Thank you for the kind words.
Went to a funeral today, said goodbye to a great woman (my aunt) who knew how to find a smile no matter what knocks life threw at her. Her knocks were some of worst kind of knocks you could imagine in life but she would just pick herself up and get on with making the most of her time on earth. She also experienced the best things in life. Blessed with friends and extended family, she was always looking out for the welfare of others. The crematorium was packed, no hymns were sung, instead many memories were shared and all around tears and laughter were flowing. A great send off for a great woman.
So photo opportunities were pants. Didn't seem appropriate to take pictures during the day. My aunt would have smiled, that's Karen doing the thing she loves, if I had gone chasing photographs of the squirrels or other strange things in the garden. Not sure her friends and extended family would have understood though.
So, before I post I have to apologise, I only snapped a picture of myself when I got home. It wasn't a good picture but, taking a leaf from my aunt's book, I just picked it up and made the most of it, using post processing software!! You gotta smile at life and not take it so seriously, it's all gone before you know it!
