Fall 2006-- Trip to Northeast to visit friend dying of breast cancer-- beautiful autumn-- last time to see my friend-- this post and the beauty of fall dedicated to her
This trip was to New York state, 2 hours north of the NYC. I'd lived there before I came to California and had a friend there to die of cancer the following spring. I flew out for a quick weekend to see her.
The following photos taken during my last walk with her.
She loved to collect berries for wreaths.
The autumn colors were at their height. So much glorious beauty. I will never forget that trip. The next pictures are taken in the company of another friend I stayed with.

These donkeys were lovebugs. We hugged and hugged. I couldn't get enough. Neither could they.

I know you hear me, dear friend. This is in your memory and dedicated to you in the spirit with which you lived and died.
