Remembering Cee Neuner One Day Photo Challenge

A Bridge for Cee — #1Day4Cee

Today, 7 November would have been Cee’s birthday. She shared her birthday with two fellow bloggers Dan Antion and Marsha Ingrao.

Dan and Marsha are hosting a day to remember her. They suggested posting a picture of a flower or a black and white photo in her memory. Perhaps share some thoughts about Cee.

Cee was one of the first bloggers I followed when I started blogging twelve years ago. At the time she was hosting Share Your World. I thought it was a good way to get started as a blogger. It helped me to get writing and sharing my photos. It also introduced me to many fellow bloggers. I began to do it regularly. That was how I found my blogging community. I also started to participate in Cee’s Photo Challenges. I really loved doing those. Her photographs were very inspiring and I think I learned to see things differently through doing her challenges.

For example, black and white photography was not something I really did. Once I bought my first roll of colour film, black and white just didn’t seem as interesting. Cee helped me to see that some photographs actually look better in black and white. I started to look at shapes and patterns more.

I always enjoyed seeing her photographs of flowers, especially from the tulip farm that she and Chris used to visit. I often mentioned to her that I felt Oregon and Tasmania had a lot of similarities. Except that we don’t have the beautiful green bridges that she regularly photographed.

Of course I couldn’t pick just one photo so I have chosen a few that make me think of Cee. One is a tulip of course. I’ve chosen a golden yellow one because yellow is for remembrance. As I wandered around the amazing Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands during tulip time I thought of Cee. She would have really liked it there I think.

My second photograph is of the Royal Albert Bridge. It is spans the Tamar River that divides the counties of Devon and Cornwall. It’s a grand bridge and I think Cee would have liked that too.

Finally, because Cee loved old cars and rustic sheds, here are a couple that I have posted in past challenges.

Happy birthday Marsha and Dan and thank you for hosting this special event for your birthday triplet Cee. Love to Chris if she reads this.
