Savta

I was looking through old photos on my computer, searching for images I might have taken of astronomy public tours for our new image gallery. I didn't find many, but I did this little gem:

This was taken on April 11th, 2009, and it's my grandmother, Savta, as seen in the rearview mirror from the back seat of my parents' car. It was her birthday, and she's wearing the beret that I crocheted for her. I don't think I was satisfied with the picture when I took it, which is probably why I didn't post it back then, but I did some judicious cropping, and now I can't stop looking at it. Savta looks like a ghost... Maybe more so because I feel so guilty for not visiting her in such a long time... I should get around to that.
