THIS WEEK THE DAILY POST HAS CHALLENGED US TO DISPLAY PHOTOS THAT CREATE A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA.

You can click that link to see lots of nostalgic pictures. Here are mine. Perhaps they are so intensely personal to me they will inspire no  nostalgia in you, but then that is the nature of the beast, nostalgia. What stirs memory and passion in one person only reflects all that is mundane to another.

Something about the water running off into the distance…

takes me back to…

summers gone by…

…familial connections

times of laughter…

walks through the rain…

and moments that happen once in a lifetime.

All of these are nostalgia distilled and encapsulated never to be relived only reimagined around a table with friends.

What makes you nostalgic?
