TIME FOR SOME PHOTOGRAPHS TO CHEERS US UP!

in #photography6 years ago (edited)
I was not sure if I would get to post this weekend. I had to take my wife to several doctor appointments which led to other appointments. Her health is not improving and it sounds like something else is going wrong so now she will see a blood specialist. It has put me behind on most things in my life including posting. I try to stay busy so I do not have time to worry, and because I am behind on so many things I am very busy. My daughter will help take her to some appointments, but I did not tell her the full ramification of why we really are going to see a blood specialist (I want to be at that appointment anyway). On that note I am going to just get into uploading some photos so this post gets on steemit today.



I think I will start off with a rose today. I probably have used other photos of the same rose. It brightened my spirits when I saw it this morning:

This guy keeps showing up in my flower bed and cannot stay out of trouble:

I caught this raven on my game camera, coming in for a landing to feed. It is not the best photograph, yet I found it fascinating:

Here is a photograph of a rose hip. The rose hip is the fruit from some roses. In this case it is from a wild rose we have growing in the area.

This next flower grows wild on my property. It is actually a weed, but I enjoy it as a flower:

I will close with a photo I took on my Android phone. These are my daughters flowers:

I hope everyone finds something to their liking in the photography.

I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted.

Upvotes and resteem are always welcome. In the event anyone wants to use one of my photos please ask and give me credit.

REMEMBER SPAM AND PLAGIARISM WILL LEAD TO MUTING. I added this last week because I had to mute someone for plagiarism. Please do not use what someone else has left as a comment. I do not like flagging people, but I have a long list of those that have been muted. I get a lot of comments and try to upvote them all, and it is not fair to those who left a comment or even a photo to use their words, nor is it fair to the Steemit platform. People work hard here so use your own words please.

NAMASTE

Good Morning
I am very sorry to hear that your wife’s failing health. I pray that she will recover and my sympathies to you on this sad occaision. My wife suffered from poor health a few years back and I had to rush her to the hospital for a blood transfusion and urgent surgery the next day when she was stronger. I can still remember how down I felt at the prospect of such a serious illness affecting my wife and I sympathize with you. Thank goodness she has recovered and I am very thankful indeed. I will pray today, which is Sunday for your wife’s recovery. I will also pray for strength for you to be the main mast of your wife’s boat to help her weather this storm.
🙏🏻🙏🏻

PS
Thank you for the pictures of the flowers.
I see the world differently since my wife’s illness and appreciate it more.

Thank you. I appreciate it. For the past 20 years her health has been up and down. Unfortunately the downs are getting worse. I just try and focus on getting through the day.

Your welcome. I think I understand what you mean by just getting through each day, as it can be overwhelming. I found that it turned out that if I tried to accomplish one or two things to make my wife more comfortable or something to make her happy each day, she and I felt better. There is so much about an illness which you can’t control and it contributes to feelings of helplessness, frustration and at times anger. But if you focus on what you can control, what you can do, accomplish those and do it Day by day accomplishing tasks you make her and your life better every morning or every evening in some way. This is very good.
🙏🏻💪

Thank you!
