In remembrance of the great quake that ravaged Japan on March 11th of last year, I will be posting a series of shots taken as I was about to exit the country.
Although this was a tragic moment, it still deserves a place in everyone's memories.
To remind us that things are never too certain.
So I'm sharing mine...

We arrived at the Armenian cathedral in the middle of an event commemorating and affirming the Armenian genocide of 1915. I assume the flags represent the countries that have acknowledged the genocide.
A fairly large crowd had gathered to hear the speeches and support the protest against genocide deniers.

This was the scene from my front door in 2003 when the Cedar Fire struck. My heart goes out to all the victims and people in San Diego who are feeling the wrath of this current firestorm

A 250-mile running challenge ‘Run to Remember’ ended on at Manchester’s Sportcity on Friday 4th of April.
Police officers and staff from across the country raised an estimated £100,000 for charity running in the memory of Greater Manchester Police officer Nicola Hughes.
The challenge saw 1,800 officers from run two miles-a-day for 125 days.
Nicola and her colleague PC Fiona Bone were killed while investigating a suspected burglary in Hattersley, Tameside in 2012.
Friday saw hundreds of officers and staff running the final two-mile leg around the Manchester Regional Arena.
Nicola's father Bryn, who organized the challenge said: “It has been fantastic, the turnout and determination has been amazing.
“It has been so overwhelming – at times you cannot describe it. The amount of support we have had has just been overwhelming,
"I wanted to do something positive to remember Nicola by. The biggest motivation is making sure people remember Nicola and remember what sort of person she was."
The money raised will go to the charities Care of Police Survivors, the North West Police Benevolent Fund and Victim Support.
Bryn added: “I want to do something that Nicola would have been proud of me for and I also want to raise money for the three charities that have helped us so much during this time and will probably continue to help us for a great deal longer,"
Bryn’s next challenge is to run a marathon at the North Pole.

Fruit cake with cheese and a glass of port ('port wine') at Christmastide is an old tradition in my family. The glass is one of a set that my grandparents used annually for this purpose in the first half of the 20th century. The cake in this picture is not christmas cake as such, it is an Irish tea bread made by me to Delia Smith's recipe.

This is one of the thousands of white ribbons with the message "Remember to Love" that were tied to the gate of this church, beside the World Trade Center site (Ground Zero). Many had also chosen to include a personal message on the ribbons.

I remember honoring my uncle Richard in my younger days, he was killed on Thanksgiving Day in Viet Nam the same year I was born. I remember honoring all those who passed before in the the Korean, WWII, WWI and the Civil War.
As I grew older, we started to honor the Peace Officers, Firefighters and relatives and friends, too. But, I have to say, even after honoring those in the first Gulf War, the one event that changed the way I realize the true significance of what Memorial Day is all about would have to be the one- seemingly, normal day of 9/11/2011. But, normal it would never be again. Since 9/11, the sacrifice of those lost in that day of National Tragedy, and the thousands lost since then in Afghanistan and Iraq really have given my heart and soul a sense what the day is all about. This photo is my expression of my feelings of my observance to all those lost, those who served and those who do still stand that post. God Bless America and Amen.
A series of shots dedicated to the Dannee and Sam\Sanguine first so called “Night to Remember” something that Dannee indeed always to remember the first and only evening when that mysterious Sam challenged her into contest and his brew her so drunk that her memory of whole night was like erased… until recently when with some unexpected “help” she remembered everything…
Everything about their romantic rendezvous was perfect - the jokes, their travel to misty Grove, where Dannee in attempt to refresh jumped into waterfall and how Sam carried her back, gave her a new dress, then the dancing and the romantic atmosphere, when it was just two of them, two people enjoying themselves, free from responsibilities, doubts and fears at least for a while.
However those joking words of Sam about Dannee losing her dress to an uneven battle with the dirt, that kind compliment about her looking like a golden dragoness in her new scaled dress turned darker as his sympathy and tenderness vanished to savage desire, those moments he never spoke with her about of finally revealed… As his darker lustful side emerged with her immense fear what it might lead too… Dannee managed to soothe his fierce desire in other way then being defiled but for her it has been humiliation, then came the fear and almost despair when she realized she wasn't in Skyrim, but in Oblivion, at the mercy of the Daedric Prince, realizing that she truly didn't know who that mysterious Sam was and trusted him so easily but before she could further torment herself he found her.
He didn’t know what to say, she looked so lost and sad, such a contrast to him. It has been so long he felt himself so happy… she gave him such intense satisfaction he didn’t feel for years, like tidal wave, drowning out anything else in the world. It felt so raw and intimate and personal, even more intimate than if he had taken her. He should have been touching her too, take her to his home, to his bed, he thought guiltily, he should be offering her pleasure in return and giving her the comfort and touch she so desperately needs. But he was drunk and everything was happening all at once, the sensations so overwhelming and new that they destroyed any possibility of coherent thought at that time… But it wasn’t only physical satisfaction, she made him happy even by her company. He felt something coiled lazily deep inside him, something that’s just waiting to be given a chance, and here he is, giving it a chance. He’s letting someone in. But apparently Dannee had different opinion… He tried to comfort her until he realized it would no good, he still could make it up for her, make her smile again, make her really happy but first thing was to erase this whole evening from her mind, because it seems no matter what he will say will help her now, nothing but something like spell, that would not be strong enough to erase her entire memory of the night, but it would suffice in blurring it enough to make her second guess its truth, perhaps labeling it as just another unbidden fantasy without anything that may hurt her feelings…
One magic trick and Dannee found that she was at some new magical looking place with her friend, Sam who looked at her with something like affection, like he craves so much more than her touch and company, like he craves her more than anything else in the entire world…
“Why do you look at me like this, Sam?” The last thing she remembered how he brought her here to breathe a fresh air…
“It is just… you made me so happy, and you are so beautiful, dearie, body and soul.”

I took this bridal photo of my daughter several years ago with a 6x7cm Mamiya RB67 film camera. I have since lost the negative. While visiting my daughter yesterday I re-photographed the framed 20x24 print with my iPhone. (BTW, a tornado came by a few years ago and destroyed the tree that is above her!)
Remembering some lovely dolls which were exposed at "Blythe in Vigo", last year.
I just loved them all! ❤️ Can't wait for 2018 Convention! Almost there! 😃😉
