" Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please
Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven "

Gray wolves, JuraParc, Vallée de Joux, Vallorbe, Switzerland
Originally, the Grey Wolf was the world's most widely distributed mammal. It has become extinct in much of Western Europe and much of the USA, and their present distribution is more restricted.
Where wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act, the most common cause of death for wolves is conflict with people over livestock losses. While wolf predation on livestock is fairly uncommon, wolves that are suspected of preying on livestock are often killed, sometimes even entire packs.
I've been taking a little bit of a break due to the sudden loss of my grandfather earlier this month. I wanted to create a photo to portray my emotions at this time. His funeral is coming up and I've just spent time thinking about what I'm doing with my real life, things I still want to accomplish, and the goals that I've made for myself. Thank you to everyone who has been understanding during my time away. I'll be returning to secondlife soon - Danielle
The Sirius Anomaly deals with the loss of my lil dude Loki, the German Shepherd lab mix I fathered for 13 years. The photos in the series are meant to represent the five steps of grief. However, they are about fighting through the suffering of losing something precious. I am not sure if I did the feelings justice, but they were for me to process and think more deeply on the loss. I am sorry to those that are close to me if I have been distant lately. I typically do not like to bring people into that space with me.

The death of any loved parent is an incalculable lasting blow because no-one ever loves you like that again...
I don't know how to feel today, I just... need to keep busy...
A semi-aquatic mammal native to south and southeast Asia. These otters have sensitive and dexterous front paws which help them locate their prey when they dig around in the mud. Their diet consist primary of crabs, molluscs, frogs and crustaceans. They tend to live in pairs and can form family groups of up to 2 individuals and are the smallest species of otter in the word. Unfortunately they are listed on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss, pollution and hunting.

I came across this scene today. It fascinated me, but I did not know why. I still don't. It is Spring, and the lost glove points back to Winter. I guess, the scene is talking to me, about expectations and about loss. A lost Spring.
....of my Mum who passed away earlier this year. Miss you Mum 💔
Hope everyone is doing OK. This is the reason I haven't been about much over the last year or so. I've done very little photography lately but hoping to get back into it over the next few months.

Осенняя грусть это нечто особое,
Печаль, да не просто сиюминутная,
Томленье души или нечто подобное,
Чему не найти объяснения путного.
Осенняя грусть — не простая депрессия,
Микстурой с таблетками точно не лечится,
В ней много любви и ни капли агрессии,
С ней просто душа от бессилия мечется.
Осенняя грусть — не симптом безнадёжности,
Тоски и усталости от безысходности,
И не любви, от потери влюблённости,
Отсутствие шанса вернуть невозможное.
Осенняя грусть, как простуда не лечится,
И вряд ли помогут микстуры целебные,
И всё же порою мне в лучшее верится,
Что в ней для души что-то очень полезное ...
..........................................................................................................Autumn sadness is something special,
Sadness, but not just momentary,
Languor of the soul or something similar,
What is not to find a good explanation.
Autumn sadness is not a simple depression,
Medicine with pills is definitely not treated,
There is a lot of love in it and not a drop of aggression,
With her, the soul just rushes from impotence.
Autumn sadness is not a symptom of hopelessness,
Longing and fatigue from hopelessness,
And not love, from the loss of love,
The lack of a chance to return the impossible.
Autumn sadness, as a cold is not treated,
And medicinal potions are unlikely to help,
And yet sometimes I believe in the best,
That there is something very useful in it for the soul...

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the globe.
Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed., and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph).- Source Wikipedia
i've been in SL almost 19 years. I've met and lost alot of people. Friends have passed and it always hurts. But this one shattered my whole heart.
***if you think SL is a game then you've already lost. ***
Masque... i will miss you forever. You touched a part of my soul with our friendship for the last 11 years.... I love you.
i will always be your ...Envy Motherfuckin' Watts

Endemic to Brazil.
This species is classified as Near Threatened because it is suspected to be declining moderately rapidly due to habitat loss.

Marsh Owl (Asio capensis ssp.tingitanus) in flight Morocco_North Africa_w_0363
The Morocco Marsh Owls are an isolated and dwindling population. So much so that they are now a critically endangered species in Morocco.
This fragmented population is geographically separated from other breeding Marsh Owls by the huge arid area to the south called the Sahel. The Moroccan Marsh Owls are in fact a sub-species Asio capensis ssp. tingitanus. The only other other sub-species is Asio Capensis hova, in Madagascar.
The main cause of their decline in Morocco is habitat loss due to draining of large marsh areas with the expansion of agriculture.
Our travels together never really got off the ground. Just flights of fancy.. On the Orient Express, through Moroccan markets.. Bathing in faraway volcanic springs.. Anywhere but here.
You were the first and deepest friend I made in these pixelated lands.. And even as we drifted in and out over fourteen years, I missed you the most.
I will take you in my heart to Iceland, darling.. I promise.
For Kou, who was taken from us in summer -
"There are days when you wake up happy;
Again inside the fullness of life,
Until the moment breaks
And you are thrown back
Onto the black tide of loss.
Days when you have your heart back,
You are able to function well
Until in the middle of work or encounter,
Suddenly with no warning,
You are ambushed by grief." -For Grief by John O’Donohue

"This show is dedicated to my good friend Amona Savira, who left us earlier this year quite unexpectedly. Her passing was an absolute shock to me but sadly it was just one of a few losses I suffered this year. When Kate asked me to fill in this show slot that had been intended for Amona, I was happy to try and do it justice, even though other pressures didn't seem to want me to complete it. I think what I experienced this year with all the events in my life, is that regardless of how tragic and harsh things can be, you cannot let things consume you and paralyze you. Suffering, remorse, sadness are all healthy emotions but they must not take over your life. Keeping things in perspective and getting back to the business of living your life can be hard but must be a priority. It's hard and you can get lost. I know because I did get lost a bit this year. I know you all have experienced these things your self, this shoot was a bit of therapy for me. Thanks, Dr. Kate!"
Senna Coronet.
Does that sound strange? Well, let me tell you, it was indeed a strange sight to encounter. In this field, there were scores of dead grasshoppers clinging to these slender stalks. I was simply amazed. When I saw this pair, it really struck a chord. For some reason, it made me think of lost love. You know, losing a lover, the loss of a friendship, the loss of self-love. I'm sure that you catch my drift. Anyway, I found this to be very sad and yet comforting at the same time. After all, they died in each other's arms.
Old cemetery Freiburg, Germany. Black and white version. Can`t really decide if I like black and white or colour better...
When I saw this scene something about the stillness, the light and the setting spoke to me of loss. Since the Princess was with me I thought mainly of those who lose a young child and I couldn't imagine the pain that must cause. My heartfelt sympathies to all of who have lost a child.
I love Susan's (aka mothernature) words much better than mine: It is a vision of what used to be.
Thanks for your friendship and visits.
