I like this, it should be a happy picture but there is something sad about it. Whatever it is, the flowers aren't helping. Well caught.

Thanks, SATS. No idea why she isn't happier.

She looks like a nurse to me, since she appears to be wearing scrubs. I see her more as thoughtful, pondering a phone text while waiting on a bus or some such. The flowers--are they for her or for someone else, probably a birthday.

Did I just create a scenario, or what? I think I could make this one into a short story; perhaps it’s the old English & lit teacher in me.

I don't think she is sad, more than likely tired after a long day. Perhaps the flowers are to brighten up her home to help her forget some of the days rough patches. She probably works in healthcare. As jaymatt noted she is wearing scrubs. Good time to catch up on missed messages while she waits for her ride home. A great photo to get the thought processes rolling.Love those photos that get me thinking about who, what, when, where, and why.

Very strange, the things she is carrying, a plastic bucket with a foot mat in it, a box of something (seems to be sealed), her cell phone and hand bag, and the two bunches of flowers. Could this have been her last day at this job?

Also her shoes are of interest to me, not tied and well worn.

Good work Voss.

Very good. It's hard to suppress the teacher within.

Another good storyteller at work.

Thanks, Dave. She seems to be tickling people's imagination.
