Here's one from the archives because I can't wait for spring to get here....!!
Edited with three Florabella actions - Swoon, Sugar, and Trixie. Also used a texture from Kim Klassen called Sweet Treat.
Every so often I come across random pictures on my pc which I took when I visited home......It's surprising how they always somehow woo me. How they always bring back memorable moments.
Location: Grand Anse Beach, Grenada

The sad old house stands alone and still,
With a frown upon it's face.
Like a feeble derelict, stands and grieves,
In famine and disgrace.
I well remember years gone by,
When the house was in it's prime.
Before it's youth was whisked away,
By the sweeping winds of time.
But today I see through misty eyes,
In a sea of tangled weeds.
Occasional flowers growing wild,
From long forgotten seeds.
I hear some old familiar sounds,
Through memories unconfined.
And picture scenes of bygone days,
Through the windows of my mind.
Like me, the old house stands alone,
And awaits it's time to claim.
Whatever reward or recompense waits,
In the dust from whence it came.

Temaristock - Dreaming of you and Pseudo TTV, mine.
Apophysis blue flames, mine.
A very soft focus is kind of how you remember things in the past. This dedicated to those who have served our country.
Following yesterday's photo I had a request to show a full length photo of this gown, and i am happy to oblige. More sublime memories

We should save part of our memories in a box......
We may need it later......
我总是喜欢存一些与记忆有关的小物件，倒不是怕遗忘“美好”，而是期待它们能在灰暗时刻点亮生活。
My mother told me that once you've lost someone, your moments of greatest happiness will also always be your moments of greatest sadness. For in those moments of tremendous joy we will remember the person we cannot share it with. With each day that brought me closer to my wedding, I was engulfed with the pain of not having my father to walk me down the aisle. Every little girl's dream and it could never be mine. I wanted the impossible. I wanted my father back.
This necklace is the first gift my father ever gave my mother. It has no monetary value. After my father died, my mother gave this necklace to me and I have worn it almost every day for over 30 years. I was wearing it on my wedding day. The Rabbi came in to see me before the ceremony, as it is tradition that the Rabbi be the one to place the veil over the bride's face. He saw the necklace and insisted I remove it. He explained that tradition dictates that the bride not wear any jewelry. I wanted to respect the Rabbi's wishes, he was a good man, he had officiated at my father's funeral and had stayed close to our family. He watched as I removed the necklace and set it aside. He placed the veil over my face and left the room. I heard the music begin to play. I had only a moment before it was my turn. I picked up the necklace and tucked it down the front of my gown, close to my heart. One way or another, my father was going to walk me down the aisle. And I'd like to believe that somehow he did.
Memory Walk 2011 is coming soon. This September, thousands of people, all across the country, will walk together with a common cause; fighting dementia. People walk for many different reasons and it would be great to have your support for Memory Walk 2011.
"My mum had Alzheimer's so I know how devastating its impact can be - not only on the person who has been diagnosed but also on their family and friends.
Alzheimer's Society helps families and friends enjoy their time together so that they can share their happy memories for as long as possible. That's why I am encouraging you to take part in Memory Walk 2011"
Lynda Bellingham
Memory Lapses are temporary installations I photograph to revisit places linked to strong memories, past or recent.
By overexposing reflective material in the process, data becomes absent from the digital file, creating an empty zone in the image that alters reality and distorts our perception : like time and distance do.

A fair portion of my Christmas decorations seems to be "art" my kids have created over their elementary school years (with the definite help of their teachers since my kids are as craft-challenged as I am, LOL).

It's funny how music can bring back memories, and so vividly. They can give you goose bumps and raise your heart, but they can also take you down. Selene likes listening to her mother's old gramophone, it takes her back to a time before she was born...

الله ولابعض العلوم اللي تضيق بها الصدور
ضاقت صدور طبعها صعب ٍ يبيح سدها
المؤمنه بان الزمن طبعه على العالم يدور
واللي كسبها اليوم بعده مادرى وش مدها
لايأمن الدنيا ولايحسب مقابيل الشهور
تخفي الليالي غيبها وتضد ماحد ٍ ضدها
حتى الاوادم لو تعلو في المباني والقصور
لابد من يوم يجيها يومها ويهدها
لوكان للدنيا بقاءٍ كان ماجو في القبور
الانبياء لكن عمار وصلت لي حدها
ياللي تحسب انك معلم والرجال بهم قصور
لاواسعد الله ان لك عيون مبصره وتلدها
حتى تعرف ان لك عيوب جمعها زايد كسور
عيوبك اولى من عيوب الناس ياخي بدها
اسمع نصيحة شاعر ٍ ماغرته دنيا الدبور
لاتستهين بعالم ًياخوك منت بقدها
خلك معا العالم طبيعي لايغيرك الظهور
مع عالم ٍ شفنا هزلها قام يسبق جدها
يالله دخيلك لايجي لي حاجة ٍ عند معثور
وان كان جالي حاجة ٍ فانت الكريم وسدها
ياقاضي الحاجات تقضي حاجة العبد الشكور
وليا عطيت الحاجه فماحد ٍ يروم يردها
يامنزل راعي الكبر والطيش واصحاب الغرور
رحماك ياللي لك فضائل ماستطيع اعدها
ارحم وسامح ياكريم الوجه في يوم النشور
واعداءنا ياذا الجلال الواحد انك تلدها .
الشاعر : جابر بن ناصر

"All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments,
Imagine you being here.
All of my memories keep you near,
In silent whispers, silent tears" ~ Memories by Within Temptation
Wearing bridal gown is always a memorable occasion but even more so when the gown is one that has been gifted to you be a dear friend and then even more so when worn in the surroundings at Chateau Femme
Em Tudo quanto Olhei Fiquei em Parte
Tudo que cessa é morte, e a morte é nossa
Se é para nós que cessa. Aquele arbusto
Fenece, e vai com ele
Parte da minha vida.
Em tudo quanto olhei fiquei em parte.
Com tudo quanto vi, se passa, passo,
Nem distingue a memória
Do que vi do que fui.
Ricardo Reis, in "Odes"
(Heterónimo de Fernando Pessoa)
A westbound commuter pulls in to Fairview with a midday train. I grew up about a mile north of Fairview (in fact I still live there) and so the throaty sound of units are etched in my memory. Believe me, Metra’s F40’s do not sound the same!
