WPC Numbers: War Memorials (World War I and II)
Today’s entry for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Numbers is just a few of the photos I collected around Europe showing the numbers of people who died in the two world wars.

The Easter Bunny
Trigger Warning: This story may trigger feelings that you need to help animals in some way, shape or form. My earliest memories are of my mother, my brothers and sisters. We had shared a womb.
