Winter Sunrise

Snow Beautiful 1200 WM

~*~

Winter holds its own beauty. And yes, it can be cold.

It was -10C when I stepped out to capture this and many other glorious moments one morning this past week. Thawing was unpleasant, but I was buoyed by the results of half an hour communing with this beautiful winter sunrise.

Thanks for visiting …

Lest We Forget

Posted on November 9, 2019 by ShakespearesGal

Lest We Forget 1200

In memory of

Sergeant Archibald Don Gordon, Royal Canadian Air Force,

405 Squadron

Served as flight engineer on a Halifax bomber which was shot down over the
Bay of Biscay.

Deceased. April 1943

Age 21

Veterans Affairs Canada

Archie Gordon

Archie was a happy Scottish lad. One of seven children who immigrated to northern Alberta with their parents in the early 1920s as part of the Soldiers Settlement Act. His father was a proud member of the Black Watch and had served proudly.

Archie had a keen sense of humour and was a true friend to his sister Alice, my grandmother, who felt his loss deeply.

If you want peace, be peace. This is the best way to honour the memories of those who gave their lives that we might live in peace times.

Thanks for visiting.

This morning I am reminded that life is fragile. That every moment is a moment into which we must pour our entire heart and believe we are more than we know.

If not this moment … when?
