Remembering

This is a poetic meme I did soon after my husband passed. It was coming to autumn and most of the summer flower had wilted. Leaves were falling from the trees and I was taking a walk. I remembered some of the country roads we enjoyed taking a walk on and was taking a roundabout walk where one road took me all around to another road that would take me right to my garden gate. I had my camera with me but did not expect to see too much to take photos of at that time of the year. Suddenly I so a sure sign the Martin was thinking of me there along the road was the beautiful and bright yellow flower you see in the photo. All around it there were piles of autumn leaves and it alone was there and still blooming. I returned home with a photo and a huge smile on my face.

@Tampa_girl7 just wondering what kind of flower that was. I looked at that photo now and don't know what it might be but then perhaps and I believe in this it was not really per se any kind of flower but more a symbol I was meant to see. The route I took we had walked back in July and in August he was gone and this was in mid-September,

@RasmaSandra I see an over abundant amount of yellow and orange butterflies since my mama passed and I feel her strongly when I see them.

@just4him since everything was heading toward autumn he also made it bright yellow or with all the leaves piling around in various dark colors I might have not even noticed the flower,

@RasmaSandra - We know when we receive "messages" from those we loved. I am so glad you could take a photo of this bright flower.

@LadyDuck I totally agree and made it bright yellow for me to see, If it had been a dark red or orange flower with all the leaves piling up I might not have even noticed,

@snowy22315 it certainly did, Imagine walking along a dirt road and the tops of the trees already bare and you feel kind of sad and suddenly this flower,

It is good to be able to connect to something like that, and to know that it is a personal message to you, from your husband.
