FSO In Remembrance

I'm flying off to Brisbane tomorrow to spend two weeks with my family.  Can't wait to see them all again and looking forward to a week at Noosa.  

This week's topic is In Remembrance, chosen by Chef E.  I'm sure there are all sorts of possible photo opportunities but once my mind goes down a certain track it is hard to get it back on the right track.  Each time I think of those two words I think of this poem.

In Memory of Marty

Scatter his ashes on the sea
And as he floats on crested wave
He wants no tears or grief
Or duty visits to his grave.....

Don't bury him beneath the ground
No cold imprisoned tomb for him
Or headstone with an earthy mound
That's not the place he'd want to be.

It's where the winds blow fresh and free
I know that he will lie content
The sea he loves his cemetery

And waves his only monument....

I remember Marty's playground so clearly.

So what photos did I come up with?   Well, there's this one, in remembrance of a fine tree.

 

And I stopped again at the little old cemetery on my way home from work.

I'm sure the rest of the team were a lot more prolific than I was.  Other things on my mind.  To see lots of great photos, just click here.
