Ed Gulley’s Tin Man is the godfather of my Zinnia Garden, so I presented him with this latest beautiful flower of the garden. I do so in honor of Ed Gully, the creator of the tin man and a dear friend who died a couple of years ago.

I will never forget Ed, and the Tin Man, among other things, reminds me of his great spirit, his new life as an artist, and his great soul as a human being. What a good friend he was for me to have.

The bouquet below was brought into the house yesterday, the photo is from my new Leica.
