Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: mother

Very pretty flowers from Mom's funeral , I think sent by the Banner family/Riverside Greenhouse. This basket decorated our front porch all last summer, then perished with the frost. A year later it lives on, carrying my mother's memory, in this photo.

Photo taken at Meijer Gardens on Mothers Day, 2000.

Another picture of Mom, to remember her birthday. This was taken in San Diego, perhaps by brother-in-law Bob Johns, around the turn of the century (that phrase still sounds wrong ). She and her sisters had gathered for what they all expected would be their last time in one place.

This is Harriett (Hatti) Dinda on Mother's Day, 2000. Joan and I met Mom, Debbie, & Dick at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, and wandered through the spring flowers and the sculptures (da Vinci's horse had just arrived). A wonderful day, and I took some delightful portraits. Camera: Nikon N90s

Joan, Thelma (Joan's mom), and Joan's brother David. Yvonne was about to join us.

Feeding the children. These are the same baby starlings as in today's black & white ....

Today's Thelma's birthday.

My mother, on Mother's Day in 2000. Mom was born on April 7, 1926; she'd have been 88 today. Taken with a Nikon N90s; scanned from a negative.
