Floral Tribute


Just thought that I’d share a handful of the hundreds of photos I’ve taken of some of the flowers from Dad’s funeral last week. For some reason I particularly like the ones which appear to have sunlight raining down on them.

The photos also indicate that my creativity is returning, slowly but surely, as I spent hours the other day – very good, enjoyable hours I must add – arranging them for each photograph. At least this way, the flowers will last a lot longer and be a more permanent floral tribute to Dad.

I shall be returning to the Blogosphere very soon, so brace yourselves for when my nonsense / drivel and other posts of a random nature resume once again. However, in the meantime, please remember to Feel Good!

See you soon!

    Good to hear from again TL…Glad things are getting creative again and you have seen your father off in a wonderful way. Those pictures will always mean a great deal to you. I am glad you are still in one piece and maintaining some sanity. It takes a while for a broken heart to heal so take your time. We will love having you back but only when you are really ready. Gentle peace to you my friend…VK xx

      Thanks once more, VK.
      I think finding rather than maintaining some sanity would be closer to the truth… but then again… let’s see where my posts take me / us when I return…
