remembering the Poppies.
Tue, 11 Nov 2025
Poppy Day is on November 11th because this is Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of World War I. An armistice was signed on that day in 1918, which stopped the fighting at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The day is a tribute to all those who have died in service since then, with the poppy becoming a symbol of remembrance due to the flowers that grew on the battlefields of WW1.
Remembering what they stood for.

Yet, remember me if I go far away.
If old love gets tangled in meshes of new love,
If I stay close yet you cannot discern
If I exist or not, still remember me.
If tears dangle between eyelids,
If the play ends once in sweetness of night,
Yet, remember me.
If chores are stuck in an autumn morn,
Remember me.
Even in remembrances if eyes do not glisten
Yet, remember me.
Friends, I share a few lines of Tagore as transliterated by my partner, before I take leave.
Yes, leaving tonight for a long trek in the Himalayas. I'll meet you all again on June 21.
With love and best wishes !! And, surely a twilight capture of Mt. Thalaysagar and Mt. Bhrigupanth from the bank of Kedartal. Garhwal Himalayas, India
The war memorial at Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire. The Celtic Cross was put in place to remember those from the local area who had died or gone missing during WW1. It will soon be time across the UK to remember those who gave their lives in conflicts across the globe. Be sure to spare a minute..
This is how I like to remember Conrail, Train PICA on the ex Reading Lebanon Valley Branch coming through Hershey. I used to walk across that cat walk in the background to reach the bean silo's where I worked on the top floor, I would bring my scanner to work & watch trains every chance I could get. The catwalk across the tracks was removed some years back, the Silo's still stand today but unfortunately are no longer in use as chocolate production has moved up the street to a new state of the art facility.
I like that once summer is over, I'll have all these pictures to remember it by when I'm cold and the winter darkness seems to last forever. It's important to always have hope for the next spring and summer. :)
If I tell you my favorite color
And not be able to see it
Will you describe it to me
And always remember
If you hear the word I use the most
And I become forgetful
Will you speak it
And always remember
If I kiss you
And distance comes between us
Will you kiss me back
And always remember
If I don’t know the answer
And my mind reaches its limit
Will you help me find it
And always remember
If I am lost in this world
And can’t find my way
Will you get lost with me
And always remember
… my love.

I have not personally know etva,
I do not know anything about her
except what emerges from his images ....
yet, by visiting his photostream
I have taken a great sadness....
Lately he had taken to support my works
and now it seems so strange his absence.
I met etva elaborating its image under
"winter trees" as the Source Image for the Kreative People
and I wanted to greet her with a new processing
the same image
Thank you Beth
This photo struck a chord with me and made me think of an old song by Skid Row.
Maybe you know the song:
I Remember You
Song by - Skid Row
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried that called my name
And when you needed me I came through
I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
Oh, whoa
We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said, "I love you, babe," without a sound
I said, "I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss"
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all, we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Oh-oh-oh, oh
We woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
And through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember you"
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands, I remember you
Through all the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say, "I remember, I remember you"
Yeah, oh yeah

Que porqué la primera vez es la mejor? Porqué es la que se recuerda.... Quien lo sabe....
Esta es mi primera Via Láctea y aún recuerdo el día.
Animal lovers know the pain of losing a beloved nonhuman family member. We mourn, we remember, and we move on. However, sometimes an animal companion leaves an indelible mark on our souls, a hole in our hearts that can't be filled. Chloe was such. She chose us that day in the shelter, she sassed her way into our hearts, gave each of us love (and a piece of her mind when she felt it was warranted). I've been blessed with many animal companions through the years, as has my husband. And we both agree that none have made such an impression, left such a mark, as our loving, smart, sassy tabby, Chloe. We were blessed the day she entered our lives.
It's the 3rd anniversary of her passing and we love and cherish her memory.
Chloe, forever in our hearts.
Thanks to all for viewing, faving and/or commenting! Much appreciated! L
We've hit the late autumn "gray" in Michigan, so that leads me to looking back at brighter days, like this one at Dow Gardens in Midland, MI, summer, 2024. I miss the greater prevalence of butterflies and hope those days return, too.
Have not been out photographing in a couple of weeks, it is so cold here! Looking back over some of my fall shots and missing the colors. This was taken just as the sun came up over the horizon in the San Juan Mountains.
IL MAESTRO GIUSTO
C'era una volta un cane
che non sapeva abbaiare.
andò da un lupo a farselo spiegare,
ma il lupo gli rispose
con un tale ululato
che lo fece scappare spaventato.
Andò da un gatto, andò da un cavallo,
e - mi vergogno a dirlo -
perfino da un pappagallo.
Imparò dalle rane a gracidare,
dal bove a muggire,
dall'asino a ragliare,
dal topo a squittire,
dalla pecora a fare « bè bè »,
dalle galline a fare coccodè.
Imparò tante cose,
però non era affatto soddisfatto
e sempre si domandava
(magari con un « qua qua »...):
- Che cos'è che non va?
Qualcuno gli risponda, se lo sa.
Forse era matto?
O forse non sapeva
scegliere il maestro adatto?
(Gianni Rodari)
NOI IL MAESTRO GIUSTO LO ABBIAMO AVUTO...
DI FOTO; MA ANCHE DI VITA....
grazie GIGI...
As we move away from those summer days in Australia, we're still experiencing a lovely Indian Summer in Melbourne with very warm Autumn days.

"Life changes as we're having dinner."
It's an expression I've heard over the years
and eventually understood it by experiencing it.
It's shocking the first time it happens. We somehow adjust.
And then, again, our lives change. We adjust over and over.
And now we have a pandemic, Covid-19, and this, too, shall pass. And we will hopefully return to what will be our new normal . Maybe we'll be a bit softer, not so angry,
not so opinionated in our political beliefs,
not so hateful with our words.
Maybe, just maybe, we won't take our everyday comforts for granted.
Hopefully we'll come to see a dawning of a new world,
one where harmony and good will towards those who hold different beliefs will reign...
and let it begin with me.
Hallelujah!

San Jose NM, mid-1950s . That's my great-grandpa Sam, WW1 vet. He was very much loved and is fondly remembered by many many people some 30 years after his death. He made homemade wine, and I'm guessing that's what's in the cup. He had a small ranch with horses in San Jose (at junction of Santa Fe Trail and Pecos River). That's my mom he's holding. She's still around, being my mommy:). I wish that Ford was in my driveway. Thanks for looking!
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.
I am still experimenting with AI in combination with my own photos. In this one the woman was created in DDG and then used as the input image for Wombo to create two photos which were merged. Elements from my own photos were included and everything was further manipulated in both Topaz and Photoshop.
