Day Four: “Bliss” —

What is bliss to you?

Today’s Tip:  That’s a caption. Today, add a caption to your image so viewers know what they’re looking at!

This is my cat Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- he was suffering from kidney failure and died a few months after I took this picture.

But do you see that look in his eyes?

Determination-strength.

He fought to stay with me for as long as he could- and he did.

He was almost 18 years old when he died.

Hamish Macbeth!

He came into my life when I was in the midst of a lot of change and uncertainty.

He was happy as a pup and he’s a happy go lucky full grown dog.

I can’t believe in the midst of such great loss ( my Dad and cousin had died just before I got Hamish and I was suffering from severe depression ) I was able to raise a creature like Hamish.

A few years ago the King Tut exhibit was on tour and it stopped in Seattle.

There was a giant statue of Anubis at Train Station and it looked over the building I work in.

I was an embalmer and I grew up cutting my teeth on books about Archeology. Anubis has always been a meaningful figure to me.

Having him watch over me for a little while was … bliss.

Deadmen ( and the ladies too, of course ) DO tell tales and I felt them everywhere at Saint Louis Cemetery #1 in New Orleans.

I took this picture on Halloween- The most blissful day of the year.

Werewolves on Halloween in New Orleans.

Halloween does not and it cannot get better then that.

Yes it can. But that was SUCH a great Halloween.

The Beginning of fall and the promise of Winter right here in this light and with this wonderful dog.

Bliss.
