Welcome to Week 135 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  No, you didn’t miss the round up of last week’s theme of Trio; it will be a day or two late, as I’m trying to catch up on my photo processing of a charity event for the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress that I photographed this weekend.

As I looked at some of your entries for last week’s triple threat of fun, I know that you’ll be entertained by the results!!  For this week’s theme, I’m leaning in a direction that is driven by personal events of the past week, as our oldest dog, Bette, passed away last Tuesday.  This led me to the theme of Memories, which I will revisit this week in a post with memories of Bette.

In your interpretation of this theme, feel free to use your creative minds and share any memories that you would like of the kind of your choosing.  Don’t hesitate to go for the whimsical!

Here’s an interpretation to get you going…

Remembrance

This poppy was one of several that I captured during our visit to Ostia Antica last year; there were many that grew among the amazing ruins in the excavation of Ostia Antica, which is an incredible site to visit.  This entire locale is filled with memories from times long gone by, as it gives an indelible impression of life during Roman times.

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

Can’t wait to see what triplets will grace your posts!

  1. Oh Frank, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hurt for anyone who loses a beloved pet.
    We met up with a lady yesterday who we had got friendly with shortly after we arrived here and she was walking a young cock-a-poo. Apparently her dog died at the beginning of the month. He was 14 and blind, and we had seen him struggling on his walks a little while ago, but she never pushed him. This little pup, Pippa, has found a good home with her.

    1. Thank you so much. These moments are always difficult, even though we know to expect them. This is the first time in 15 years that we have only 2 dogs in our pack, but those 2 are making up for that with lots of play and noise 🙂

      1. I expect they will find it strange though.

    We are so sorry for your loss Frank and I am sure your home and heart will be filled with wonderful memories. Happy memories that Bette will take with her on her next journey too. Run free sweet girl 🌈💗

    1. Thank you very much, Xenia. It was a tough decision, but it was good to let her go, as she had not been doing well for a while.

  3. Aw, so sorry for your loss, Frank – treasure the wonderful memories, Bette was fortunate to be loved so well. XX

    1. Thank you very kindly, Shelley!

  7. […] One of the big tourist sights of Shanghai is the Ming-era (16th century) Yu garden. Looking through my photos I realize that I’ve been there in two seasons; once in late spring, 6 May 2015, and once in early winter, 2 November 2018. Did I find it worth visiting twice? In one sense this is a silly question, because gardens are always nice places to spend your time. But we were in Shanghai for only a day; so was it worth going into a garden which was still alive in my memory? […]

  8. I’m so sorry about Bette. I am sure she had a wonderful life with you, and I am looking forward to seeing your memories.

    1. Thank you very much. Even though it was time, it is still difficult to make that decision and see her go.

    1. Thank you very kindly, Xenia. The remaining two dogs, Bean and Stuff, don’t appear much affected. I expect that Bean, who is 5, already knew what was going on with Bette; Stuff tried to play with her, which Bette did enjoy.

      1. That is lovely to hear, it sounds as if Bean and Stuff both understand in their own way 💜

  13. So sorry for your loss, Frank. It is never easy.
    I’m sharing my own bit of memories, mellowed by sweetness and time, for memories – even of sorrow – can often hold gratitude for the gift of a full heart. Thank you for this soul-filled prompt!

    1. Thank you very much, Na’ama. Your post is touching and wonderful!

      1. Thanks, Frank! They were both wonderful women who touched many people’s lives, each in her own way. I was lucky to know them.

  14. So very sorry for your loss. They are family and carry many memories.

  18. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Bette, Frank. It is so difficult to lose a beloved pet.

    1. Thank you kindly, Susan. Difficult, but a responsibility that we have as their human companion. Our veterinarian put it well in that he appreciates that we make these decisions when it is the right time, as he has to convince people all too often, when their beloved pet is suffering.

  19. Sorry for your loss, Frank. It is so hard to let go, but at least our animal friends have the advantage of help to go before it gets to tough.♥

    1. Thank you, Ann-Christine. It is one of the responsibilities that we have to them.

    1. Thank you very much, Sandy. Your post reminds me of a school photo that I found on-line with me in it.

      1. Yes, I think I have all of these for my years in grade school.

  31. Oh Frank, I’m so sorry about Bette. Sending you and your wife much love.
    I’m probably not going to do the prompt this week. I’m either taking off of blogging for the holiday, or posting an amazing blog by success coach Robert Holden on his daughter singing a song at the end of a Findhorn Conference.
    Blessings to you Frank! Debbie
