The one-l Lama,

he's a priest

(Hello Dalai).

The two-l llama,

he's a beast

(often melancholy).

And I will bet

a silk pajama

there isn't any

three-l llama,

(he’s extinct).

Paint containers at Macduff shipyard.

Last week sometime, there was some activity on an old photo from a few years back. So I went to the photo and looked at some of the contacts and saw a name of a lady I had not seen in my stream for some time.

So I visited her stream to see what she had been up to knowing that sometimes people just stop posting for some reason or another. Someone commented that she had passed away and I immediately felt saddened. I realize that we have only small relationships here. But I do know some small things about my contacts and what you like to shoot and basically where you live.

I was upset with myself for having forgotten her or not noticing. I have been bothered all week that a year or more have gone by and I wish I had of known.

Yet her stream is there. This I love.

For a smile with perhaps a tear
