And yet now she's famous... (well... you get my point). I was already struggling with the ethics of taking a picture of a witch-hazle in somebody's front garden. People can get possessive of their plants....
I wonder if she would have a legal foot to stand on. Suppose she had verbally asked you not to post her picture up? Some tribes believe taking a photo of them is bad for their soul, after all....
Let's send the lady some positive vibes and thank her for her contribution to your great thought-provoking post!
