Tomorrow, 29th May, is my birthday, so here are some forget-me-nots I photographed 'down by the stream' and painted for you. I won't be around so much during the next 3-4 days, as my sons and their families are around and taking me out on 30th May, plus visiting at other, as yet unknown times. I am so lucky to have such loving sons, their lovely partners, and 4 wonderful grandchildren. It will be the first time we've seen each other for so, so long.
I haven't forgotten you - please forgive my frequent absences for a while !

Thanks so much for your understanding. I hope you have a lovely long weekend !
A stop-the-car moment as we were driving north on highway 6. The sun was peeking out under a storm front and about ten minutes later the skies opened up and drenched everything.
People come people go in this vintage one of a kind old diner in an industrial area. This gentleman blended almost a little too well. Popular and well-known this diner has been around for a very long time. The blue-collar workers lineup hungry and anxious for their fresh cooked hot meal. Some silverbacks Wander in Grab a table nurse a cup of coffee in a real mug then anxiously await their meal to then spend a whole lot more time just sitting and blending Till it’s time to disappear.
Detail from a memorial for a cyclist who was killed while riding through the countryside, placed here by his cycling team. Taken during a break in the rain. The rain started again minutes later.
Gerbera blossoms in the rain as winterly decoration.
(Not to forget these days my mother`s last rest place.)

Observed while at a cemetery for Memorial Day. This gravesite is decorated with a wooden cross, rosaries and golden Christmas ornaments.
Its been just over a year since we had to say goodbye to Wild Willy, our tamed stray stud cat. I miss his bolshy personality :)
Here he is in younger times doing what - after he was neutered - he liked best, lounging around in the sunshine.

This grave to a person whose name is not recorded on the tombstone is remembered.
Photographed at the cemetery at the Apostolic Church, Hatton Vale, Queensland.
The hurricane of last October took down the lovely, curved tree in the foreground. I am hoping that they will replant something similar, as well as restoring the waterlilies. Change is inevitable, but isn't always good.
These Japanese-made Fuller electrician's pliers served me well for about twenty years and were in good shape the entire time. In 2006 they left my possession when I replaced them with similar pliers made by Channellock in Meadville, Pennsylvania. My intention was to donate these pliers to the local Salvation Army store, but an acquaintance heard about them and offered to give them a good home.
The Channelock pliers were replaced in 2010 by a pair made by Kobalt, part of a set of tools sold at the local Lowe's Hardware and Garden store.
Meadville has meaning for me not only because it's the home of Channelock but also because I once passed through town and almost lost my leather gloves there. Losing the gloves would have been a real downer. I was riding freight trains from New Jersey to Oregon.

Two of the marble plaques list the names of those who died in World War One, the names are inscribed in black and ornate carvings run down both sides of each of the plaques. The third plaque is long and rectangular in shape with inscriptions also in black.

No snow on the ground, sunny, middle of the week...
Today felt like spring, finally!
Not long ago I got a children's book from back home, it has been sitting on my desk waiting for a day like today...calling me...
I took an afternoon off (despite all the things that had to be done) and sucked on an orange half while reading the words I have all but forgotten...
Here is a slice of today's sunshine.
Enjoy!
PJESMA DANGUBE
Pitate me sta sam radio?
Sumske jagode u grlo sadio,
Ispravljao drvecu krive sjene
I trazio dane izgubljene.
Uz put sam namotao klupko suncanih zraka
I nakupio pet kreketa od svraka,
A onda sam mjerio koliko treba trave,
Kad se izvalim, od peta do glave.

The three young owlets and their parents gave us a lot of entertainment and photo ops. But they have moved on and the godfather gave me a wink before he left.
