I wish we both could fly back home

[livejournal.com profile] cottonmanifesto got her old pictures online by photographing them, so I tried it with some that I found at Grimmauld Place last time I was there. She has a better camera than I do and knows how to work its settings properly so these aren't as good as hers - but here they are.

This is not just any old Redtail. This was my Redtail. There were hundreds of pictures of her; this is the only one I have left.
John and me John and me

This is an unblurry as I could get it. Still blurry.

...I'm glad you have even one photo of John and Camilla...

I didn't lose that many pictures of him, because he was mostly behind the camera. But there were some brilliant ones of me with Camilla - Wales, the New Forest... *sigh*

I am looking at them feeling a little sad and nostalgic, and they aren't my photos, and I don't really even have context. They are gorgeous pics. I like this about LJ, that people out there in the world are stories unfolding. I guess I get that from face-to-face friends too, but there is something kind of magical from the sharings that happen online.

thank you :)

Scampi was my old dog who died in 2003 - John is my husband who died in 1999. Scampi saw me through some very bad times.

Camilla goes back a lot further than that, I had her from 1988 to 1995. I thought she'd died in '96 but it's possible she didn't - long story.

posting them has knocked me a bit off-centre.

Oh Liz, I am so sorry. It was a beautiful thing to share, thank-you. I am giving you a big cyber-hug.

I thought the post where I'd told Camilla's story was in the comments of one of Ramona's old entries, but I forgot I'd written it here during Blogathon: http://lizblackdog.livejournal.com/290845.html

I must get that pic scanned properly so I can make an icon out of it.

Anything I can do to help?

Lovely photyos by the way.

And an excellent idea for digitizing them.

Thanks for sharing these. It reminds me of how I have almost no picutres of my past because of homelessnes/instability/fleeing violence suddenly.

I only have the ones that happened to be at my mother's house, for similar reasons. It sucks. I can see them in my head still.

I'm so glad you found these.

Too bad there isn't a scanner that works straight from the brain.

you can see the Staff in Scampi in the top picture. That heavy broad jawline... it looks a bit odd ending in a pointy collie muzzle, doesn't it?

It's good that you have these, and that you can share them.
