Time, separates us from the lessons learned a generation or more ago. We do well, however, not to forget those lessons, for they are too horrible to repeat. I know that Remembrance Day was 3 days ago, but, sometimes, I just gotta go with the flow. I didn't forget, just ran out of time. A big thank you to those who sacrificed their lives, time with family, and their futures.
To all those poor souls from every nation who suffered and died in the trenches of the first world war. So that we shall always remember.
From November 11 (UK rememberance day, Armistice de la Première Guerre mondiale in France) to November 19 (German Volkstrauertag), this week is dedicated to remembering the dead of the First World War. I’ll try doing a photographic equivalent showing places of commemoration to the dead of the great war from 1914 to 1918 from the Württemberg region I live. Though monuments here are naturally dedicated to German soldiers, we should commemorate the dead of every nation that fought the great war.
This piece of glass is one that I remember well from my childhood. My mother tried to sell it in a yard sale many, many years ago but no one was interested... I'm so glad!

"Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot....."

On the anniversary of 9/11, it is a time to pause to remember the horrors of the day and those who passed on...
while walking the beach at confederation park, hamilton, we saw this little remembrance of hot sunny days at the beach amongst the autumn leaves.......
Ok... I am still backlogged from two trips ago. I went to San Antonio for work. It was HOT and HUMID. I am not used to it being from dry California. I had a chance to walk around downtown and the Riverwalk area on the last day. The Alamo seems a lot smaller in person, and I thought everything was bigger in Texas! I guess the photos can play tricks on you! It's probably how a lot of people feel when they first lay eyes upon the Moulton Barns in the Tetons.
About The Alamo: Originally known as Mission San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo is a former Roman Catholic mission and fortress. It is the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. For more information, visit the Alamo website.

Remember why Jesus was born - it was to take our sins away. What a sacrifice He made for us!

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

On September 11th 2001 i was in the 10th grade when they turned on the news, we all sat and watched what was happening, such a tragic event!
Let us remember that day, those that we lost, but also be thankful for those we have.
...remembering angels throughout my life...

10th Anniversary of 9/11 remembered at American University.
Students joined on the main quad for a moment of silence and to place the flags in the ground. One flag represents three people killed by the terrorist attacks that day.
This particular flag represents one student's lost friend.
This week's artist of inspiration (Christine Peloquin) creates wonderful backgrounds with superimposed portraits. I created this background from bits and pieces either from my stash or Google, and the image is from an advertisement for a drawing workshop. Time consuming, but challenging.

He loved to gift his creations to his friends. Kokopelli he gave to me, the bracelet he gave to my wife, the pot he gave to all of his friends and filled it with joy. He will be missed.

Remember that night
White steps in the moonlight
They walked here too
Through empty playground, this ghosts' town
Children again, on rusting swings getting higher
Sharing a dream, on an island, it felt right
We lay side by side
Between the moon and the tide
Mapping the stars for a while
Let the night surround you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
Remember that night
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burned
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave, but they're here ever after
