Saturday Photo Hunt -- Paper

Join the blogroll. Visit participants.

Coming up with something for Paper was almost as difficult
as PLASTIC was! It seems I don't often photograph paper!
But this particular time, I had photographed it - and intentionally
so. This was taken at this years' Relay For Life in my town.
The 2nd luminaire from the bottom left spot is in remembrance
of my Derek's friend, Scott Coyle, who died of Ewings Sarcoma
5 years ago. Derek and Scott were BEST friends! The next one
in from Scott's is in Honor of his mom, Judi Coyle, who not only
coordinates the WHOLE Relay For Life thing for our county -
but also became a cancer survivor herself this past year with
the completion of treatment for breast cancer. It was an honor to
participate in Relay For Life ... in both of their honors!

What a great way to "celebrate" paper and remember a life! I was so touched at the Relay for Life last year. My son is now sponsoring a team, and I think I'm going to join it.

Hugs.

What a wonderful way to honor the departed friends. This event must be a very serene and touching one. I don't think I can stand going to such an event as I may shed too many tears just by looking at those who were left behind.

Thanks you for sharing this post, Melli. Take care and have a great weekend! :)

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 9/22/2007 9:58 AM  

your comment was right on. I don't photograph paper (nor plastic) too often if at all..
I like what you chose!

A very special picture.
Beautiful take.
Loved reading the post about doing another meme because your neice said you were doing too many memes. Soundsjust like what I would do.
Thanks for stopping in.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 9/22/2007 3:06 PM  

Well, I have never ever seen or heard of such things before. I guess you have to experience it live to really appreciate it :-)

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 9/22/2007 5:18 PM  

great photo for this week's theme!

coincidentally, my daughter and i were talking just this morning about participating in Relay for Life again this year. (my mom is a breast cancer survivor, but both my father-in-law and a good friend died from cancer.)

By Blogger alisonwonderland, at 9/22/2007 5:19 PM  

Wow - great idea Melli! I just heard about the Relay for Life on a tv program. So great and a beautiful photo too.
I'm glad I surprised you but NOT having sheet music! *S*
Happy weekend
