This ornament was from back when our daughter, Jamie was 7- they made these little reindeer at school, and it is a wonderful thing to see each year and hang on the tree. This year is five years since she passed away. I can hardly believe it- it still takes my breath away. She always helped us put up our tree and wrap presents. She loved the smell of tape. Funny girl. She made me laugh.

Missing You
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Missing you in my heart
Glow of time getting thru
All thoughts where they start
Just for me and for you
Coming together right now
Blossom’s of fall making
Each for winter´s cold brow
Within the feeling is aching
Lives twisted dreams inside
Conversing curves of days
That from your heart will hide
When there are autumn rays
Love is here never ending
Rivers that go down and deep
With every reaction blending
Some for old times to keep
Will you remember me calling?
Touching your hand with care
In days of autumn leaves falling
When I’m not with you still here
Pieces Missing
I SEE questions ever present,
And a mind that"s never sure.
I SEE doubt, ever unpleasant,
Ever wondering at the cure.
Crystal

The property at the end of the peninsula was once a beautiful victorian home and all that went with it. Sadly, the home is gone and all that is left of the pier into Carter Creek are a few support beams
"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."

Again in Zhytomir now, and though autumn is my favorite season, but this is not the autumn I love so... Maybe, that's why I miss Thiland now, especially those two days of the ocean trip...Phuket...

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy - won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Explore--my first!
-----
I miss the wildflowers, covering fields and making even the sides of the road gardens of color and joy.
I miss the cool evenings and the breeze tousling my hair.
I miss you, here, with me, tumbling about the countryside.
I miss spring.
...I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing..
[I don´t want to miss a thing- Aerosmith]
Spicebush Swallowtails,Black Tiger Swallowtails and Pipevine swallowtails all have white body spots and this fellow does not so I am quite confused as to what to call him. If I must guess, I would say Spicebush Swallowtail that has somehow lost its body spots
To me, this is the best season to visit Provence….Unfortunately, I can’t go there this year…But, every night, when I lay down on my bed, I smell it thanks to the Lavender Pillow that I’ve got from one of the smallest villages in Provence…. To the memory of my lovely Provence, I initiated a new photo series: Missing Provence. Within that project, every day I will share a photo that I took from my previous trips….to send my regards and love there…to nice people embellishing everything, to lavender soul and to its magic… Here is the 13th one… I miss you Provence… BeNowMeHere, Provence, France, 2015 via 500px bit.ly/2a3Ibym

Euromaidan (Yevromaidan, literally "Eurosquare") is a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests demanding closer European integration and culminated in a coup d'etat of the reigning Ukrainian government. The scope of the protests expanded, with many calls for the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government. Many protesters joined because of the violent dispersal of protesters on 30 November and "a will to change life in Ukraine". By 25 January 2014, the protests had been fueled by the perception of "widespread government corruption", "abuse of power", and "violation of human rights in Ukraine".
The demonstrations began on the night of 21 November 2013, when protests erupted in the capital, Kiev, after the Ukrainian government suspended preparations for signing an Association Agreement and a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, in order to seek closer economic relations with Russia. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov had asked for 20 Billion Euros (US$27) billion in loans and aid. The EU and Russia both offered Ukraine the possibility of substantial loans. Russia also offered Ukraine cheaper gas prices. On 24 November 2013, first clashes between protesters and police began. Protesters strived to break cordon. Police used tear gas and batons, protesters also used tear gas and some fire crackers (according to the police, protesters were the first to use them). After a few days of demonstrations an increasing number of university students joined the protests. The Euromaidan has been repeatedly characterised as an event of major political symbolism for the European Union itself, particularly as
"the largest ever pro-European rally in history".
The protests are ongoing despite heavy police presence, regularly sub-freezing temperatures, and snow. Escalating violence from government forces in the early morning of 30 November caused the level of protests to rise, with 400,000–800,000 protesters demonstrating in Kiev on the weekends of 1 December and 8 December. In the weeks since, protest attendance has fluctuated from 50,000 to 200,000 during organised rallies. Violent riots took place 1 December and 19 January through 25 in response to police brutality and government repression. Since 23 January several Western Ukrainian Oblast (province) Governor buildings and regional councils have been occupied in a revolt by Euromaidan activists. In the Russophone cities of Zaporizhzhya, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk, protesters also tried to take over their local government building, and have been met with considerable force from both police and government supporters.
According to journalist Lecia Bushak writing in the 18 February 2014 issue of Newsweek magazine, EuroMaidan has grown into something far bigger than just an angry response to the fallen-through EU deal. It's now about ousting Yanukovych and his corrupt government; guiding Ukraine away from its 200-year-long, deeply intertwined and painful relationship with Russia; and standing up for basic human rights to protest, speak and think freely and to act peacefully without the threat of punishment.
A turning point came in late-February, when enough members of the president's party fled or defected to lose their majority in the parliament leaving the opposition large enough to form the necessary quorum. This allowed parliament to pass a series of laws that removed police from Kiev, canceled anti-protest operations, restored the 2004 constitution, freed political detainees, and allegedly impeached the president. Yanukovych then fled to Ukraine's second largest city of Kharkiv, refusing to recognise the parliament's decisions. The parliament has assigned early elections for May 2014.

I was really missing my little brother for some reason today. He's an airman in the United States Navy. So I took a hat that he left behind and combined it with the necklace that my Mom gave me when I was 11 (I wear it everyday) . . . stuck it on my ottoman and snapped a few shots before I had to walk out the door.

With the drought conditions I sure am missing all the beautiful flowers so I thought I would post some color today! Smiles!
An ex UP SD90, missing its UP logo leads two NS GE's including a C40-9 that is missing the "Norfolk Southern" letting below the logo this side on 37T as they cross the multi-part Erie RR bridge in Elmira, NY
Seems like the final point of this building is missing - though there are plenty of others to be found at this angle ;-)
I decided to give my under-used STF-8 macro flash an airing and found this cosmos flower with a missing petal. I turned the stem around with my left hand to shoot through the gap, and a hoverfly decided to join in.

The Menin Gate Memorial to the ‘Missing’ is a war memorial in Ypres, Belgium dedicated to the commemoration of British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown.
It is a place where you become still... the sadness AND madness hits me each time...
Another big, unanswered WHY...what was it all for?
"All Wars Arise For The Possession Of Wealth" (Plato)
Following the Menin Gate Memorial opening in 1927, the citizens of Ypres wanted to express their gratitude towards those who had given their lives for Belgium's freedom. As such, every evening at 20:00, buglers from the local fire brigade close the road which passes under the Memorial and sound the Last Post. Except for the occupation by the Germans in World War II when the daily ceremony was conducted at Brookwood Military Cemetery, in Surrey, England, this ceremony has been carried on uninterrupted since 2 July 1928. On the very evening that Polish forces liberated Ypres in the Second World War, the ceremony was resumed at the Menin Gate despite the fact that heavy fighting was still taking place in other parts of the town.
The ceremony is a solemn occasion.. it cannot leave you untouched! The echo bouncing off the thousands of names, all young men, who had no life, they gave it for us... so that we could have today our biggest treasure, FREEDOM! Let's not forget.
Reginald Blomfield's triumphal arch, designed in 1921, is the entry to the barrel-vaulted passage for traffic through the mausoleum that honours the Missing, who have no known graves. The patient lion on the top is the lion of Britain but also the lion of Flanders. It was chosen to be a memorial as it was the closest gate of the town to the fighting, and so Allied Troops would have marched past it on their way to fight. Actually, most troops passed out of the other gates of Ypres, as the Menin Gate was too dangerous due to shellfire.
Its large Hall of Memory contains names on stone panels of 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Salient but whose bodies have never been identified or found. On completion of the memorial, it was discovered to be too small to contain all the names as originally planned. An arbitrary cut-off point of 15 August 1917 was chosen and the names of 34,984 UK missing after this date were inscribed on the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing instead.
The Menin Gate Memorial does not list the names of the missing of New Zealand and Newfoundland soldiers, who are instead honoured on separate memorials.
People are still coming from all over the world every day, to look for and honour the names of long lost relatives, just to see the engraved name and try and stick a poppy next, just to say: you are not forgotten...
I thank you, Magda.
