Dan Antion, along with Marsha Ingrao, are posting in her memory … I didn't know her – but I'm happy to support Dan and many blogging friends.
Appropriate links at Dan's site … here 'Remembering Cee'.
Victoria Falls Bridge under construction in 1905 – as part of the Cape to Cairo railway – an unfinished project in the late 1800s, early 1900s …

Unknown to me, all of them - but no less the impact of a life shortened and how we must treasure our time... YAM xx
Like YAM I had no prior knowledge, but it is patently true that we all must do our utmost to make the best use of the time we have. Perhaps in some small way we may leave our mark, be remembered by people whose lives we touched. Sue was a sterling example of that. Her memory will continue to be a blessing for all of us. Hugs - David
With each passing day we realise that we must make the most of our time . . . but the days pass so quickly. I'm sad for anyone who has lost someone they care about,
That's a perfect photo, Hilary. A sad, albeit appropriate metaphor and Cee loved bridges. Thanks for sharing this photo and your thoughts.
Yes, a sad photo but a reminder our days are limited and we probably won't finish everything we set out to accomplish.
@ Yam - I understand ... sometimes a connection is there - for me it is Dan and thus I joined in. We must treasure our time on this earth ...
@ David - yes many of us relate to each other and our thoughts as you've done here ... we link across. I've lost three family friends born on the 7th over the recent years. Sue (Elephant's Child) particularly touched many of us profoundly ... as my two tributes (earlier posts) acknowledged ...
@ Janice - I know time goes so quickly ... especially if, as I'm doing, being very slow. I, like you, feel for anyone who has lost a close friend recently ...
@ Dan - thanks - I found that Victoria Falls one, which has family connections, but also the links for time passing so quickly and at times suddenly losing someone. I'm glad I joined in.
@ Alex - a sad photo, but as you mention we don't know how long we have ...
Thanks everyone - always good to see you all and keep the contacts flowing - cheers Hilary
Cee was a major force in the photoblogging community! May she R.I.P. 🌹 I understand Dan is continuing her weekly challenges and thus, her memory lives on. 🕯️Thank you for the tribute, Hilary, and the reminder that life is short.
Wow - that bridge photo posted is really good. Nice tribute by them, and thank you for linking. Time....too fast and too slow. I try to take moments and enjoy them. Cheers and have a good weekend.
I didn't know Cee either, but am still sad to hear of her passing.
I also didn't know her but always sad to lose a friend of the community.
Hilary, I got a bit worried when I couldn't find your blog. my email is elsieathome@y7mail.com if you could please supply the Words for Wednesday for June 2026.
@ Debbie - yes ... I must find out more about Cee in the photoblogging community - and that's good to know Dan is continuing her weekly challenges, and thus her memory will live on. Sadly - yes ... life is short ...
@ Joanne - I've a few books about the building of the bridge, so was happy to post this particular photo. Thanks, you and Ray certainly live life ... and enjoying all the moments you can ...
@ Liz - I just thought it was a good way to join in for her memory.
@ Diane - and as you say ... losing a friend in our community is sad.
@ River - that's strange ... if one goes through to the blog from your site - it works. But I'll email you - thanks for letting me know. Yes - I can do June 2026 - well done for carrying on the WWW ...
Cheers to you all ... have peaceful weekends - Hilary
Thank you for sharing this tribute. It’s touching to see how the blogging community comes together to remember and celebrate lives. The image of Victoria Falls Bridge under construction is a striking reminder that life’s work, like the bridge, is often ongoing every moment counts.

What an amazing picture. You remind us not to waste our days. I don't think Cee ever wasted a day. She accomplished a lot! They got so far along. What happened? Thanks for sharing your amazing picture with us. Cee would have loved it.
@ Melody ... thanks so much ... we do celebrate our blogging lives don't we. The thought of building that bridge over the Zambezi terrifies me as they went over in cages with their equipment ... getting it from one side to the other ... it's lasted the test of time, thankfully.
@ Marsha - so good to see you - happy birthday for Friday. I'm sure I'll get to find out more about Cee as I blog around. This picture was taken as they were building - the bridge opened in 1908 and is still standing and being used ... so it was well built.
Cheers to you both - I'll catch up during the week - Hilary
yes another loss which does make us aware of how short life is. We have to make the best of it. Victoria Falls are beautiful I have seen photos of it
A lovely remembrance, Hils. I hope this day finds you well. Cheers,
Construction across the Zambezi in 1905 looked like a heroic project but potentially dangerous for the workers.
@ Marja - yes another blogging life lost to us. Life is short. Victoria Falls is amazing I've been fortunate to have visited three times, but would have loved to have spent more time there.
@ Sandra - thank you ... Cee was well respected by the blogosphere ...
@ Hels - someone had to explore and be brave enough to envision a way forward ...
Cheers - thanks for your visits - Hilary
I didn't know Cee, but clearly she meant so much to so many out there in our community. One thing I was detetmined to do before it was too late, was to visit the Victoria Falls, and I'm so glad my dream came true.
Hi Keith - I didn't know Cee - but many respected her in blog-land. I'm so pleased you got to see Vic Falls ... Africa is such an amazing country ... Cheers Hilary
