Reflection of Mom



I took this picture a couple of years ago. Mom was asleep in the chair, with the sunlight warming her face. When I looked out the window, I saw mom's reflection superimposed over the cedar trees out front.

One Word ...



Dang.

One word says it all.
Today the new owners of "The Abandoned" are firing up the big machines ...
To chew down the building.
Soon there will be nothing left ... except memories.
And pictures.
 
Dang.
 
Linking up with Lesley's "Signs, Signs"

Abandoned Fence ...



Last week was so hard, with Dad being in the hospital after a major stroke (his prognosis is not good) ... all the running back and forth ... the stress and worry ... the grieving that comes when you have to prepare to lose someone you love ...

A bright moment in the darkness came when the abandoned church across the street was over-run with activity - an episode of the TV show "Grimm" was being filmed there.

I have never seen Grimm, but I from the sounds I heard coming from the set, I can only imagine what kind of creatures and situations they deal with! There was lots and lots of gunfire, and the occasional howling in the woods.

After 2 nights of shooting, they packed up and left.

They didn't pick up their props (like this chain link fence and barrels in the usually bare hallway) for a couple of days -
I was lucky to be able to get a couple of quick shots!

I specifically took this shot because
It's "Friday Fences" time!!!
