That must feel so good (and healing!) for the photographer in you to get out there with your camera and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
What a wonderful way to take care of yourself while healing. Always nice to see you what you capture.

Grab the good shots when you got 'em.

Those poppies in the last shot must be positively fluorescent -- I think my monitor is throbbing.

Nice photos, and nice to see you up and increasingly mobile !

Looks like a pleasant day, glad you could get outside and enjoy it. Next time, you could snag a little floret off those Hens 'n' Chicks and start your own pot or ground cover patch with it. I like them in pots inside sometimes.

I hope you're feeling better, stronger every day!

When the first day of spring arrived this year, I would normally have changed the wreaths hanging on my doors, from winter to spring in this case. But this year we hadn't really heard from you on the first day of spring. We had only hearsay evidence. Then you wrote in, and I changed the wreaths. Now, once again, no bit of beauty is safe from your camera. My dryer vent is still completely clogged, but I now believe that some young men doing business as "Dryer Vent Dudes" will fix my vent, and I will be able to forge ahead with spring cleaning. Thanks for the encouragement!
