Day 8 post number8

Today's topic is to post a photo that makes me angry or sad. I don't really take photos that make me angry and i can't think of any i've seen around the net lately that do either. Photos that make me sad are photos of people that have died. But yet, they also make me smile a bit too, remembering them. I guess it's more of a sentimentality-sad. Today's photos are my dad, my good friend Carole, my cousin Eddie. Eddie died this time last year, in fact yesterday was the anniversary of his death. It still makes me sad thinking of him because he was far too young and far too sweet a guy. Carole also died too young, in her 50s but had been ill for several years. I'm just glad she went peacefully in her sleep though it was unexpected at the time. And Dad, of course, again too young. I think of all three of them a lot, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a tear.

Blog 30 days, day 9

Today's photo is supposed to be a photo i took. There are literally thousands to choose from and believe me it's hard to choose just one.
So i'm picking two.

The first one is a photo i took many years ago, back in the 70s of my dad and his twin brother wearing wigs and acting like it's no big deal. It makes me laugh every time i see it. I've probably posted it before but will again anyway in the spirit of the meme. The other is a more recent photo that i took in the Peak District in the U.K. in May. It was taken either from the car window or we pulled over to the side of the road for a few quick photos in the area. One of my best shots, as it turned out.
