"looking at her flowers"

My dad e-mailed me this picture today. He does a lot of research about our ancestory and came across it while on his historical quest. I love looking at an old photo and wondering what story it would tell if it could speak. Why did someone choose to capture this particular moment over another?

I've always been a photo-lover but it's only recently that I've learned how valuable those photos are. Sometimes they're they only things that can bring us back to moments that we want to re-live and cherish forever.
