Into the maik

Każdy człowiek jest piękny - smutna to będzie notka, ale choć raz o innych. Innych, którzy odeszli w tym roku w Ameryce.New York Times zebrał od czytelników zdjęcia ich bliskich, z którymi musieli się pożegnać. Stworzył się z tego niezwykły kolaż - pięknych twarzy, pięknych żyć.

George Pillsbury

Still, if you asked him to name the smartest decision he made in 91 years, he wouldn’t think twice before answering, “Proposing to Sally Lu Whitney.” 

 

 

Augusta "Gusty" Buttrill & Beth Buttrill (King)

 Gusty & Beth Buttrill were sisters and died within a month or so of each other. The two Texas wildflowers were inseparable and are both utterly irreplaceable.

Eoanna Petropoulacos

 

 Eoanna in her "niata'....the succinct Greek word meaning "prime of life"....
