October Squares

one of a kind

My mother sadly died 25 years ago this month – had she lived she would have just turned 101. This photo of her was probably taken when she was in her mid twenties and looking very happy, smiling for the photographer.  It was probably sent to her then fiancé, my father, who was serving in the RAF as an Air-Sea Rescue medical officer. Of course the original photo was not given the pop art treatment – this is very much one of a kind.

KindaSquare is the theme this month as Becky is hoping we might, in the final squares of 2020, encourage and promote kindness.  A year I don’t think any of us will forget in a hurry. If you would like to join in then visit the link – you can always post 31 squares tomorrow!

And thanks once again to our wonderful host, the gorgeous Becky, who must have square eyes by now!

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  5. Memories are great and photography is a wonderful aid to keeping them alive. I love that you felt able to play around with this image and give us a picture of your mother that is both intimate and playful. I love what you’ve done.

  6. From what you’ve said, my mother was born one year before yours, though she lived to be only 70. If you’ll forgive the mathematical intrusion, it’s curious that the number of years ago your mother died is 5 to the power 2, while the number of years ago my mother died is 2 to the power 5. Either way, we still miss our mothers.
