“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
partner and i went to the his mother's grave to put a new flower arrangement. we came home and i had a terrible headache that i'm trying to resist but i'm not winning. i hope it's not flu or something. so i will catch up with your albums tomorrow when i get better. thank you, my friends.
great theme shots this week, vikki! cool road trip you took! i like those! great opportunities for pics. the truck shot is very nice - i like the perspective. i have a trillium pin around somewhere similar to yours - i love our provincial flower. you've been very kind to partner's mom and that's nice. hope you're feeling better by now.
Lovely comp here, summerfield ...you've been very busy again, I can see. You are so kind ...hope that you're feeling better soon. Definitely hope that it's not the flu. Take care and don't worry about catching up. I did put my "partner" up on site tonight. What a laugh we had doing this together ... I'd rather starve than do portrait photography for a living.
I think this looks like a lake at sunset. The ripples reflecting the golden hour. I love the poem and I hope your headache goes and wander away and gets lost.
@karenann - thank you, KA. i've seen 'hub's' portrait. i like it!
@pandorasecho - thank you, dixie. ah, the mind of a writer is always rife with excellent ideas!
@steeler - thank you, howard. much appreciated.
@sarasdadandmom - thank you, terry, but that was JRR tolkien! :-) although i wish i came up with that myself.
