September is Alzheimer's Awareness Month and today Sept. 21st is Alzheimer's Awareness Day, so I'd like to share a little of my story. I moved in (plus my husband and 2 kids) with my parents a few years back, in a log house my parents and me hand built, so I could help with my Mom who had Alzheimer's Disease. I made myself a commitment last October since joining Caedes of taking photographs ONLY on these two acres of wooded bliss, as a Celebration of Home. Every photo in my gallery (with the exception of the Geckos) was taken here at home. I will after October actually venture off the porch to take some shots and who knows what I'll find out there. Sadly my Mom passed away peacefully at home last Friday on Sept. the 14th and will be greatly missed. -Christie

Christie, your story really is heartfelt, and a lovely tribute to your mother. Very nice, and I think it is really special that your gallery consists of the captures on the home grounds.

Christie, what gorgeous work for a tribute to the Alzheimer's Awareness. My Mother-in-law had Alzheimer's, what a sad disease and to watch a person fad before your eyes

I applaude you for your commitment. it has paid off only because you did commit patiently and passionately to only one place. not many can do that and find this many pics(worth taking) in one location. amazing! my new gallery(old one as well) hasnt much miles traveled as well. really no need to.

truly sorry to read about your loss. you did gain a wonderful gallery in return for your efforts...that has to be worth more then one could imagine!

thank you for you comment on Rose Lake as well.
