Alms Park, such a treasure in this beautiful city. One side has sweeping views of Lunken and the other follows the curves of the great Ohio River. We arrived on a day the clouds hung low with the crisp Summer sun dodging them like a quick game of peek-a-boo. These five college bound friends laughed their way through a sweltering humidity in a sweet way. Their interactions allowing one to see how genuine their love over one another. Years together turned graduated and headed for college. This bittersweet season hangs between the young girl in a prized twirly dress, catching lighting bugs on the breezes of Summer to a young lady lightly stepping from one side of the door to the other and into a great big world awaiting her greatness! Jean de La Fontaine once said, "Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer" ... I am sure these beauties, though they move beyond these days of friendship, understand their gift in each other and I don't think change, distance or adventure will change that. I wish you beautiful ladies great success in your new endeavor, know that you are amazing and that this is only the beginning of something really beautiful! ~ B
