Once again all the best to beautiful Bridget and all of you in your lovely family!

(Yes Judy, the twilight in Alaska is same as we have, because my town is located on a latitude between Anchorage and Fairbanks :))

@Leena: Thank you, Leena, for your good wishes.

As for the twilight, we were in Fairbanks for the Summer Solstice and took photos at midnight with NO flash required. Now I can picture what you experience for several months each summer. xx

Judy, you have my prayers for your pending surgery - and I am confident that your extended family will be there for you as well. Bridget is quite lovely for a new graduate: can't imagine looking for work in this economy, but her smile is still beaming! great photo.

21 May 2009 2:02am

@Bill Jennings: Thank you for your prayers, Bill; I greatly appreciate them.
Bridget is such a beautiful person, though I may be a tad biased. :D
As for work, she's heading off to medical school so won't be job-shopping for another seven years.

Bridget has such natural radiant beauty. Every image I have seen of her she is glowing. Perhaps more so in this image on graduation day.
