Browsing


Linda asks us to use the word "Browse" or a derivative in our Quadrilles






 

Memorial Day

the perfect time to drag out

that heavy 'old photos' box

thousands of them

a day made for solitude, for browsing

memories, moments, the very best ones

~ sometimes a mood takes over ~

can too much of a good thing ruin it?

 Never.

    I love how photos can take us right back to the moment as if it were yesterday. Beautiful Helen.

    Taking that stroll back through time unleashes so many emotions — some unexpected, but all wonderful in their way. Really like this Helen! 👍🏼✌🏼❤️

    All those memories stashed away - it's good to give them an airing. And when better?

    So poignant...and so important to collect those memories...your poem reads two ways....too much of a good thing, never! Triumphant! And too much of a good thing...a sudden thought....both nice

    Dearest Helen,
    Sure, photos are all attached to emotions of real people with a warm heart and blood in their veins.
    It taught us all so much about where we came from and what we are.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Helen this is hedgewitch. I'm having trouble commenting under my normal ID for some reason, but I love this look at what we hang on to in life, and how a physical thing like a photograph can mean so much much more.

    I never tire of looking at old photos, especially when they spark a lost memory.

    Oh I do think there can be too much photos... you should have seen what my mother had.

    It's an emotionally-charged activity, isn't it? I have to be in the right mood for it, otherwise it can be too much!

    Something about old photos that evoke more powerful emotions than the easy phone snap shots we all take today~
