Mums

White-Fronted Chats

Great crested grebes - Haubentaucher

Red MUM flower

Mums are associated with these meanings: longevity, fidelity, and optimism. The orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum petals represent perfection

However, despite their beauty, pink mums are still associated with funerals and the afterlife.

NO MULTIPLE INVITATIONS PLEASE Thank you!

On Wednesday 20th February I had the heartbreak of watching my mum pass away, the grief has been unbearable at times since, but as always my friends have rallied around. Great friend Mark sacrificed hours of sleep to drive some 130 miles on Sunday morning to pick me up and take me along to the Peak district for sunrise for a much need moment of distraction from all the sorrow.

We were treated to a sublime misty sunrise at Chrome hill and I would like to think this was a gift from mum.

R.I.P Mum.

Mums are a lush, colorful addition to any landscape during the fall season when other elements of your landscape start to look

drab and lifeless.

All our Mums have wilted except our 2 yellows by the front door in the pots.

I have been doing curb pickup at the grocery store. This week on went my mask and I went in the store and bought my own groceries. LOVED IT right down to the beautiful pot of Purple Mums I purchased.

Nice to watch the interactions between a family of 4 Roe Deer, but it was sad to see the mum with a badly mangled leg...Musselburgh Lagoons

These baby sparrows sat and waited until their mum came with some bugs for them to eat.

I fell in love with the colour of these mums.

I might even have to go back to buy a pot 😁

Rich is my Mum's guard. He was a tiny puppy when my Son rescued him from sending to Sailors Academy. Noone wanted take him home as he was mixed breed and in addition one eye was brown and other was blue. My Son took him to the countryside where my Mum and Sister live and told them puppy's story. Sister is a nurse and she is away all day, the same Sister's Husband- that time he still worked as mechanic in a bus park. And then my Mum said: I will take care of him....

This friendship lasts until this day. Rich now is my Mum's guard❤️

NO MORE WAR

NO MORE SHOOTINGS

NO MORE KILLING

Lizzi is the oldest of my cats. She's always been very charismatic and always got her way with everyone. That's why I eventually nicknamed her Queen Mother. She feels recognized by her new name and is very comfortable in her role. Even the dogs acknowledge her dominance.

Some of the last Mums to show their seasonal color.

For this week's Macro Monday theme 'Gift'

My Mum loved her beads but my sisters and I don't really wear them so rather than leave them languishing in a box I had the idea of using them to make each of my sisters, my daughter and my nieces a decoration. I basically wired the beads onto a heart shaped wire frame. As the heart is bigger than the 3" limit for Macro Monday images I have photographed a small section of my heart. I gifted the hearts to my four sisters, my daughter and my nieces for Christmas and they were all really touched. Also included were some beads from a broken vintage necklace that belonged to our Maternal Grandmother. I shared those beads out to make sure everyone had some of them. I also colour matched the beads as much as possible to their home decor!

Thanks for all the very kind comments and faves on my images. They are, as always, very much appreciated.

Planted by Mum the year before she passed away. Every year, when it flowers, it gives me lovely warm memories. Not sure what it’s called but it’s a climber and smells absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for viewing 😀💕

Thanks for your appreciation. I post images on Instagram @gks1950. Cheers, Gail
