However....Hello Eric - as always a wonderful photo.<br />However..... Yesterday was All Saints' Day (la Toussaint) which is a holiday in Catholic countries for celebration of the saints, known and unknown, not the day for focusing on the dead.<br />Technically, that day was today, 2nd November: "la commémoration de tous les fidèles défunts".<br />I know that the two have become melded together, largely because "la Toussaint" is a holiday and it is when people are free to go and visit cemeteries etc.<br />(Then there's the American "Hallowe'en" influence!)<br />P.S. no chrysanthèmes for Maurice Genevoix?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-58535818045487385522013-11-02T08:40:21.381+01:002013-11-02T08:40:21.381+01:00I just realised that you missed Theme Day!

Sorry this can appear a little morbid. It is not. It is just a compliment. My way to say I admire each piece of your work. I am sure it is important to be able to rely on those who live with us to take care of our death. I love your choice.<br />I would also have loved to see your picture for the theme month though. I already miss your eye ... <br />Enjoy life too with all saints.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
