.
