Now that the rest of the World catches up with Mother's Day ( we have ours much earlier this side of the English Channel / La Manche ), I would like to wish all Mothers and Mothers to be, a Happy Mothers' Day, thanking them all, for their unconditional love, in the face of all the challenges of pregnancy, birth and life long parenting. And what they often really want, especially on this day, is just a few minutes of blessed Peace and Quiet. This image offers a quiet end to the day, with just a hint of summer ahead. Thank God for you all, and may He bless you richly all of your life ... ;o) Image rendered, in a slightly different mode, in Vue 15 Complete from Eon, for a good friend and former colleague, celebrating his birthday. Still quite cold and damp outside, here in Scotland, but then I can remember snow one June .. Presently indulging myself watching DVDs of the 20 year old BBC series, Hamish Macbeth, about a city policeman desperate to keep his uncomplicated job as a Highland officer, keeping the peace in his own way, with the help of the locals.
