Her name was Donna. It means Lady and it suited her. She was a kind gentle soul. She was only in my life for a short time but I treasure my memories of that time.
We used to go walking at Pine Banks or Breakheart Reservation with a camera slung over our shoulders. We were never in a hurry. We might stop and sit on a bench beside a pond watching the antics of the wildlife through the camera lens, until that magic moment when it was time to press the shutter.
Not many of my friends possess that kind of patience. They have many other attributes I treasure but the ability to do nothing but watch in silence is special.
