For Those Who Fought and Died ~

Red and Blue

 What would they think of their country now?

The Autumn Leaves ~

The leaves seem to be hanging on a little longer this year, just to give us some colorful cheer in these dreadful times. 

The Extraordinary ~

We lost two great personages in one week:

Queen Elizabeth II

Mikhail Gorbachev

Have Seen Him Before ~

 

 We are slowly learning to hate our enemy, Putin. 

Morning Walk ~ Urberg, Germany

 

A Nightly Visit ~

And there I was, in the old Bach choir again, not in the bass section but among the tenors now, singing away and reaching all the high notes.

 A girl hiking in the Black Forest who disappeared in October 2020 and, in spite of continued searching, has never been seen since. 

The Gift ~

Nasa

He created Earth, then turned it over to us.

On the Scene ~

Seeing to it.

Morning Walk ~ Along the Rhine

 Waldshut, Germany

Morning Walk ~ Along the Rhine

 At the Swiss border. 

Symbolism ~

How appropriate, that Putin used half of Hitler's swastika  Z as his war emblem.

They told us ~

 Everyone should be carrying a weapon . . .

No Questions Asked ~

Down around the corner from where we live in Germany, a vacant house has been made available for Ukrainian refugees who arrived here with little more than their backpacks. 

Cradle ~

Nasa

He created Earth for us to be born on.

How It is Done ~

 We stand by and watch Putin, singlehandedly, provoke World War III. 

Vladimir Putin ~

 “It is obvious that we had no other choice.”
