If you have any photos that make you want to swat a fly, please add! (this is one of our new baby bison)

1. I've been going down the photos I missed
making inane or whatever comments

I mentioned I've had 5 house guests and have been (nuts) pre-occupied yet I started to say something on this one a few times and stopped and deleted.

It may not happen, but I have a photo to add here. And THANK GOD I did not take it.
It makes me absolutely dissolve without seeing it, again, heck it's a whole series of them on the same subject. The thought of them alone takes me to a place of misery that was unequaled in the course of contemporary human events until the oil gusher.

In Jan. 2009 (or is it 2008?) a friend of mine went into Gaza.
With him were 15 professionals who are trained in how to treat children with post traumatic stress.

I have photos the world has not seen, and probably never will.

One of them, well, a series of them, is of a little girl, about 3, who is so lost to the world she lives in that the flies all over her face are not worthy of being swatted, when she contemplates the rest of what is on her mind.

And all of that makes me well up ....

3. I owe you an apology, I'm sure.
I introduced such sorrow on your post. I'm sorry for that.
Sometimes I hold such a pain, like I do about those photos I talked about, that I have to make a pin prick and let some of it out so I can go on.

My only saving grace is that for a good number of days nobody had followed up on it.

4. No, I guess nobody has a photo to add
I figured that a few people had photos to add, but guess not!

Any would be appropriate, sad, happy, whatever.
