Interesting response…like me you don’t have any humans in the photos…I’m thinking those were all gifts from friends?
Yes, they are 🙂
Wonderful symbolism!
Thanks, Julie 🙂
Nice post 🙂
Thanks, NN 🙂
Also very much appreciate the symbolism in the post.
Thanks, Charles 🙂
Semantics and style – two halves of the same coin? My dearest friend (besides the men in the family) is a redhead. I’ve always wanted to be one. Delightful post, BB
Thanks, Monica 🙂 There are pros and cons to being one (a redhead, that is)
Clever and cool poem BB 🙂 and one that gets me thinking! Love the series of photos (some cards and memorabilia are well worth hanging onto – I have quite a few memorabilia boxes).
Thanks, Gabe – i agree. Memorabilia is treasure – and provides, often surprising, insight into the way we are viewed by those we love.
They say, a true friend thinks of his/her friend first before himself/herself. That is a friend that loves and care unconditionally. I agree, how much artifacts of friendship have we left behind so far? I hope we all left a lot. Love the thoughts and the video.
Thanks, IT. Yes, the artefact trails of friendship provide an interesting biography of our lives. 🙂
challenging! you know i thought of a card a friend sent too …. a sign of friendship when it hits right to the bone 🙂
That’s so true, Christine 🙂
Well, if these artefacts are anything to go by you are a pretty cool friend. I really like your interpretation!
Thanks, Selma 🙂 Thank goodness for friends – they are in our lives because they want to be which is the most precious gift 🙂
Nice unorthodox collection of friendship. Card sent to friend, It’s a smart one. Maybe i like the super ewe one the most.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Albadr 🙂
Great question, BB 🙂 This post ran like a performance art installation at the ICA!
Haha – thanks, Kate – it’s sometimes a surprise how those we are close to view us 🙂
Sweet memorabilia gallery – what a nice take on the friendship challenge! 🙂
Thanks, TRS 😀
Hmmm… Profound. What is real and what is… friendship in it’s trumped up, pretentious I gift you/you gift me version…. ? You are amazing. TY! 🙂
Thanks, Elizabeth – friendships are the gifts and treasures of my life 🙂
so succinct BB. really hits the nail…
Thanks, Graham.
Your words ring true, Bluebee. I like this as perhaps it tells a little more about you here than you have said? Nicely written with photos to go with.
Thanks, Renee – thank goodness for friendship 🙂
