Two by Twos: DP Weekly Photo Prompt–Partners
Opposites Attract
The youngest member of our family (Maddie, 9 months) seems rapt over the words and motions of our eldest, (Jane, 90), or perhaps she is just admiring her beautiful manicure.
Jubilant
I knew immediately which photo I would use when I saw this week’s word prompt. This picture was taken of my sister Patti greeting my husband Bob at my nephew Jeff’s wedding. It was taken long before digital cameras were invented. Thanks, technology, for good scanners to translate all these old photos as well as simple editing tools to remove the specks they all seem to contain. I know the quality is terrible, but I could not resist using it.
And since there is no such thing as too much jubilation, here are some more:

Face Off
This always lovely, almost always smiling lady of 96 was caught here in a reflective moment as she sat covered by a shawl to ward off cool lake breezes. We were on a pontoon boat on Lake Chapala, listening to the children’s choir and orchestra and sipping wine made from local raspberries. Perhaps the music triggered a memory. Certainly, there is a far away look in these eyes. I love this picture even though it really does not capture her usual bright, positive attitude. I guess the secret of why we are so intrigued by photos is their ability to capture and share with us those fleeting moments otherwise lost.
What Have We Done To Our Earth?

Left our prints upon it
Fenced it
Torn it asunder
Burned it
Used it and returned to it
Taken shade in it
Appreciated its beauty
Abstract
Please click on photos to enlarge. I didn’t mean to include the last one, but it looks so good in the collage that I’m leaving it! You’ll see it in my earlier post today as well.

The two watches pictured are my two favorite ones. The first one is my one remaining working Chico’s watch, on top of a pile of bracelets in my jewelry bag. Presently, the turquoise watch is the one I wear every day, not only because I love it but also because it belonged to a friend whose partner gave it to me after she passed away. I was so touched by this and every time I look at it, I think of both of them. The “ahora” bracelet is one I have made each time I come to the beach to remind me that the most important time of all is right now. It helps me to remember to use and treasure each moment. (“Ahora” means “Now” in Spanish.)
