Many of you know about the passing of fellow blogger and friend Cee Neuner. If you followed her blog, you would know she hosted several photo challenges, including the wildly popular Flower of the Day (FOTD). She passed peacefully on March 3, 2025. Please read Becky B’s post for more information.
I’m sure Cee touched all of us in some way through her gorgeous photography and meaningful comments. She was an enthusiastic fan of many other photo challenges, which kept her busy enough. She always made time to comment back on her posts or leave a heartfelt comment on our posts as well.
Cee was a fan of florals and likely still has countless files in her image archives. Her incredible photos of dahlias inspired me to take the leap to grow my own once we moved to Washington.
In early 2021, I was excited to be invited by Cee to join a Zoom blogger group that included Marsha, Carol, and Judy. We would sit for a good hour each Tuesday, yacking about blogging, photography, and the latest gossip in the blog world. I get a little misty thinking about how special that time was.
Cee lived near Portland, Oregon, and I always felt like her neighbor (I live within a 5-hour drive), although I never got the chance to meet her in person. I’m sure we all have sweet memories of our beloved friend Cee.
Her partner, Chris, is making decisions about the future of Cee’s blog and the Flower of the Day Feature. I am sure we will know more about this as time passes.
For now, I am sharing these flowers in memory of Cee.
This is the first time we’ve seen these tiny flowers cover a half-acre of our property in the four years we’ve lived here. It’s as if the flowers have come out to wish Cee a beautiful view of eternity.
“Friends are flowers in the garden of life.” – Proverb
Rest in Peace, my friend.
