Chrysanthemums

White-Fronted Chats

Soulis: Gerberas and Mum Facing the Sun.

Mums are associated with these meanings: longevity, fidelity, and optimism. The orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum petals represent perfection

However, despite their beauty, pink mums are still associated with funerals and the afterlife.

These baby sparrows sat and waited until their mum came with some bugs for them to eat.

Rich is my Mum's guard. He was a tiny puppy when my Son rescued him from sending to Sailors Academy. Noone wanted take him home as he was mixed breed and in addition one eye was brown and other was blue. My Son took him to the countryside where my Mum and Sister live and told them puppy's story. Sister is a nurse and she is away all day, the same Sister's Husband- that time he still worked as mechanic in a bus park. And then my Mum said: I will take care of him....

This friendship lasts until this day. Rich now is my Mum's guard❤️

I have a pot of fall!

I have such a cruel mind.. =(

My mum hated being photographed but could not escape the cameras for her big 80th Birthday 4 years ago. I took this just before we went to join a big family restaurant dinner.

Mum's health had deteriorated rapidly over the past year or so but her passing is, as far as we know, unrelated. It is sudden and unexpected. She was found collapsed at home two days ago and has been treated for sepsis in the hospital resus department until she passed peacefully last night.

Being 300 miles away and due to the pandemic and me being very ill myself at the moment, I haven't been able to see my mum. In fact I haven't seen her for 2 1/2 years thanks to Covid. I spoke with her twice a week for the whole pandemic up until the last few months where it has been just once a week. Last time I spoke she was fine - well, no more unwell than usual.

I have sobbed these past two days but at the moment I am numb. Completely shocked. Empty. I'm not sure if I will take a Flickr break or if I will keep up the routine. I am not sure of anything.

I thank you all for your support and understanding. Please keep your loved ones close and your dearest loved ones even closer.

Lizzi is the oldest of my cats. She's always been very charismatic and always got her way with everyone. That's why I eventually nicknamed her Queen Mother. She feels recognized by her new name and is very comfortable in her role. Even the dogs acknowledge her dominance.

This bloom reminds me of a large daisy, but it's a fall-blooming chrysanthemum.

Mum is not happy, she is telling me to go away.

A bird that is very difficult to spot amongst the pebbles until it moves is the ringed plover.

Fortunately mum was busy trying to distract me whilst this little fella did it's best to hide
