Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

Oh dear...I am so sorry. I know how it feels to lose a loved cat friend after so many years. I am sure Sophia has a spot of her own in your heart forever. Be sure she feels good now! Have to tell yo about my friend, who lost he loved collie the day before Christmas. her name was Gry. A few nights later she woke up hearing the guitar in he corner playing two tones several times. She went up to look at children and pets, but all were asleep. She went back to bed and after a while she felt someone buffing her, just he way Gry did. Then she got a message. Gry told her to find an old CD that the children loved 4-5 years before, she also got the track number she should put on. My friend went up, dressed and went out to the car where the old CD was, went in and played the track she had been told. Guess what! It was a song that just on and on repeated the words: I am so happy, happy, happy, I amd so glad because I am so content and so on. She felt such a love filling the room, knwing the Gry, who was so old that her legs could not bear her weight any longer, was so happy where she was now. So dear...just think of that Sophia's beautiful green eyes is sparkling with new life in another dimension.

Such a gentle face. She had a nurturing personality, didn't she? And it would seem she gave as much as she received. How sad it is she is gone and I imagine she leaves a tender emptiness in everyone she touched in her 18 years.

Excellent photo.

She looks a lot like our cat, Smokey, who died several years ago at the age of 16 1/2. Sadness at losing a long-time companion is to be expected, but what more can you ask for in this world than a long & happy life? All things must pass...

I am very sorry to hear of your pet's passing. We had to put our beloved dog Elsa to sleep the week before Christmas this year, so I know how painful it can be to let them go. Sophia looks like a beautiful, happy and gentle cat and your picture of her is a lovely tribute.
