In Memory Of...



This week we went to the Erie Zoo with our grandchildren. As we walked through the exhibits we remembered that there were two less animals there now. Simba the lion and Mizar the polar bear both passed away this year.
Last spring Lorraine and I were able to photograph both of them with the Erie Photography Club. We had a special day when we went into the Zoo before opening time and photographed the animals.
This brings up a good point. When you have a photograph made, it's a memory. We don't like to think about this, but could it be the last memory of someone you love? Good reason to make sure you never put it off. Tomorrow could be too late.
