don't know what this bush and flower are but i sure like them. apparently the insects do too. i saw at least five different types counting this gal. i've been hearing that the bees are dying/disappearing and i can believe it as this is the first honeybee i've seen this year tho i've seen many types of wasp and bumbles. i thought it cool how bright yellow and bulging the pollen she's carrying is. i don't have macro and was too lazy to carry my tripod, even tho i got a fine new shoulder case for it from my fam, so this is just my 18-55mm zoom hand-held. you who know flowers and plants, who have time and inclination, do you know what this is

DailyPhotos > popular all-time > February 15th, 2008 - I decided to capture the memory of my lovely Valentine rose from Sam ( my younger son) as a daily. I learned just how hard it is to take a good picture of a flower that really  shows some depth and detail. I have a new found respect for nature and flower still life photographers!!! This is my attempt from my 'studio' ( Well, Matt and Jon have studios, don't they?)

This is a shot where you can see what my background is, when in focus.  A  pillow with a leaf patterned fabric! My studio lighting: a table lamp with the shade off. The rain that Rick commented on: a water sprayer helped with that...Oooh, is it cheating that I did it this way?  http://cleantth.smugmug.com/gallery/4044477_ghcHA#254837762

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I was playing around a little yesterday and thought of this scripture when I was done.

The Long ride Home.

How do you tell someone you love they can't go home again? They can't just get in their car and take ride, they can't cook a good meal, go shopping or watch the sunset at their favorite beach? How do you tell someone you love they can't have their puppy with them? They can't travel or eat the things they enjoy but aren't good for them? How do to you tell someone you love that their life will never be the same? They can't just call you because they forget your number or how to dial the phone? I had to. 

July 2, my mom will be 69 years young. 

It's didn't work...They don't know what's causing all her problems. 


Almost a year ago my mom went into the hospital for a jump start on her heart as it was out of rhythm. She went for this procedure a total of 4 times. Each time the doctor saying it will work this time. The last time they also wanted to do an obliteration, a burning off of the arteries that we not working. (If I am understanding it correctly.) They also said a pacemaker would help jump start her if her heart failed. When they went inside her chest to the heart the doctor stated that the artery he needed was not where it should be and he had to move her heart around to find it. My mom was under anesthesia three times longer than she should have been. She has never been the same. 

I kept telling her doctors that my mom was not herself. They kept assuring me it would take time. It didn't. Everyone downplayed my moms condition. 

It finally got to the point that my mom could not walk, feed herself, bath etc. Home health nurse, bless his heart, on his second visit rushed my mom to the hospital as she was not responding to him. 

The neurologist figured out from her symptoms that she had water on the brain but didn't know what was causing it. They felt that by doing the lumbar puncture and relieving some of the spinal fluid off that she would regain her strength and slowly her memory. 

It didn't work. 

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. 

My heart is breaking, that's my mom...
