"Capricorn Moon"
How peculiar
To feel so out of place yet
In nature, at home...
© 2024 Pamela MacCarthy
The full moon was glorious last night,

to have witnessed it...
Happy Summer, all!

"Clementines, Shamrocks, and the Light"
To my dear mother:
Rest easy and be sure to
save me a good seat...
© 2024 Pamela MacCarthy
My lovely mother, Shirley, has recently passed away,
she was 88.
She had been in the care of my sisters
Wendy and Bonnie, since her stroke about 3 years ago.
She has taught me so many things
from my childhood to her last day,
that will stay with me all my life.
I will miss her blue eyes and sense of humor,
she passed both, to me.
For my son Michio, I'm sure he will always remember the spectacular summers
we spent with her and my step-dad, Al,
also joined by my 3 sisters, Debra, Wendy and Bonnie,
and their families.
As an artist, when emotion overtakes me,
I create, or think of creating.
I take a walk in nature and let it work its magic-
It helps me to process emotions that are too hard
to cope with...
So today some photos,
and a music playlist,
in gratitude and love for my mother, Shirley...
