In Memory of Pop Dixon



These pictures are posted in memory of Clarence Dixon, the Dad of my lifelong best girlfriend Janice. He passed from this world today and will be missed by many. I was so thankful that he was able to stay here long enough to see his three girls Janice, Ruth Ann and Laurie one last time. His soul flew away to join our Father in Heaven just 20 minutes after Janice and Ruthie arrived at his bedside. Blest be to God!

The roses were taken at sunset from my garden. At sunset, we can often see the most beautiful and colorful sky. Sunrise and sunset, the beginning and ending of each day are so touching to us. I think this is because like the beginning and end of life we are so close to touching God.

I love hummingbirds and love trying to capture their beauty on film. They come and go so fast. They seem to really enjoy zipping around their universe. Just look at those faces! They seem magical as they hover quietly in place or do aeronautical acrobatics while flying so fast that the human eye cannot follow their antics. Their colors change as they turn in and out of the sunshine. The sunshine turns a gray or brown into a brillant shimmering red.

Carol, Thank you so much for being there for Janice... You don't know how much it meant for her to hear from you about her dad. Thanks for the special "memory" for Pop Dixon He was known by many but probably not as well as by you.
