Actually, blooming is something which happens before fertilization.
A beautiful photo. I'd go to the event if it wasn't exclusionary.
Haha, cute! I guess that's one difference between flowers and humans. But when a woman has a "blossoming belly" before she gets pregnant, she's generally not so happy about it!
As for the art show, I just called the Women's Centre for clarification and you're right, Andrew, that it is going to be for women only because the Women's Centre space is for women only. That's something I actually wasn't aware of.
We'll have to get Melissa to see if she can do another art show at a more public venue down the road.
Hi Andrew,
If you are interested in seeing the photography show I'd be happy to meet you there some evening so that you would be able to.
Melissa
