Grape Hyacinth

Yesterday afternoon I had to drop Keira off at our church for a Youth Group function and I noticed these sweet grape hyacinths growing in the church's flower bed.  This evening after I dropped the kids off for Youth Group and Bible Quizzing I grabbed my camera to capture the cuties.  The sun was setting and hitting the flower bed just right.  I knelt down and snapped a few photos.  One of the ladies from church saw me and wondered what I was doing.  When I popped my head up from snapping the last photo, she commented that she thought I was praying.  We both laughed.  Not that I don't pray, mind you, because I do.  I just don't typically drop to my knees in the church's yard to do it.  :)

Right after that a gentleman from my church also commented about what I was doing.  No one was upset with me, just curious.  I told him that if I were at home I would have laid down on my belly to photograph the flowers.  But since I was at the church and there were people all around, I thought it best to just kneel.  He likes photography also and told me a few stories of some strange positions he's been in to get that "perfect shot" and a few shots he's missed due to circumstances.  He understood.  I enjoy talking to people who get it.  That doesn't happen often.  :)
