Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
that's bursting into life

Een stille tuin in Leiden
70 years ago today, British troops liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany, where around 70,000 people died during the Holocaust.
The scenes that greeted British troops were described by the BBC's Richard Dimbleby, who accompanied them:
“Here, over an acre of ground lay dead and dying people. You could not see which was which. The living lay with their heads against the corpses and around them moved the awful, ghostly procession of emaciated, aimless people, with nothing to do and with no hope of life, unable to move out of your way, unable to look at the terrible sights around them. Babies had been born here, tiny wizened things that could not live. A mother, driven mad, screamed at a British sentry to give her milk for her child, and thrust the tiny mite into his arms, then ran off, crying terribly. He opened the bundle and found the baby had been dead for days. This day at Belsen was the most horrible of my life."
The 15-year-old Anne Frank was among the thousands to die there from typhus, just a few months before the camp was liberated.
40 years ago I too visited the site, whilst working in nearby Hannover. I will never forget!
Apologies for the lack of uploads recently. I'm currently in Finland though so plenty of photos will be uploaded soon!!! This shot was taken the other day on a walk around my boyfriend's hometown, a cute little town in Finland where the majority of people speak Swedish. These Forget-Me-Nots ('förgätmigej' in Swedish) are everywhere and are a favourite of mine :)
There is a sweet, a lovely flower,
Tinged deep with faith’s unchanging hue,
Pure as the ether in its hour
Of loveliest and serenest blue.
The streamlet’s gentle side it seeks,
The silent fount, the shaded grot;
And sweetly to the heart it speaks—
Forget-me-not, forget-me-not.

Many of New Jersey Transit’s ALP-44s are seen sitting on a deadline for scrap. They have been left here for years, forgotten, and rotting away bit by bit.
There's some project I'm supposed to be completing every day. . . but I can't seem to remember. Oh! That's right! School Day photos. I think I missed most of last week. Ooops.
WH - ???
As usual, don't mind the messy hair, please. I just shook it out of the pony tail its been tied up in all day.
One of four different blue flowers spotted in Watts Meadow today (the others were bluebells, green alkanet and speedwell).
Perennial flowers in a Manitoba garden - fiinally! The delicate Forget-Me-Not and the Lemon Globeflower with it's bountiful yellow blooms never fail to cheer me.
Well it has been a while since I've uploaded here. Let's catch up...
My Pentax 67 needs repair so I will probably just shoot with the Hasselblad until further notice. I have 13 rolls on my night stand that need development. No idea when I will send those in. Honestly, I feel like I am falling out of love with photography for some reason. It's hard to describe.

I didn't notice this until I got home, but Dunkel has his head wrapped around wild Forget-Me-Nots. Oh Dunkel.....I will forget you never.
