Graveyard statue of young girl
The pinks in the rose and the quilted feel of the background offer warmth and comfort, along with the inspiring words of Emily Dickinson which reassure those who have lost their mother that she’s still close and caring.

Graphic Art/Original Photography by Vickie France Reads: Trust Walk My trust walk has just begun… / I trust that you are still with me, / still in my heart, still a part of me. I trust that I can still hear your voice, / feel your breath on my face, / and the strength of your embrace. I trust my heart, for it knows the truth / that my mind can’t comprehend- / your spirit, wisdom, and love live on. I trust that when my walk here is done, / I’ll rest with you again- / true love such as ours, never ends. I trust while some things change, / others never do- / and my home will always be with you.
This rose was found on the front garden bed of our local parlour.
This lovely rose was found in Veale Gardens, Adelaide. I believe it to be the rose “Iceberg”.

Old western tombstone with textures and rising “souls”. Photo based illustration.
Seeing the grave of a child is always a heart wrenching experience which often leaves me in a sad and emotional state. Last summer, a week after I purchased my Nikon D60, I went to a nearby cemetary to reshoot experimentally the locked gate and establish a comparison with the same photo I had made before using my compact camera. I went inside for a few minutes, and walking between the peaceful rows, I made this shot of a baby’s grave only because I found it awfully sad. I lost a baby boy in 1984 who was born by C-section, heavily handicapped and who lived only two weeks after birth. Severely depressed, unable to think clearly, living at a 40-minute drive from the hospital with a now ex-husband who didn’t cooperate, totally broke and without a car, I was never able to take care of my child’s funeral, and my baby was buried in the cemetary’s common grave. I never had the chance to pray or put flowers on his grave… I think that this might be the reason why I felt so moved by that little statue of a sleeping baby in a crib to the point of taking a picture to bring back home with me. I didn’t know what to do with it before, but my recent experiments with composite images gave me a few ideas to express those feelings. Just like Eric Clapton’s song, Tears in Heaven Images used in this composite: /

Life and Death are a mystery. One day, my son Robert said he felt a bit ‘strange’ / two minutes later, it had passed and was forgotten. One day later, Robert sat down in his bathroom and went to sleep. / He didn’t wake up and no one knows why. Death is a mystery. I didn’t know he needed me, I was elsewhere. / I was on top of a hill; admiring a beautiful view and sunset and / musing over of the minor pleasures of life, I thought / “life can’t get much better than this”. Suddenly screaming, someone had sought solace / in a bottle of sweet sherry and sixty paracetamol. / The young man kept swallowing his tongue, / choking on his sick and – dying. It took me almost two hours to get him to hospital, / but he survived. Life is a mystery. One day later, I discovered that I knew his father. / He phoned to offer his heartfelt thanks; / the hospital docs told him it was a very close call, / another 30 minutes, and his son Mark would have died. One week later I found my son Robert, / sitting and waiting patiently for me to find him. / At St Mark’s, as I sang ‘Abide with me’ and ‘All things bright and beautiful’, I found special meanings in almost every verse. Life and Death are a mystery. Four Marks: / Robert Mark Allen: 1979 – 2009 / Mark Robbins: 1984 – / Mark Allen: 1959 - / St Mark’s Church of Ireland, Dundela, Belfast. Man Plans, God Laughs =================================== The ultimate tragedy / the harshest reality / our child is dead. When we lost our parents / we lost our past / losing a child we have lost our future. Mornings are the worst / for a few seconds we forget to remember / that our son is dead. It hits us like a tidal wave / we drown every morning / like Groundhog Day. A short Audio Visual

A while ago there was a programme on the radio about homelessness, and one of the people featured was a man in his 30’s or 40’s who had been an architect, running his own business. One morning his wife and two small children were killed in a car accident. His life collapsed and he ended up homeless, living on the streets and, like so many, experiencing chronic alcohol problems. I don’t know what happened to him.
