To live in hearts we leave behind

Is not to die.

Our dear friend Horst (*hb19) passed away on May 12th. I dedicate this photo to his sweet memory. We were all delighted by his SKYplay set, and when I went out to shoot something similar in tribute, I chose the heart-shaped leaf of my weeping redbud, and as I held it up to the sky, there was a heart-shaped cloud. That could not have been just a coincidence.

 

Horst was a cherished Flickr friend, always offering his thoughtful, supportive comments to so many of us, and sharing with us the world and family he loved so deeply. My heart goes out to them. May they be comforted in knowing how much Horst was valued here in our Flickr community.

I am honored that this photo won second place in SuperEco's "SKYtastic SKYplay" contest.
