memory... Bird is the Word

good morning.. spring is here in oz and it is so welcome in my heart that is for sure..! a new month, and new challenges..  the latest one i have done is at http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-28th-new-challenge-word-memory.html and it is to use the word MEMORY..when i see the word for the challenge, i often think of a quote.. i love quotes and there are zillions of them on the net.. then when i have the quote i think of the photo.. well i saw a quote a while ago and it reduced me to tears... and when something touches your emotions then it is very special.. so i have used a very special photo of my husbands Mothers parents.. his grandparents..  i guess i didn't get to really  know them but what i knew about them was they were beautiful people who cherished their family and welcomed everyone with love.. and are so very dearly missed.. so the quote i have used is... when someone you love becomes a MEMORY, that MEMORY becomes a treasure...i am sure we all have someone who is now very treasured in our hearts...

    What a beautiful quote....I'm with you, there are some that are just very moving and meaningful. I love the photo, it is such a classic look, I can remember my dad wearing just his singlet...such an Ozie thing. And your page...it's beautiful, rich in colour and beautifully textured with all those lovely layers of flowers. xx
