    Botanical Gardens

    May 20, 2023 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    More personal was a surprise visit to a childhood friend of my father, Lia, and her partner Peter. Seeing someone so touched to meet my father, along with learning about someone that is important to him, was a beautiful experience.Read more
