A Star of David marking the grave of a Jewish soldier, First Lieutenant Joseph J. Pugach, who died shortly after D-Day. The Normandy American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Colleville-Sur-Mer.
I was surprised to find many Stars of David interspersed among the crosses that I had seen in most photographs.
Some information about Lieutenant Pugach can be found here:

"Ghosts of all my lovely sins
Who attend too well my pillow.."
-Dorothy Parker, Rainy Night.
I'm not sure how lovely my sins have been, but some were kind of fun.
And in the end "All sweet sins shall be forgot"
Another reverse lens photo.

As we say goodbye to 2016 my friends, I'm thinking of my dear friend Essie who we all lost this past summer, I miss her so much! She made this lovely outfit for me for my birthday (which was her birthday too).
Wishing you all a safe and good new year, with love from me <3
Memorial Day was set aside to honor all those veterans who lost their lives in the Country's wars.
This particular soldier died during the American Civil War which ended in 1865, and still today, the grave gets marked with a flag! ...true honor and remembrance!
Remembering is SO important for all those that gave their lives for the benefit of us. Personally remembering my grandfather who survived World War One and my Great Uncle who sadly did not as he was killed at The Somme. We WILL Remember Them
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
Laurence Binyon "For the Fallen" extract
Today is National Cat Day - so I could put up a photo of my grandcat or my nephewcat. It is also Saturday so I could post a photo of an interesting sign, as I often do, or try the Smile on Saturday theme. But today would have been my mom's hundredth birthday. She's been gone almost twenty years, so there is both very little and very much to say...
About this photo: For many years after she died, I would go for a walk on her birthday and take photos that I thought she would like or that reminded me of her. Somehow, I got out of this remembrance - I guess it was during the hustle and bustle of moving a few years ago? It's raining hard here today, not our more normal mist. So, I'm posting an archive shot instead of a new photo. It reminds me of her and I think she'd like it.
Every photo we take is a fragment of our life which we preserve for future remembrances...
This is the harbour of Carloforte, Isola di San Pietro, south-west Sardinia.
War Memorial statue in llanberis.
This is a square pillar tapering towards the top surmounted by a cross.
Unveiled 7th October 1921.
Llanberis is a village, community and electoral ward in Gwynedd, northwest Wales, on the southern bank of the lake Llyn Padarn and at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.
The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", and promoted by Moina Michael, they were first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in that war. They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire.
Today, they are mostly used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to commemorate their servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. Poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. In Australia and New Zealand, they are also worn on Anzac Day.
A poppy to remind us that today is Remembrance day, during these trying times we honour those who fought for our democracy, human rights and equality for all.
I would like to believe that we can live up to the fact that the sacrifice of those who died for us was not in vain.
So get vaccinated people !!!
This was taken at a wartime re-enactment at a local old steam railway. The heavens opened and people ran for cover. I ended up in the platform waiting room, this chap dressed in a Home Guard uniform was stood in the doorway just gazing out into the rain.
As always, we gather in London City at 11am GMT (3am SLT) to mark the two minute silence for Remembrance Sunday.
There are stars who's light only reaches the earth long after they have fallen appart. There are people who's remembrance gives light in this world, long after they have passed away. This light shines in our darkest nights on the road we must follow. The Talmud

Smile on Saturday
Remembrance Day
Matilija Poppies are a real showstopper in late spring. With half a dozen beds planted at UCR Botanical Gardens, the tree poppies grow six to ten feet tall with large white blooms and dark green foliage. Majestic and beautiful, I look forward to these California gems return each spring.

So this is straight out of the camera, and far from my best camera. I was very pleased with the results. No textures used here.
With this awful weather we are currently enduring, I was going back over some shots I took at Healey Dell and on the end of that file I found this shot, which I took on my way back home. I hadn't processed it so I thought it was worth a post as I haven't been out this last week with the camera.
This was a Remembrance display on the cobbled bridge over the River Irwell at Ringley, near Bolton. I had seen it on the TV News around that time and as I was passing I took a quick shot. I used to live not far away when I was a young lad and it was strange returning after all these years!
