248/365 - a flower for fred

Fred Walters is my wife's Grandfather. He would have been 100 years old today. I only met him a few times before he passed away, but he was, as my wife says, "the last true gentleman."

Fred wanted to come back as a hummingbird, if reincarnation was an option. Every time one visits our backyard, our kids cry out, "There's great-grandpa!" I went out into the backyard hoping to catch him cruising by, but settled for this shot of his favorite rose.

As I turned to head back inside, a hummingbird buzzed past me and over the fence. Kinda cool.

Happy Birthday Fred.
