Lakescape - 436 (Podiceps cristatus)

My mother passed away at
5 am today ...

Though she had a chronic
progressive neurological problem ...
and was bed-ridden for
more than ten years ...
... she had a most peaceful
and quiet passage ... merging with
the cosmic spirit imperceptibly
... painlessly ... without a
single sigh or cry ...

With three generations of our
family and both her daughters in law at her bedside
... praying for her ...

Posting a GCG image
after five years

A winter Grebe here ...

Taken just before
Sunset ...

Direction of light was
bad ... and bird
far away ...

but ... that little
turn of head ... looking
into the setting sun ...
... and those gems of
water droplets ...
... ensured that not
all was lost ...

Even this grebe seems to be crying ...
Of course, it would be even sadder if no one were sad. Condolences to you and your family.
