I finally got a moment to take some pictures. The skies where overcast and that never happens here so I thought I would take advantage! There was a concept I had in mind but those didn't come out as I had imagined but I got this and I liked it. I may work on the other but for now this is what I have :-)

I am leaving this weekend to go back home.. it is so bitter sweet because I get to go home to see my family but I am going to be heartbroken when I leave...

I hope everyone has the most wonderful weekend and be most grateful for life because you just never know.

The world's still broken since he left me.

I've quit my job and I'm moving back to my hometown. I have mixed feelings about it. But hopefully I can spend more time doing what I love - working on my art.

Honey Dew's condition kept getting worse after her seizure. She was the perfect dog for us and we had two wonderful years with her. Unfortunately, things can happen to older dogs suddenly. Heartbroken, but happy she didn't face any pain or fear at the end.

Where's our beloved Sandra [westie4us] go!? All her photos are gone!

I'm in tears and heartbroken!!!

I've moved this forward because she died today 13/03/10.

Heartbroken :(

...is not a bad thing...

sometimes, in order to move on and be happy again, we must learn to let go of that something or that someone we've been trying to hold on to for the longest time... *big hugs* to those who are hurting or trying to let go of... i know you can do it! ^^ xoxoxo :)

My dear friend lost her faithful boxer, Anne this week. Anne was 13 years old and went quickly. My friend has been totally heartbroken with grief. Her wonderful husband brought home this beautiful, 8 week old little girl, who they have named Skye. He is hoping to speed up the healing of her broken heart with this little bundle of joy.

Puppies touch everyone's heart including Explore! Thank you so much,.

Whether you're a long-haul trucker, a heartbroken drifter, or just too cheap for a motel, sleeping in your truck is a time-honored tradition for road-weary souls. I've found that Walmart lots are the best--just park next to the RV's and look harmless. It's also good if you master the art of the "seat angle" repose which exists somewhere between almost comfortable and still regretting life. Just ask Somewhereville long haul trucker Clem Dieselman--he looks peaceful.

Llanddwyn Island is named after St Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Legend has it that she was spurned by a prince and retreated heartbroken to the island. There she was granted three wishes, and asked to be given the power to grant the wishes of true lovers.

Just... love for the victims, love for their families, love for LGBTIQ+ people and Latinxs everywhere who live with this hate every day, and love for the many kind and innocent Muslims (or people who "look" Muslim) who will further be singled out and targeted as terrorists due to this. I'm too heartbroken to think of much else to say.

some things we can do to help

One of the main reasons I enjoy using flickr is the fact that I have "met" a lot of really cool people on here. A while back I commented on a contact's photostream that I had a short, failed relationship with an Olympus XA. We parted ways, and I remained slightly bitter and somewhat heartbroken.

Joe read my comment, and out of the kindness of his heart (and as a total surprise to me), he mailed me this little XA. This is the kind of action that restores my faith in the human race. Aside from being a cool cat, he also shoots some great photos. Do yourself a favor and check out his stream...

About two to three years ago I lost my baby, my best friend, my two year old German shepherd Dakota to cancer. I was so heartbroken that I thought that I would never get another dog until I saw this 4 year old cutie name chewy. I must say that she is smart and obedient...But she can be one stubborn little girl, and can ignore you like nobodies business..lol..love my little big girl 🐕 💕💕💕

After eighteen years of marriage and twenty years together, my wife and I have filed for divorce. I never thought that two people could part ways and remain friends, but we are both trying very hard to do just that. There are no ongoing dramatic fights, just two people who changed but didn't change together. If there's something I have learned it's that you can only be in a one-sided relationship for so long. Relationships take work, and if both people are not in it or contributing after so long, it's best to move forward- even if it is apart from one another.

I am sad. I am heartbroken. But I at the same time I am also hopeful, believing in love still, believing that there is that sunshine in the future. I have not been myself for a while and this is why... but I believe that in the coming year I will find that side of Chris again, and find that joy in my life. The hardest thing for me will never getting to see her again, but if we can stay relative and stay friends in each others' lives- I'll take that.

Let Go

Dropped from explore.. But hey, it still made it ;-)

you and me were meant to be a little lower than angels.

i'm guilty

i'm heartbroken

i'm helpless

please please please view here.

This game's been out a year and just got into Cinematic Tools/Reshade and modding for DAI for the first time. I've already gone through several playthroughs and now i'm replaying again because I missed it. First time really playing as a HF (always played EF and was soooo heartbroken by Solas omg)

Default skin/brow textures because Black Emporium is essential to me (and I forgot which slots the mods are at ...).

near Narbonne, France

used texture from Skeletal Mess, thank you

poem by Bev - a big Thanks !

and when the dawn broke, you could hear the talk

it happened each year , and always the fear

of why should this be, her soul is not free

she had lived in these parts , had known no other

she was betrayed, ran afraid, as he tried to smoother

her shouts and screams, her heartbroken dreams

to the barn she ran ... you could hear her screams

then silence ~ but sighs in the wind ...

is watch you walk away and not be able to run after you.

Today was so hard - so so so so so freaking hard. And I'm going to completely vomit up all my feelings into this description and be a complete girl and over emotional because right now I really need to get it all out because I'm so heartbroken and I just don't know what to do with myself. I really just don't know what to do with myself. I'm just sat here, I could shower but I don't have the energy or drive to get up and stand there in the water, I don't have the motivation to walk into the town or just go downstairs and get something to eat. My love is gone. I had to stand there while he went up the escalator and watch him leave, I was crying so hard behind him. In the car home I couldn't think straight, it feels like I've lost part of my mind, like part of me is missing - all of his things are gone from my room, and I've been searching for something to remind me that it wasn't all a dream. I have no idea what to do from here. I need my Aaron back. I'm hurting so hard!!! And its not just missing being able to see him and touch him and talk to him, I miss being able to turn to him and just knowing he is at most a few meters away from me. This is so hard. I had no idea how hard this was going to be. I guess it doesn't really help that I have Damien rice on repeat. My mind is so twisted right now, i feel like all my insides have been tied up in knots and my bones have been replaced with paper, I feel so weak

I've never needed someone so much in all my life, and I'm not a needy person - I love being alone so much I purposely isolate myself a lot of the time, but now I've felt what its like to be loved and be part of something other than myself I feel so helpless. I've never been loved so unconditionally like Aaron loves me - he is the most amazing person on this earth, ever to have lived - he is my world, he is my life and he is everything to me, without him i'm not even just a mess, i'm a purposeless mess. Like now, i'm just sat here doing nothing but crying and sniffing really loudly, and it really hurts. This is so freaking hard. I need you :(

Come back :(

106/365

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This

romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his

girl.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his

future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until

one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come

back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the

both of them, so they went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he

worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make

something out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had

set up his own company ...

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy

was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain

walk ing to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still

drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's

parents.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the

couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them

to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car,

condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was

walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and

followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as

ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right

beside her...

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They

explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with

cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not

want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you wa nt them to,

doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted

her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day

comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those

back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may

escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting

right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her

ever again.........hope you understand.

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to

you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you

thought meant nothing to you.

Love you daddy...

I'll See You Again by Westlife

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQd6xyL_Yak

From your daughter Carmen ~

Daddy,

Thank You for your love of family and others. It is something I will cherish. I will go forward and lead with love and compassion for others as you did.

June 11, 2023 is a day etched in my heart.

I cry often…because I can’t seem to accept you are not physically with us anymore.

One thing is certain…spiritually you are with us.

That is a great comfort to know.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A memory for me and my dad that I’ll always cherish was when I was around fourteen years old. One day, I just said out loud, to the airwaves, not to anyone specific, “I would love to play guitar”. Apparently, I didn’t know it, but my dad overheard me. That Christmas, my dad surprised me with a guitar. I was so happy, words couldn’t express. My dad knew how to play guitar and taught me the basics. Playing guitar was not only a great pastime for me, but playing my guitar made me happier when I was happy and it pulled me out of sadness if I was sad. My day started by playing guitar…literally…I would get up out of bed, pick up my guitar and play songs. I learned how to play guitar quickly. As a result, I sang and played guitar in high school concerts, at mass in church and then progressed to wedding ceremonies. I’ve met so many people through music. The musical path in my life was definitely one I will never forget. I was so blessed to have been able to share music with others.

Couple of days ago, a day after I took this photograph, I was walking towards tube station when a sudden, acute pain froze me, i felt the muscle popping, something broke. I screamed in the crowd. My calf muscle was torn and spent the night at the emergencies. The pain... the inner side of my left calf... the inner side... the left side... the muscle being torn. Muscle... inner... left... torn... heartbroken.

Back story to this photo, I'm house sitting for my friends, The First day I got there, I looked around for one of there cats and couldn't find her, I was so heartbroken, Intill one night there other cat look up at the window and there she was. Baby came back home after 10 days. The cats might not be mine, But I love those cats like family. Thank you to B(U)Y Me Poses for making this amazing backdrop.

Today my parents had to put their dog to sleep. Such a good boy. Heartbroken.

and just a little heartbroken...

Sometimes it just collapses around your ears.

I guess that's a grieving thing.

You promised me you'd never leave me

You lied

Initially, for this photo I didn't have the heart on my hand. I had my tripod all set up and the camera's self-timer set and would run behind the shower to get the shot. But after reviewing the pictures, I thought it looked too plain. So, I drew a heart on my hand and did it all over again. =] This is what turned out.

WHO THE HELL I AM?

For the record, this photograph is pure fiction. I am not heartbroken, nor am I getting drunk on bourbon and smoking cigarettes.

Several versions of the myth have survived from ancient sources. The classic version is by Ovid, found in book 3 of his Metamorphoses (completed 8 AD); this is the story of Narcissus and Echo. One day Narcissus was walking in the woods when Echo, an Oread (mountain nymph) saw him, fell deeply in love, and followed him. Narcissus sensed he was being followed and shouted "Who's there?". Echo repeated "Who's there?". She eventually revealed her identity and attempted to embrace him. He stepped away and told her to leave him alone. She was heartbroken and spent the rest of her life in lonely glens until nothing but an echo sound remained of her. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, learned of this story and decided to punish Narcissus. She lured him to a pool where he saw his own reflection. He didn't realize it was only an image and fell in love with it. He eventually recognized that his love could not be reciprocated and committed suicide.

An earlier version ascribed to the poet Parthenius of Nicaea, composed around 50 BC, was recently rediscovered among the Oxyrhynchus papyri at Oxford.Like Ovid's version, it ends with Narcissus committing suicide. A version by Conon, a contemporary of Ovid, also ends in suicide (Narrations, 24). In it, a young man named Aminias fell in love with Narcissus, who had already spurned his male suitors. Narcissus also spurned him and gave him a sword. Aminias committed suicide at Narcissus's doorstep. He had prayed to the gods to give Narcissus a lesson for all the pain he provoked. Narcissus walked by a pool of water and decided to drink some. He saw his reflection, became entranced by it, and killed himself because he could not have his object of desire.[3] A century later the travel writer Pausanias recorded a novel variant of the story, in which Narcissus falls in love with his twin sister rather than himself (Guide to Greece, 9.31.7).

Influence on culture

Тhe myth of Narcissus has inspired artists for at least two thousand years, even before the Roman poet Ovid featured a version in book III of his Metamorphoses. This was followed in more recent centuries by other poets (e.g. Keats and Alfred Edward Housman) and painters (Caravaggio, Poussin, Turner, Dalí (see Metamorphosis of Narcissus), and Waterhouse).

Narcissus in literature : Narcissus by Gyula Benczúr In Stendhal's novel Le Rouge et le Noir (1830), there is a classic narcissist in the character of Mathilde. Says Prince Korasoff to Julien Sorel, the protagonist, with respect to his beloved girl:She looks at herself instead of looking at you, and so doesn't know you.During the two or three little outbursts of passion she has allowed herself in your favor, she has, by a great effort of imagination, seen in you the hero of her dreams, and not yourself as you really are.(Page 401, 1953 Penguin Edition, trans. Margaret R.B. Shaw).The myth had a decided influence on English Victorian homoerotic culture, via André Gide's study of the myth, Le Traité du Narcisse ('The Treatise of the Narcissus', 1891), and the only novel by Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist also starts with a story about Narcissus, found (we are told) by the alchemist in a book brought by someone in the caravan. The alchemist's (and Coelho's) source was very probably Hesketh Pearson's The Life of Oscar Wilde (1946) in which this story is recorded (Penguin edition, p. 217) as one of Wilde's inspired inventions. This version of the Narcissus story is based on Wilde's "The Disciple" from his "Poems in Prose (Wilde) ".Author and poet Rainer Maria Rilke visits the character and symbolism of Narcissus in several of his poems.Seamus Heaney references Narcissus in his poem "Personal Helicon" from his first collection "Death of a Naturalist":

"To stare, big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring

Is beneath all adult dignity."In Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series, Narcissus appears as a minor antagonist in the third book The Mark of Athena.In the fantasy series Harry Potter, Narcissa Malfoy, a minor antagonist, is named for Narcissus.William Faulkner's character "Narcissa" in Sanctuary, sister of Horace Benbow, was also named after Narcissus. Throughout the novel, she allows the arrogant, pompous pressures of high-class society to overrule the unconditional love that she should have for her brother.Hermann Hesse's character "Narcissus" in "Narcissus and Goldmund" shares several of mythical Narcissus' traits, although his narcissism is based on his intellect rather than his physical beauty.A. E. Housman refers to the 'Greek Lad', Narcissus, in his poem Look not in my Eyes from A Shropshire Lad set to music by several English composers including George Butterworth. At the end of the poem stands a jonquil, a variety of daffodil, Narcissus Jonquilla, which like Narcissus looks sadly down into the water.Herman Melville references the myth of Narcissus in his novel Moby-Dick, in which Ishmael explains the myth as "the key to it all," referring to the greater theme of finding the essence of Truth through the physical world.On Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen's A Fada Oriana, the eponymous protagonist is punished with mortality for abandoning her duties in order to stare at herself in the surface of a river.

Narcissus on film

In the TV series Boardwalk Empire, a Dr. Narcisse (Valentin Narcisse) is introduced as a condescending intellectual.

Scottish-Canadian animator Norman McLaren finished his career with a short film named Narcissus, re-telling the Greek legend through ballet.Narcissus appears in the Disney adaptation of Hercules. In the film, he is portrayed as an Olympian god with purple skin.In the film Bab'Aziz, directed by Nacer Khemir, a Narcissus like character was portrayed by an ancient prince who sat by a pond for days after days and looked at the reflection of his own soul. He was referred to as 'The prince who contemplated his soul'.Pink Narcissus is an artistic film by James Bidgood about the fantasies of a hustler.The escape craft Ripley boards in the 1979 Ridley Scott film Alien is called the Narcissus.In the 2011 film Seeing Heaven, Narcissus is depicted in a painting - the character of the film also replicates the myth of Narcissus gazing at his own reflection. The film delves deeply into the main character (Paul) and the theme is loosely based on the myth of Narcissus, as all who look at Paul are transfixed by his beauty - just as all those who gazed upon Narcissus were transifixed with his beauty.

In music

National Medal Of Arts recipient Morten Lauridsen wrote a choral work entitled "Dirait-on" based on the poem by Rainer Maria Rilke."Supper's Ready" by Genesis (ca. 1972), a near-23-minute epic song laden with religious and mythological imagery, refers to the myth of Narcissus as follows: A young figure sits still by the pool / He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool / (He is you) / Social Security took care of this lad. / We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. / A flower?. The movement is titled "How Dare I Be So Beautiful?".American rock band Tool made a subtle reference in their song "Reflection" from their third studio album Lateralus. Not only is the whole song a metaphor of the myth, but it also makes an explicit reference: And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt/ Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism/ I must crucify the ego before it's far too late/ I pray the light lifts me out. The song combines elements of self-analysis and finding the right path, versus self-infatuation and absorption.Progressive metal band Threshold referenced the myth with an 11-minute epic titled "Narcissus", the closing track on their album Hypothetical. Greek metal band Septic Flesh recorded a song about Narcissus (called "Narcissus") on their album Communion."Narcissus in a Red Dress" by The Like was released on The Like EP and their album Release Me. The Canadian band Hedley has written a song about Narcissus (called "Narcissist"). One line goes He falls in love with his reflection in the glass / He can't resist who's staring back.Composer Nikolai Tcherepnin wrote his ballet "Narcisse et Echo, Op. 40 in 1911 for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and was danced by Nijinski. Uruguayan band El Cuarteto de Nos wrote the song "Me Amo" (I Love Myself) in which the chorus sings "como Narciso soy" (I am like Narcissus). In 2010, Swedish electronic artist pacific! released "Narcissus" an album and ballet staged in Gothenburg.[7] In 1994, composer Mark Applebaum composed Narcissus: Strata/Panacea for marimba solo. This work comprised one movement of the larger Janus Cycle, for mixed instrumentation.[8] In 1987, Thea Musgrave was commissioned by a consortium of four flutists for a solo work. She composed Narcissus for flute and digital delay.

In 1898 Havelock Ellis, an English sexologist, used the term "narcissus-like" in reference to excessive masturbation, whereby the person becomes his or her own sex object.In 1899, Paul Näche was the first person to use the term "narcissism" in a study of sexual perversions.

Otto Rank, in 1911, published the first psychoanalytical paper specifically concerned with narcissism, linking it to vanity and self-admiration.Sigmund Freud only published one paper exclusively devoted to narcissism in 1914, called "On Narcissism: An Introduction".One of the personality disorders is called narcissistic personality disorder.In Marilyn Manson's song Deep Six, One of the lines mentions his name, along with the Greek god Zeus.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(mythology)

Narcissus was once walking by a lake or river and decided to drink some water; he saw his reflection in the water and was surprised by the beauty he saw; he became entranced by the reflection of himself.The myth of Narcissus is one of the most known Greek Myths, due to its uniqueness and moral tale; Narcissus, was the son of River God Cephisus and nymph Lyriope. He was known for his beauty and he was loved by God Apollo due to his extraordinary physique.The myth of Narcissus comes in two different versions, the Greek and the Greco-Roman version, as both Conon the Greek and Ovid, the Roman poet, wrote the story of Narcissus, enhancing it with different elements.According to Conon, Aminias, a young man fell in love with Narcissus, who had already spurned his male suitors. Aminias was also spurned by Narcissus who gave the unfortunate young man a sword. Aminias killed himself at Narcissus’ doorstep praying to the Gods to give Narcissus a lesson for all the pain he had provoked.Narcissus was once walking by a lake or river and decided to drink some water; he saw his reflection in the water and was surprised by the beauty he saw; he became entranced by the reflection of himself. He could not obtain the object of his desire though, and he died at the banks of the river or lake from his sorrow.The myth presented by Ovid the poet is slightly altered. According to this myth, Narcissus’ parents were worried because of the extraordinary beauty of the child and asked prophet Teiresias what to do, regarding their son’s futureTeiresias told them that the boy would grow old only if “he didn’t get to know himself”. When Narcissus was sixteen he was walking in the woods and Nymph Echo saw him and felt madly in love with him. She started following him and Narcissus asked “who’s there”, feeling someone after him.Echo responded “who’s there” and that went on for some time until Echo decided to show herself. She tried to embrace the boy who stepped away from Echo, telling her to leave him alone. Echo was left heartbroken and spent the rest of her life in glens; until nothing but an echo sound remained of her.Nemesis, though, the Goddess of Revenge, heard the story and decided to punish Narcissus. From this point the stories are similar; Narcissus sees himself in the pond and he is amazed by the beauty of the reflection. Once he figured out that his love could not be addressed, he killed himself.

“Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.” - Anais Nin

Love will tear us apart again.

[There are some things in life that jostle you so thoroughly, you're left reeling for an indeterminate amount of time. And *sometimes* when you're already reeling, you reel further due to other occurrences heaping on top of the initial thing that sent you reeling. At which point you might find yourself spinning uncontrollably, in such a way that eating and sleeping become less and less likely options--until you give up on them altogether. It then becomes *exciting* when you feel a small hunger pang or stinging in your eyes that seems to be your body weakly telling you you need to address those once habitual basic needs you used to meet.

So. That's where I'm at. I don't know what it is about my life, but things really do come in threes for me. Three deaths, three breakups in three years, three relationships...three cars. Okay maybe that last one doesn't matter. But--it's odd. At this point I don't know if I'm becoming superstitious or just losing my mind. Let's hope for the former, because the latter really sounds like a bother.

I really want anyone reading this who might also be going through hard times to know--deeply--that they are not alone. I don't care how cliche it sounds.]

An impressive new work for this well known wall in Hanbury Street - the best since The Octiphant I reckon.

several years ago I was accused of posting these black photos when an awful massacre occurred in order to garner faves.

please don't fave this.

I post these because I am heartbroken for the victims, dead and alive.

my sorrow to El Paso, TX for the slaughter there today [aug 3].

earlier this week we had another one in California where 3 were killed, 2 children and a young man.

and there was yet another shooting in Southhaven, Mississippi where two walmart co-workers were killed.

El Paso sadly suffered many deaths and injured.

El Paso suffered domestic terrorism, a hate crime. it may turn out that hispanics, immigrants were targeted.

the NRA and mr trump should be proud. the shooter killed with an AK-47 legally purchased in Texas.

wikipedia:

As of January 1, 2016, holders of a Texas CHL or LTC are able to openly carry handguns in the same places that allow concealed carry with some exceptions. Openly carried handguns must be in a shoulder or belt holster. Existing CHL holders may continue to carry with a valid license.

where were all these gun totin' citizens when this murderer was killing?

IMHO it takes more than a license to be able to react properly in a mass shooting incident.

white supremacists are probably not composed of any nice people.

conspiracy theorists: if you feel that the government is staging these slaughters in order to legislate no guns for US citizens so the populace can be controlled, it's not working.

mr trump needs to admit that his rhetoric is causing hatred. this is a country of diversity, not a country of all-white fundamentalist christians. [who own guns]

I am, again, sick to my stomach.

There’s an old Hawaiian legend tied to the ohia tree and its flower, the lehua blossom: One day Pele, the goddess of volcanos, met a handsome warrior named Ohia and she asked him to marry her. But Ohia had already pledged his love to Lehua. Pele was furious when Ohia turned down her marriage proposal, so she turned Ohia into a twisted tree. Lehua was heartbroken. The gods took pity on Lehua and decided it was an injustice to have Ohia and Lehua separated. So, they turned Lehua into a flower on the o'hia tree so that the two lovers would be forever joined together. So you should never pick a lehua blossom from an o'hia tree.

Hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all. I'm so far behind with everything I may never catch up!

It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of our precious E14. Rest In Peace little one.

Fairport Baptist Homes is in the background. I have volunteered there since 2013, when my mom was a residen for 3 years. After her death, I've continued to volunteer and have become close with residents and staff. This Independant/assisted living/long term care facility originated in 1904, a mission of the Baptist Church: and though unafilliated formally in the 1970's, it has remained a non-profit, caring, spiritual and reasonably priced facility. Last year it was reated #13 our of 600 in New York State for quality of care. Covid hit hard though and Fairport Baptist had no choice but to decalre bankruptcy - another non-profit home in Rochester was lending a hand and planned to purchase FBH, but they were WAY outbid by a huge "for-profit" company that operates over 100 nursing homes, mostly in Texas and Florida and has a poor reputation. I am heartbroken for the residents and staff of my beloved Fairport Baptist.

...true colors, don't be afraid...

I believe in and support equal rights for all people, regardless of their gender, age, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or sexual identity. Today I grieve with the LGBT community, and all Americans, following the horrendous act of terror, violence, and hatred in Orlando.

Mrs. Box Turtle is burying her eggs. When I first built my house I had no idea about box turtle behavior. One may one turtle was discovered digging a hole to bury her eggs in the walkway. Started reresearching to find they return year after year and build their nest where they were born, unlucky turtles, I built my house in their nesting ground. Every year for the last 43 years, I have observed one or several female turtles burying their eggs somewhere on the property. Two of them have distinctive markings and are said to live for one hundred years. I will be heartbroken to find either shell with a dead turtle in it.

i really don't know these fish, other than the really big ones, the really small ones or the one with the white spot, but i would be heartbroken if anything happened to any of them.
