From Mother’s Day to Her Birthday

For Mother’s Day, our daughter bought Baby’s Breath for Annie. The flowers often accent others and looked kind of lonely in the IKEA TILLBRINGARE pitcher. Molly’s mom has a birthday and roses to fill out the make-shift vase.

I used Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to capture the Featured Image and companion. Vitals for the first: f/1.4, ISO 160, 1/120 sec, 23mm (film equivalent); 11:16 a.m. PDT, today.

Vitals for the other are the same, except for the time: 11:11 a.m. I would like to lay claim that the hat is a birthday present. But that would be a lie. Annie has had that hat for a long time now. The thing happened to be on the table, and I decided to let it stay since this post is all about Annie.

To the weeks-ago Baby’s Breath photo, I applied one of the two “Cool” filters in Microsoft Photos. Today’s shots are straight from the smartphone, and they’re composed as taken.

Happy Birthday, Baby!
