Finding Home

We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
... to welcome Summer!
I know that common poppies / Klatschmohn (Papaver rhoeas) are not rare, but the location of this finding in our neighbourhood on a small patch of wildflowers next to a major arterial road of Frankfurt really is ;-))

for a peaceful Bokeh Wednesday"!
You can find Gold everywhere in Grand Tetons National Park during the fall season. The most incredible golden colors in autumn are a photographers treasure. Of course I'm referring to colors and not the minerals. I found this area off of a dirt road near Oxbow Bend. (Edited in Lightroom and Topaz)
Finding That Moment? This was one of those moments for me. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be happy. Be kind to others.🙏
The river moved fast and the clouds overhead were changing swiftly but for me the moment was still.
Holy smokes - I look at this after the Monday morning rush and start of the week and I want to go back! I'll close my eyes and dream....for now! :-)
Happy new week all! Hope it is filled with good thoughts and calm waters.
Everyone has second thoughts. Some more often than others. What if we had made different choices? There is no way to go back and try again. There is no way to explore an alternate timeline, a divergent reality, or a parallel universe. As things stand now, we do not have that sort of technology, and may never have. But we do have imagination and we do have reasoning. To the extent that we can, we always want to "investigate" the age old question: "What if?"

The family is our refuge and our springboard; nourished on it, we can advance to new horizons. In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

Sometimes finding balance in life is like walking a tight rope. Lean a bit too far one way and everything is lost.
