Congratulations, sorry for the delay, and a self portrait
I was happy to show up in the winning photos with my Kayak, disturbing the water's Autumn color reflections in Salem Lake. Thank you for your votes, it was a tough, hard fight.
I congratulate Grumpy and mnhtnbb for their beautiful, worthy winning photographs, and there were so many others utterly fabulous.
And I very much thank George McGovern for a flawless first in hosting.
I'm only now piping in because I was in the ER for 9 hours today, where they diagnosed the fall I had the day before yesterday as having broken a vertebra; no wonder I hurt hard and did not get better.
The photo is of me, OK, it's my left foot, in the room between X-rays and a CT scan, and so forth.
I will be glued back together soon with some glue. I have had that before with another break, and it solves the problem.
So, don't cry for me.
Be grateful with me it was not worse.
Now for the self-portrait, I took the photo as I was lying in the dreary Room at the ER -and it was funny - but the post-images are not working for me tonight, and I need to rest.
Release the files: "The Sound of Epstein"

The BOROWITZ REPORT TODAY
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—
Mike Johnson had no comment on Thursday after Donald J. Trump demolished the House Speaker’s family home.
Johnson had reportedly been asleep when a backhoe came crashing through the wall of his master bedroom, sending the Speaker and his wife fleeing for safety.
At the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered scant explanation for Trump’s decision to level Johnson’s dwelling, saying only that he “felt like it.”
After initially refusing to comment, Johnson told reporters that he was “sure the President had a perfectly good reason for doing it” and invited Trump to total his car.
NOW BE BRAVE AND CLICK ON THE PICTURE

Suggesting a little action on behalf of our beloved California Peggy
Here is her post about upcoming exploratory surgery,https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036152178
and her stalwart and stoic acceptation of a scary hard time in the near future.
We hear the phrase “thoughts and prayers” so much that I have stopped saying it a good while back.
Especially in these turbulent days.
May I tell you about an African proverb that has recently come to my attention and I have begun to love and apply whenever possible:
The African proverb, often quoted as "When you pray, move your feet," emphasizes that faith requires action, not just words or thoughts. It serves as a call to action, reminding people to actively participate in the process of achieving their goals or making a difference in the world, combining spiritual belief with practical effort to manifest change.
Now I realize we are a widespread group, and can’t move our feet with our prayers and our thoughts during her ordeal.
What we can do is send her a few words she is not expecting, and tell her what she means to us.
So I missed "Summer" in more ways than one
It's been a rough summer for me. I got sick on June 16th and am only now slowly recovering from back surgery.Onward and upward, though, with gratitude, and the surgery was a success.
I haven't looked at the entries or winners yet, but I will take care of that directly.
I ran across this photo just now, and liked it. It was the impetus to tell you I am on my way back.
I guess I took it, I recognize aspects of my backyard, but I barely remember.
Just saying hello, and "don't cry for me, Argentina" - I am going to be returning, and in much better shape at that.
