Thematic Photographic 177 - Your Favorites

this weeks Thematic Photographic by Carmi

is your favourites.

I looked through some pictures I too last year but still absolutely love the pictures I took 29  Dec 2010, so no they are not from 2011 but they are still from within the year.

This is the brook at the back of my property. The dogs and I spend a lot of time there

This picture is my Favorited of the set

there is a tranquillity and beauty that I can't quite explain.... I call this place my sanctuary.

Transition

Carmi's Thematic Photographic 138 - Transition

Had to think about this a little.

There are transitions that are life altering and then there are those transitions that repeat themselves.

Because of the time of year the transition from winter to spring comes to mind

Crocuses

these are the first harbinger of spring as soon as all the snow is gone in my front yard.

The other transition is from having my Son and my Mother in my life to not having them in my life.

This is the time of year i seen both of them alive for the last time when i visited with them on my Sons R&R  in Germany

Patrick's Rowan Tree

Mom

and then there are the more positive transitions...the one from being a Mother to also being a Grandmother

Life is a constant transition, some of them we just take for granted and barely notice and some stay imprinted on our consciousness forever.
