This is a Repost: We all think about those we have lost at this time of year. This post brought TEARS to my eyes. It is so Beautiful. Jessie Nelson Collins is at Pine Tree Lane Farm and had the chance to do a black and white photo for the #riseupphotochallenge. As she took pics of the farm and many of the adorable minies, Jessie felt a tug deep in Her heart. Jessie calls this piece "still there". This is Her tribute to all those that have felt this loss. Between the stillness and the void, their spirit still remains. Jessie Collins Photography LLC

Remember to look High in the Sky tomorrow night... YOU WILL SEE A BLUE MOON......... A blue moon is when two full moons fall in the same month. When you look at the full moon on Halloween night, it won't appear blue in color but you'll be looking at something pretty uncommon, according to the Farmers' Almanac. A full Moon on Halloween occurs roughly once every 19 years.
