Cactus Monday: Dedicated to Judy Butler & Family


Sundown

My task accomplished and the long day done,
My wages taken, and in my heart
Some late lark singing.
Let me be gathered to the quiet West,
The sundown splendid and serene.

William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) England 

The blogging community has lost a bright light, a wonderful artist and nature lover.
I didn't know Judy well except for her sweet comments she left for me, and through her wonderfully painted Cactus Monday posts.
She was a sweet, talented soul who will be missed by her family and friends.
Please visit here to read tributes from other Cactus Monday members and to see why Judy will be missed so much.
Rest now Judy. You'll never be forgotten♥
