And I think it is great that continue that tradition by inspiring your own children and others as a master gardener. Children are the future caretakers of out planet and it is important that they value nature.

That was the case for my kids, too, as I was fortunate to be a part-time freelance writer until they were in school. Those days exploring nature together are priceless treasures and memories.

You are privileged and you have the birthright. I love most especially that amaryllis photo, oh how i love the lights on it. It inspired me too to try doing the same, because i have that amaryllis at home in the province, haha! thanks.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-3715678662747313472012-04-25T21:16:22.773-04:002012-04-25T21:16:22.773-04:00What a blessing to grow up with such inspiration! ...What a blessing to grow up with such inspiration!

It is always meaningful to me to see how genetics/nurturing have played a role in passions within family members and it's comforting to know that we pass on these loves and that they will live long past our lives. Beautiful post, Karin.

I did not have parents that did either photography or gardening, but we lived on my grandfather's estate and he was great inspiration to me in so many ways. He was from Germany originally and traveled back there to see family often. I only wished he lived long enough to have taken me along one time. <br /><br />Teaching the children is the highest of callings I believe.
