Our son, Vyeshka, passed away on February 15, 2019. He was with us for fourteen-plus years. This is him at only one year old.
Although he left the physical world four years ago, his spirit remains with us. He, along with his sister, Byelka, who preceded him in death, watch over those who loved them.
Valentine’s Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on those around us we hold dear. This includes fellow humans as well as other forms of life. Those we love are treasures in our vast world. One of my Valentines took this picture in a flower garden a while back. Nothing shouts “LOVE” like these flowers and waterfall.
I took this picture while walking in a park. The park featured a wetland habitat with ponds, marshes, and lush shrubs. Even though it was wintertime, fabulous colors graced this bountiful landscape.
This pretty hummingbird was zipping around a wetland pond for quite some time. Finally, it settled in a shrub, so I was able to capture this picture. I love the feather colors!
