The Old Chook
Uploaded: October 28, 2009
Here's one for my Mum, she passed away 4 years ago today (Dad always called her "the Old Chook"). She always liked this house & would have liked their new letter-box. Lens aperture F/4, shutter speed 1/125sec, focal length, taken on the back road to Maitland, NSW.

So sorry about this anniversary for you, Chris. :(This is a beautiful dedication to your Mum. I hope wherever she is she is still able to look down and watch your life unfolding. :)
I still feel like I feel my mom around me. I miss her so much. I know how you feel.
Hugs to you!
