Sit on the sidelines

Or be part of the beauty

The choice is your own

Photograph by my son, Nick Verron. He saw this shot when out alone in his wheelchair. He stopped and, unable to cross the grass in his chair or walk to the bench, crawled across the field to get there. Because he was prepared to leave his dignity and inhibitions behind and crawl, he saw something most of us would not have seen. This is one of my favourite images amongst the many he has taken.

  3. My goodness, Sue. Everything about that photo; how it was taken, the reason it was taken, (and the haiku) is beautiful.
