For some of us this time of year is not the easiest including myself so I did this winter scene capture as a tribute to my parents who I lost years ago on December 24th.
My Mom and Dad loved the winter scenes on the Christmas cards they would get in the mail from their family and friends and this capture reminded me of watching my Mom smiling with every card she opened passing them to my father saying "Oh look at this one hun".♥
The spirit of Christmas is all around us and so are the memories of our loved ones who we once shared it with so for them I carry the spirit and memories of Christmas in my heart....and now I share it with you.
The music I have chosen really reminds me that they are not so far away hope you take a moment to listen and feel it cause I do.
♥Merry Christmas Mom and Dad I love you♥ Rip

It was as if I'd found a needle in a haystack. I came across this tiny figurine that had been placed on a grave amid several acres in a nearby cemetery. It was just a few inches tall, and largely concealed by dead grass and flowers. Yet my internal guidance system brought me here. The scene was compelling. It's always this way for me. The sheer humanity of the scene is my initial reaction. I never seem to recognize the names inscribed on the stones, but I feel an empathy for the deceased and the surviving family members and whoever placed this little angel here. I've seen all manner of angel figurines. This one was particularly emotive. The downcast, mournful pose; the bare arms and shoulders exuded a sense of vulnerability on this chilly, rainy, windswept day. Everything I felt and sensed as I stood here seemed to boil down to the thin line where the side of the face intersected with the arm. Amazing fluidity and emotion in the space of about two inches. A microcosm of sorrow, delicate in rendering but so harsh in its symbolism. I held the iPhone as close as I possibly could while maintaining focus on that thin line. Usually the face is the most powerful aspect of these figurines. But here the energy was magnified many fold because the face was concealed. It's as if the energy here is derived in large part by the mind of the viewer.
Fires can be so destructive and I wish those who are still trying to survive them the ability to and those who have lost loved ones sincere condolences. I cannot imagine all of your pain.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

La Misura del Mondo, Azzurra D’agostino.
In matematica non sono brava.
Perdo il conto delle foglie dei rami
e per le stelle ogni volta ricomincio da capo.
Non riesco a misurare il salto delle cavallette
e non so la formula per il perimetro delle nuvole.
Il calcolo di quanta neve sia caduta mi sfugge
e anche di quanta ne possa reggere un filo d’erba.
La somma dei passi per arrivare al mare non mi riesce
e mi chiedo se per il ritorno devo fare una sottrazione.
Ho diviso il numero dei semi per i frutti
il risultato è una nuova foresta e ne avanza qualcuno.
Se moltiplico le giornate di sole per quelle di pioggia
ottengo più di sette stagioni e non so quante settimane.
La matematica mi confonde.
Come misura del mondo è strana.
Per quanti conti si facciano qualcosa non torna mai pari.
Due finestre fanno una vista? quattro muri sono una casa?
Noi siamo i nostri centimetri, chili, litri? quanto pesa un segreto?
quanto misura una risata? e l’area del cuore come si calcola?.
The music I could hear is the melody of the words I still remember.Moon.
I'm not good at math.
I lose count of the leaves on the branchesand with the stars I start over every time.I can't measure the jump of grasshoppersand I don't know the formula for the perimeter of clouds.
Calculating how much snow has fallen escapes meand also how much a blade of grass can hold.I can't add up the steps to get to the seaand I wonder if I have to subtract them to get back.
I divided the number of seeds by the number of fruitsand the result is a new forest with a few left over.If I multiply the sunny days by the rainy daysI get more than seven seasons and I don't know how many weeks.Mathematics confuses me.It is a strange way to measure the world.No matter how many calculations you make, something never adds up.
Do two windows make a view? Are four walls a house?Are we our centimeters, kilograms, liters? How much does a secret weigh?How much does laughter measure? And how do you calculate the area of the heart?
This place had such a visual effect upon me. I was supposed to be helping with the moving of things but was taken by these lines and patterns.

The only gun I own is a bubble gun and that is all I want to own!!
When are we going to be responsible here in the USA and make a law to protect our population from being killed by a gun. The statistics are out and the USA has more people killed by guns because of their lack of laws, what is wrong with this country. All people are valuable and no-one deserves to lose a loved one because of the lack of gun control!!! How many more people have to be killed until we
take action?

...this pic, and song, is for those of you that have lost a loved one. The song was written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings after the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53-story window. For all of you that have felt the hurt and pain from the loss of a loved one, I dedicate this to you.

These are just some of the cats who have died since I started taking pictures eight months ago of cats at work. They each have a story. Oliver, the ginger and white cat sitting up in the center of the collage passed away yesterday. When he first started boarding, years ago, he HATED us. He gradually relaxed to the point that for the past couple of years he was one of the most social boarders we had - he wanted to meet everyone. See the little black and white kitty above Oliver? Her name was Pepe. She was probably the most pathetic looking cat I've ever seen and her mom thought she was beautiful. Peanut (top row, second from the right) and Annie (below Oliver) were both 21 years old when they died but Gizmo (top row, center) was the oldest at 22. Aristotle (bottom row, right column) was only three when he was diagnosed with FIP and died shortly after that. He had three brothers and they were a riot when they boarded - ambushing each other one minute and grooming each other the next. Jinx (left column, third from the bottom) was fine one day and paralyzed from the hips down the next. She probably had a blood clot but was happy, friendly and acted healthy until the day before she died.
The only thing all these cats had in common was that they were cherished by their families.
I realize a couple cats look almost identical but there are no repeats - each picture is of a different cat.

Yesterday I started my quest for Winter inspiration. It was -5 degrees and I was ridiculously cold. I found I am very ill prepared for this venture in terms of the OBVIOUS like gloves and something for my ears. I felt like I was trudging through a blizzard. I've already started my online shopping so I can continue my winter adventures in a much more warmer (and yes dignified)manner. (suggestions are welcome btw!) On my way back to the outside grounds of our condo, the sun had began to set and the skies were a soft blush of pink and light lavender. The tall fence that gates our community was covered in a glittery veil of snow and the sun was barely peeking over. But enough so that it's rays were beautifully crisp and visible. It made it seem as if something warm and beautiful was just over the fence. Wouldn't it be nice if lost loved ones were "just over the fence"? There's a country song I love by Justin Moore called "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away." It always pulls on my heart and imagination. I hold onto my memories of Rebekah like tightly kept secret. In that aspect she is always on my side of the fence. <3

Today we had to buried our little guinea pig Lotto. After we fought all week to beat a sickness that stopped him eating for a few days and although he was making a great recovery his little body gave in . .
The beautiful never forget memorial garden at the National memorial Arboretum, poppies are placed in memory of loved ones, such a special memorial, Autumn 2016.
regardless of whether or not you celebrate this day, i just want to take this opportunity to say that i am thankful for the good people in my life. from my oldest, dearest friends to those whom i've not met in person, but have still made a true connection with, my life is better for knowing them all.
and that includes so many people i've encountered on this site. such talented, inspiring and kind hearts here. so much in common, despite our differences.
the shared experience of art that we have here brings the world to our doorsteps every day.
what a tremendous gift.
so, happy thanksgiving. i have much to be thankful for.
we all do.

You've come to save the world?
What do you believe?
What do you believe?
So you've been chosen:
By your eyes,
By your hands,
By the choices that you call your own,
And price that you would sell your own soul.
Pay the toll.
Carry your,
Carry your last test of flesh and bone
We make exchanges as the story unfolds.
You've come to save the world?
What do you believe?
What do you believe?

It makes me so sad to know that there are people out there who somehow slip through the cracks. Their loved ones are just not able to help them, it is a long, hard and lonely battle I am sure, one that I hope we can find a way to eliminate. Suicide by drugs is only second to suicide through depression and of course there are other methods of suicide. There is much written about this serious problem that one can research, the sites are endless and not being an expert on this subject I find it hard to choose a specific one to link to, however, I do list 3 interesting quotes:
The sun also sets. - Ernest Hemingway
The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling. -
David Foster Wallace.
Killing oneself is, anyway, a misnomer. We don't kill ourselves. We are simply defeated by the long, hard struggle to stay alive. When somebody dies after a long illness, people are apt to say, with a note of approval, "He fought so hard." And they are inclined to think, about a suicide, that no fight was involved, that somebody simply gave up. This is quite wrong. - Sally Brampton, Shoot the Damn Dog: A Memoir of Depression
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
Let us never forget the ones that have gone on before us, and especially for those who payed the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country free!
Sunset is always nice especially you are enjoying it with your precious one. I came to Kitsilano Beach hoping for a dramatic sunset just like last week. The sunset was nice but not as crazy as I saw before.
Just when I was about to leave, I saw this old couple sitting together enjoying the sunset. They reminded me how important it is to enjoy such beautiful view with someone you truly want....have a great week :)

My cousin's home BURNT DOWN!
So 2 nights ago my cousin's home burnt down. A 3 story home, totally gone. I was on my way to work and the road was blocked off and I saw firetrucks.. I had the worst feeling in my gut. I knew that their home was viewable thru the train station - so I asked Juan to stop at the train station and let me out.
I literally stood there in total shock on the train platform looking at the home that my great grandfather built- which was my grandfathers.. I've been visiting since I was a child.. (so much as a child).. Tears were streaming down my face. My cousin and his wife.. (And I believe his brother and a child in another unit) were living there for some time. Evidentially they were able to get the families out, but my cousin's brother (I think) - is now in a burn trauma center with severe burns, but all of the humans survived.
I believe they were able to get one dog out..
But one dog died.. and 5 cats. .😥They were trapped inside this home that was totally engulfed in flames...
This whole situation breaks my heart.
I spoke to my cousin yesterday. I know he & his wife are staying with their daughter. I am so heartbroken for them. I don't even know what to say about it.. Except it's really unexpected.. they literally LOST EVERYTHING.. and my heart breaks for them.
I will keep you guys updated if anything comes up.. (A gofundme) or something. I know a lot of my customers at my job were asking about a gofundme, etc. They do want to help, I think the whole town does.. It's devastating. I just don't know what to say.. except that they definitely need your thoughts/prayers right now.. if you could.
I appreciate it.
I really don't know what else to say...
Hope you all are doing well...
>>Oh and the heater guy is finally coming to fix check our heater, tomorrow. It's about time.. we only froze all winter. Now it's spring, we don't use the heater.. and he's going to come and TRY TO fix it. I really don't know HOW I'm going to "check the heater" and see if it's definitely working (it used to shut off for up to a day at a time after running a few hours). Because I'm NOT turning on my heater when it's warm outside. Nope. So I guess we'll find out next winter? Hmm.. We'll see.
I will do my best to return your comments as soon as I can.. Possibly today and tomorrow!
With Halloween approaching, maybe it's time for something slightly creepy. I always seek out stone angels in cemeteries; for whatever reason, I find them fascinating. Here in rural Saskatchewan, however, there are relatively few - there never has been a lot of money for building elaborate monuments to the deceased.
Imagine my surprise, then, last summer when I took a stroll through a small rural cemetery near Orkney and discovered this small and decidedly creepy angel nestled in the grasses at the base of a headstone. It was in pretty good shape, aside from the lichen growth.It seemed very odd to me, with that one hand extended, palm up, as if offering something or beseeching the visitor. Strange. I considered doing a little grooming of those stray grasses and the wild rose leaves that cover one eye, but in the end decided I liked the wild look.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- Five hundred Soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division returned to JBER-Richardson, Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012, after a 10-month deployment to Afghanistan. They were welcomed home during a short ceremony at Buckner Physical Fitness Center then reunited with their families. Nearly 2,300 Soldiers have returned home so far, and approximately 1,200 scheduled to arrive within the next few weeks. (U.S. Air Force photo by Justin Connaher)
As I stood in the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis it was difficult not to be moved by the scene there. In each direction over the horizon stretched the graves of countless individuals. many gave their lives for the liberty, freedoms, and people they loved.
Very beautiful and somber experience, especially when crossing artifacts of love left to pay respect for those passed on.

Sad sad night.
This is Yow Ling, my mom's new kitten. He was tragically killed by a bobcat tonight. He somehow got out of the garage at my mom's home in Carefree and disappeared. My mom realized he was gone within 30 seconds of his disappearance but it was too late. She called me at 11PM and asked for me to drive up and help try to find him.
When I got there, I stared searching a wash that runs through the property and spotted a pair of eyes. At first I thought this was Yow Ling, but after trying to get close I realized it was the neighborhood bobcat. I kept searching the area until I came upon Yow Ling's little body on the ground. It was an awful sight, he was bloody, broken, and covered in ants.
The poor little fella. I buried him in the backyard while my mom wailed -- this is the 2nd kitten of her's in a year that has sneaked out and fell prey to the desert predators. Years ago my Siamese that I had since 2nd grade got out and never returned. Damn desert -- sure is pretty, but has a really thorny side...
This picture was taken yesterday when he was playing with his best friend, my cat Milo. Makes me tear up just looking at him. He was a special little guy and I'm really going to miss him.
...who's ever lost someone close to them.
My best friends Mum passed away after a short battle with cancer yesterday so this is dedicated especially to her. Me being pregnant and full of a cold has only made my emotions worse and I spent all yesterday evening and night in floods of tears. Today I just feel numb and can't stop thinking about my friend.
To all those who have lost someone close to them. Remember them often and fondly forever xx
I had the best day today. We drove up to Gainesville to meet up with two of the most important people in our lives.
These folks are my family, closer than any blood I have. These people can make me feel love, joy, and appreciation more than anyone I know. Not to mention they can make me laugh like no one else.
I haven't seen them both since last September (they both live out of state) and even though it was only for about 2 hours, it was really nice to just be with them again.
My most sincere holiday wishes to those of you who have inspired, encouraged, and amazed me in 2008! (And it goes way beyond this list I can assure you!)
DC SOCIAL I am proud to call you my friends! The sense of community between us is beyond anything I could have imagined.
And beyond DC — Sharing thoughts and comments and e-mails with people all over the U.S and the world is what makes flickr so special. Ohio, Colorado, Minnesota, New York and California...you know who you are! England, New Zealand, France, Australia, and Finland too. I am lucky to be a part of this incredible community and you all inspire me every day.
So however you celebrate, whatever your traditions are, and however you say it...Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for a happy, healthy and creative 2009.

There is nothing quite like family time spent together, relaxing with loved ones makes life special. It is best with the whole family but also great fun with just a few!! Make sure to utilize your free time well!

I love to spread these family photograph albums out on the ground. It reminds me of how thankful I am for the love and support of the people in my life, even if they don't always show it. I love to fall into the past, good or bad. Nothing is ever really lost as long as we remember it. It's such a shame that it's always the worst memories that stick with us most, while the nice ones seem to slip through our fingers. As long as you remember your lost loves they will always be with you.

I dug into my archives for this weeks theme. This is my dad. Today would have been his 88th birthday. Last week marked 6 years since he has been gone. He passed away on my brothers birthday and his sisters birthday. This photo was taken 7 years ago at a family reunion. He loved that crazy hat and would wear it just about anywhere, except maybe the doctors office. Anybody who knew my dad wouldn't think twice about this look for him...lol
