Description
When Rod (RodS here on RR) and Jo got married in 1971, it was predicted by a close family member that they wouldn't last six months. 44 years later they're still going strong.

Fantastic you have composed this image in avery great way !!!
It is marvellous to last that long! A lovely present.
Beautiful dedication....
Breathtakingly Gorgeous Work,
And I'm sure that family member would tell you that they didn't last six months, they lasted forty-four years. I looked at their picture. Rod looks content. Jo looks surprised. That's a beautiful birthday bouquet you've shown us.
Wow!!!!!! Rich and incredibly lovely shot for this dedi!
a big congrats to Rod & Jo! Wonderful dedication to them, Tara! they are blessed to have friends like you.
Beautiful capture.
Oh, so lovely and luscious; a beautiful gift for your friends!!
Stunning flowers with such a rich color... a lovely image for your dedication!
WOOOOW, Tara! This is soooo beautiful! Thank you so much my dear friend! Here comes a big cyber-HUG for you - and give Bill one for both of us! :-D I didn't think anyone could stand me for that long! LOL I just showed this to Jo, and she really loves it! I'm so far behind on everything, I keep running into myself going the other way...... But slowly getting caught up.. :-P
Amazing capture and dedication Tara. Happy anniversary Rod & Jo. God bless.
Beautiful dedication, love it!
your photo of rod and jo (the one you linked us to) is just wonderful. I wholly back Bill's comment that you have to keep doing this, not only because it's a record of the many people you meet on your travels, but because it's a record of their souls. So well put! A wonderful capture of the inner and outer people, with joy, closeness and real unadorned humanity. (Not the kind that's posed, in so many couple shots...but the real kind, the kind from real life, from the soul.) I know enough about how dear your times have been with R and J, from you and from your gallery and from Rod's many comments here, to know how special they are to you. And your story---that some felt they wouldn't last more than 6 months---is wonderful, in light of how long they did last. The shot looks like it's been gently brushed over with the subtlest brush, rendering the flowers slightly painterly, and also fabric-like. It's like a big bouquet of fluffery---not a word, but hey---flower fluffery, burgeoning-out in happiness. Though a dark shot, it has a lot of inner light. And the way the flowers dominate the whole plane is wonderful contrast to so many flower shots where the flowers occupy the center with space around them...like a bouquet that goes on and on. Beautiful work, and filled with the love you have for them, and them for you. Happy birthday Rod and Jo! (Another birthday wish way late, which the recipients will never see!) Beautiful job, Tara---and again, kudos for doing it when your eye was seeing so poorly!
Wonderful and full of beautiful warm red LOVE, Tara. Your albums are a great stimulation to me. Thank you for 'the show', I'm such impressed!!!!!
