homage to a lost flickr friend
Playing around with lenses and light this morning.
Have had this little bear for so long I can't remember when he came to live with us.
The world is full of wonderful traditions, ceremonies, doctrines . . .
I'm blessed with friends from all walks of life and always honor each individual's belief system.
In certain Native American cultures "Zuni Fetishes" are cherished as symbols of protection and good luck.
In this case, the "bear" would represent strength, introspection and the spiritual journey of life.
Zuni fetishes are not manufactured as each carving is a handmade work of art.
Thinking of my dear flickr friend who has just passed on, unexpectedly. We had hoped to visit him in New Mexico some day.
I think Ross would have enjoyed this post. Below I have placed his last upload to flickr.
