A headstone that just stood out for me at Bromtpon. No name, no details - Just the words MOTHER. I found it very personal and just had that moment there of remembrance, thinking, contemplating and appreciating.
In Flanders Fields
by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
In memory of the dead and fallen from the wars (Baltic Sea)

If I had one wish to make
I'd use it up on you.
Just to see you one more time
In the heavenly sky so blue
All I have are the memories
The good ones and the bad
The day you finally let it go
And left me more than sad
I wish that you could come back here
And fill back up this hole
You put it there years ago
When your body left your soul
You always made me feel special
You were always there it seems
But after all this is too big
It's only wishful Dreams
posting for Saturday Self-Challenge: SHARP
I now understand why this little tree, planted in memory of Clare in our front garden, is called hawthorn: the tiny thorns which follow the beautiful deep pink blossom, are surprisingly sharp!
many thanks for all visits, faves and comments
In memory of Christopher, son of our friends Robin & Jean. Christopher suddenly passed away recently at the age of 42. He is leaving such a hole in his family's heart and lives. Ken & I are sending out hugs to them all, sending out energies into the universe, and hoping that our daughter, Jamie, was there to give Christopher a hug and tell him how our families are linked across the miles, and through Flickr. How sorry we are for his passing.
Please, if you can, light a candle for Christopher. He will be missed SO very much.
- it is now easier to fill my small vase in memory of Clare
- today: pulmonaria, tête à tête, viola, tiny pink violets, primroses, and a sprig of rosemary in blue flower

In memory for those lost and injured in Nice.
I went out this morning to take the flags on the War Memorial for La Fête Nationale, (Bastille Day, or le 14 juillet).
I took them from the front to start with, but was risking it as I had the sun in front of me. So I nipped behind the Memorial and took a look. They actually looked much better. Plus I got lucky and the wind blew them around a bit too.
Much more fun viewed large.

Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg:
Miniatur-Keramikküche von Anneliese Dreifuss, die sie ins Exil mitnahm.
Anneliese Dreifuss lebte mit ihrer Schwester Helga und ihren Eltern in der Gerokstrasse in Stuutgart. Vater Max Dreifuss besaß ein Geschäft für Herrenbekleidung. Die Familie gehörte der reformierten jüdischen Gemeinde an.
1930 starb Mutter Elsa. Nach dem Machtantritt der Nationalsozialisten musste Anneliese ihre Schule verlassen. 1938 wurde Max Dreifuss in Buchenwald inhaftiert. Unter der Bedingung, dass er Deutschland verlassen würde, kam er frei.
Im April 1939 konnte er mit seinen Töchtern Anneliese und Helga in die Vereinigten Staaten auswandern.
Zu den wenigen Spielsachen, die Anneliese mit ins Exil nahm, gehörte die Puppenküche.
Ihre Tochter Agnes Hartstein übergab die Küche später an Yad Vashem.
Saarbrücken, Saarland:
Poesiealbum von Lilo Ermann, die in Auschwitz ermordet wurde .
"Lieselotte (Lilo) Ermann (1926-1943) wuchs in Saarbrücken in wohlhabenden, behüteten Verhältnissen auf.
Das dokumentieren die vielen Fotos, die von ihr erhalten sind.
Lilos Großvater Gustav Ermann war Inhaber einer Textilfabrik, für die ihr Vater Willi (1897-1943) und sein Bruder Leo als Vertreter arbeiteten. Willi hatte im ersten Weltkrieg als Soldat gedient. Nach dem Krieg heiratete er Else Mayer (1903-1943).
Als die Repressionen gegen Jüdinnen und Juden zunahmen, flüchtete Lilo mit ihren Eltern 1938 nach Paris , die Großeltern gingen nach Luxemburg. Im Exil arbeitete Willi Ermann weiterhin als Vertreter. Mit der Besetzung Frankreichs ab 1940 wuchs die Bedrohung für die kleine Familie. Zunächst konnten Willi und Else wegen ihrer Arbeitsverpflichtungen als "Nutzjuden" den Deportationen noch entgehen. Doch im März 1943 wurde Willi aus dem Sammellager Drancy nach Auschwitz deportiert, zwei Monate später auch Lilo und ihre Mutter.
Alle drei wurden in Auschwitz ermordet.
Lilo hat ihr Poesiealbum noch mit nach Paris genommen.Danach geriet es in den Besitz ihres Großvaters Gustav Ermann, der den Krieg versteckt in einem Kloster außerhalb von Paris überlebte.
Er wanderte nach dem Krieg nach Eretz Israel aus und übergab das Album an Yad Vashem."
"Kannst du nicht allen gefallen durch deine tat und deine Kunstwerke, mach es einigen recht;vielen gefallen ist schlimm. Deine Mutter"
Eintrag von Lilos Mutter in ihrem Poesiealbum

Our wonderful little Chloe passed away tonight. She had diabetes, was blind, and selectively deaf. She has been our companion through some really hard times in our lives. Our hearts are broken and we will miss her forever.
I took this back in July of this year (2019)- you can see she may have been a little spoiled. She was a great traveler, too, and enjoyed many times on the way and at our other home in New Orleans.
Chloe- May 21, 2006 – Sept. 16, 2019
This lovely box was on Dinas Dinlle beach, just as you begin to walk down from the car park. Its a lovely memory and a gesture for others to take a ball for their pet to play with on the beach.
A beautiful thing to do......................
Just got into my heart.
In memory of Baek Se-hee. Like Iris Chang (The Rape of Nanking), they found themselves in writing, but were lost in the fame.
Last of summer sun

shadows stretch and yawn
Tried really hard to create a collage of my dear LBC. Skills eluded me so I resorted to a screenshot of some of my favorite shots. Since she was a true lap cat, getting up close wasn’t difficult at all.….
The LBC (little black cat) started life being all black but as she aged her whiskers became white!! She lived to be almost 19, I think t was

I took this yesterday completely unaware that there had been a tragedy unfolding in London.
I had thought that it might not be appropriate to post today, on the other hand this cormorant was completely free to go about his day, it's a reminder that we are privileged to go about our daily business (usually) without fear of attack.
As an aside I'd clocked the cormorant last week when on my bike, had gone down later that day with the camera but only ducks to be found. Yesterday however, I was going upstream and he landed on the pictured rock about 50m ahead of me, he stayed long enough for me to get 3 photos. I was amazed at the beauty of the fearthers
In memory of the coral that has died at Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
"Preserving coral reefs is crucial, given we depend on them for everything from food to medical research to protection from damaging coastal storms.
"The research illustrated the gravity of the situation facing the 2,300-kilometer (1,400-mile) Great Barrier Reef. The team found 91 percent of the reef has been bleached at least once during the three bleaching events. Even more alarming, Hughes said, is that a fourth bleaching event is already underway. Corals need years to recover from bleaching, so back-to-back events increase the possibility that the bleached coral will die.
"None of us were expecting the water to be heating up again right now," [coral reef scientist] Baum said. "I think it's beyond what any of us could have imagined. It's our worst nightmare."
