Earlier today, 5th April 2015 she slipped away to find at last rest and peace that eluded her for the most of her 90 years.
As a teenager growing up in Nazi occupied Greece she joined the Resistance from early on. It was then that she met the man that she would later spend the rest of her life with. This young man from a small village in Cyprus who had left his father’s sheep and goats and rallied to fight for the liberty of the mother country found himself abandoned by the Allies when they retreated from Greece. Fearful for his life in a strange land this corporal in the Cyprus Regiment found refuge with a brave family at Pyri in Thebes; my mother’s uncle.
Months later, this safe haven was betrayed and the young corporal was captured by the Italians and was sent to a prisoner of war camp in Italy from where he would eventually escape and spend the rest of the War in Switzerland.
In the meantime, with the capitulation of the Nazis the young lady in Thebes found that the group she was struggling with in the Occupation was now considered enemy of the state. Fearing for her life, she was smuggled out of Greece with a false passport. She turned to the only man she knew outside of Greece and they were soon married.
Village life in Cyprus in the 40's and 50's was hard but this young lady's life was made harder by the locals' prejudices. It was not long before her kindness warmed everyone to her. She formed a kind of finishing school at our house and taught all the young girls of the village arts and crafts; a generation grew up equipped with skills and knowledge for which they are always grateful. Whenever I return to the village the first thing they ask me is “How is Kyria Yioula? She is the most wonderful person, she taught us all…”, “Yes, yes, I know, she sends her regards..”
Life in London in the 60’s was not easy for immigrants, a whole life spent as a foreigner in foreign lands. She struggled with work well below her capacity and as a seamstress working for 12-15 hours a day, every day she made sure that we were not short of anything. Happy that her three children had made it through university and settled with good jobs she should have been rewarded with a more comfortable life.
Soon after my father passed away she developed dementia and as the dreaded disease took its hold deeper and deeper, her oldest son, my beloved brother passed away from cancer. On his deathbed he made me promise that our mother would never find out. I carried on this lie for five years, grateful that her short memory span didn’t betray the terrible secret I kept from her.
The most devoted, dearest Mother, rest in peace.

This was another happy accident of color manipulation.
This was supposed to be a sea dragon (very loosely similar to the leafy variety of sea horse) ... But i could not manage an under-water environment, so i gave the sea dragon (Arthur) a space environment instead. We work with what we've got.

I didn’t want to skip ahead on my new species count but I also need to add some diversity on my page away from the birds of Costa Rica. As often stated, I am not a birder, I am a wildlife guy. I photograph anything that moves and a few things that do not!
While being transported from one hotel/region of CR to the next we used a service called I Love Travel…five stars…highest recommendations!!! Our driver’s name was Willie and he could not have been any kinder. For the entire 2+ hour journey we talked and laughed, sharing information about CR and the things we were seeing. Since he had a delay between us and his next customers, I had him scanning for wildlife all along the way. At one point, without warning he hit the brakes, did a sharp right turn onto a gravel road, pulled off into a parking lot below a large avocado where two scarlet macaws were feeding.
After some 20+ minutes there photographing them as they worked the branches above, we departed only to do yet another bat-turn into a neighborhood where he knew there to be sloths from time to time. He jumped out, scanned the trees for a few minutes and then came back and said that they had moved on. He must have seen the disappointment in my eyes as he laughed and said…” I will find you something even bigger my friend!” I immediately said MONKEYS…he just smiled and said…” You will see!”
Several minutes passed and we were back off the highway and driving through a small CR town. He whipped into a spot alongside a restaurant named (something in Spanish) Iguanas. We got out and walked along the side of the restaurant to see some very large trees behind the building, rooted in a small river far below.
Amongst the branches were 10-12 of the largest iguanas that I have ever seen! The largest, a male who was at least five foot long and a head the circumference of a volleyball! However, this isn’t that guy…he will be shared at a later date. I am sharing his guy today as he perfectly reflects the contentment I felt to be in the Costa Rican sun in January (I believe it was about 85 degrees when this was taken) knowing that it was at or below zero back home in Indiana!

digital art using "Silk" application on iPad with Apple Pencil, then clarifying and embellishing with ProCreate on iPad with Apple Pencil.
Last year’s holiday star was for my friend Harry Urban, and showed my enjoyment of embroidery.
This year’s star shows six sharp “pointy” points. This picture goes with my blog entry about dementia symptom of not connecting cause with effect, and the various strategies now that i have returned from Emergency Room, Life Flight, and emergency removal of very "pointy" thing from my throat.

Digital art to go with a blog entry for pages with writings from my dementia friends during February. Used several special tools in ProCreate application on this, along with the standard "stabilizing" tool that allows me to draw and write despite extreme tremors. Finished 06Feb2021 .
It's calm and peacful now. However, come summertime it is most likely a very busy spot for summer fun!
dad was in good spirits this weekend... hugging us all... helping me BBQ... singing happy birthday to my mom and gobbling down a huge piece of texas sheet cake... he brightened up even more when i brought out my camera... he'll strike this real serious pose and then... after every shot, he runs over all excited to see the photo displayed on the camera... sometimes he says... "who's that old man?" but this time he surprised me... he liked this particular shot... a lot...
Shot so many angles for this and this is the only one that turned out 'decent'. I left my 18-55 kit lens with my mom and now I only have a 40mm, 50mm, and fisheye..
I've needed something shorter so many times now that I don't have it :(

My dad passed away tonight... peacefully... from old age... he was pushing 92... And for now I can say this about my dad... He loved his family, sweeping that back porch and Schlitz beer... A few years ago before the dementia stole his words, dad told me that he did not fear death... He looked forward to seeing his parents and his siblings again... I'm certain there will be one wild Greek party tonight...
