"Nostalgia" I:Heart:Faces -

I've entered another "I :heart: faces" photo challenge, and this week's is on nostalgia. I scrolled through several pictures that were very nostalgic, but nothing hit me like this one of a sweet friend, "taking" the outstretched flower from George Washington Carver's hand. It is a bronze statue that stands in the George Washington Carver Garden at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens.

It is like time stands still, for a young girl to see the offered joy in a small blossom by a kindly man, and touches his hand - and smiles into his face. And the years and years of difference don't seem so large or long anymore.
