On the completion of the service every Mother would receive a small bunch of the flowers. The smell was something that will always remind me of my Mother who passed away in 1998. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which all celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. Cherish your Mother or her memory.

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . . It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . . It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . . A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand. ~Helen Steiner Rice~ · Date: Sat May 9, 2009 · Views: 239 · Tags: 2 · Additional Info Keywords: Mother's Day Country Image Taken Australia Processing Software Applications Used « more · more »

Author Thread   mcdonegal1 Registered: January 2009 Posts: 272 Sun May 10, 2009 10:11am Stunning flower capture with wonderful details and presentation. A wonderful memory and celebration combined. Great work. Regards, Mary Julie Registered: February 2009 Posts: 1,421 Sun May 10, 2009 12:36pm This is ever so beautiful and I loved your writing of your childhood memories with your mom. I have ones similar. My mom passed in 96 and I still cherish memories and think of her all the time. She got a vase of fresh tulips Friday at the cemetery as I always do. Superb on this image. Els Registered: November 2008 Posts: 1,489 Sun May 10, 2009 2:29pm Yes mother's day here as well and lovely weather to go with it, so we could be outside with the family. This is one fantastic flower, the thin purple lines on the white are just stunning. Thanks Els lrw1966 Registered: November 2008 Posts: 3,889 Sun May 10, 2009 2:55pm Marvelous, David. Not only the amazing image - but - the very thoughtful notes, as well. I hope you have had a great day, my friend. Thanks Larry veejaycee Registered: February 2009 Posts: 5,689 Sun May 10, 2009 2:56pm I really like the angle at which you have captured this beautiful Dhalia and the exposure which has produced such perfect colours. Possibly I would crop tight from the right as the flower faces left but either way this is a superb image.
