(Aug. 19, 2008) Another shot from the BLM Wild Horse and Burros sale. This father and daughter looked like they were serious about selecting a horse to take home. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hi all. I have had several inquires about my mom's status so here goes.

Basically my mom is holding her own right now. By that I mean no better, no worse. She is totally dependent on me for her care and I do my very best to take care of her.

She can only make a few steps when she is having a good day. Because of not being able to walk she has to wear diapers because she can not ambulate to get to the bathroom on her own. When she is awake and not to tired she does ask to have assistance to go.

It's hard for her to be such an independent person and have it come to this. She hasn't really ever had any hobbies except for reading but she doesn't really see well even with glasses now. She loves the history channel on TV so I try to make sure she gets to do something she enjoys.

I have an appoint for her to see a Neurologist in September so hopefully we can aleast get a diagnosis and now what we are dealing with.

The general physician I took her to ordered physical therapy and a nurse twice a week so hopefully she'll get stronger. I really am not sure at this point what exactly is wrong with her so I'm careful to not push her to much. It seems like she is strong enough but her brain isn't telling her body what to do. It's very sad.

My husband built a ramp for the wheel chair but I can't do it by myself as I have severe RA. I can get her down the ramp I just can't get her in the car on my own.

She is comfortable and happy to be where she doesn't have to worry about people being mean to her. She sees two of my grandsons everyday and her face is full of light and sparkle when they are here.

Her home in Florida was hit my the hurricane but not horrible so that's a blessing. She was so worried about it.

She has her puppy with her all the time and he seems to be very content to be her also.

Thanks for all the emails and prayers.

Peace, gail

P.S. Since I can't go out now I shoot from my bedroom window. There's allot of birds and once in a while I get something good.

I almost forgot that these flowers were in my garden. They sort of just popped up. But they will be the last of the year.

"seeing it bigger is better"
I felt it was about time I looked to do an abstract piece since it's some of my favorite things to photograph for fun and I haven't done one in a while. So when I left the house before I started thinking of what I'd like to do and as I drove down this one lane road (all 9 miles of it) to the main highway I started cranking off some frames at the road side, lakes etc. as I passed them using a slow shutter speed after choosing an aperture that would allow me enough light but slow everything down to blur the road side out. Well this one turned out to be a HAPPY MISTAKE and was not planned at all. I was just testing my settings as I drove about 45mph and using my right hand I laid the camera across my left forearm out the window and got this one. I didn't even see what I had until I returned home a short while ago and started looking on the monitor at my results LOL.

I really liked the lines in the road, guard rail and tree blur but then to have the image in the mirror be so in focus and having the road curve off into the blurred road like that really gave me a smile, with the telephone pole and bright sky right in the middle of the trees up top between the shadowed trees, now that's a abstract mistake I'll take any day ;)

This is straight out of the camera except the file size was downsized a bit, I tried a few things in post, even some frames but everything I did seemed to screw it up one way or another so I just left it alone. Hell I liked it so here it is but I was torn between this one and my ALTERNATE HERE in my over flow gallery, which was a car passing by a short time after this one was shot and reminded me of that car from that scary Car Movie "CARRIE" from the Early 80's (OK so I'm dating myself LOL) what do you other MID AGED folks think? Does it remind you of CARRIE too ???

CORRECTION: Thank You LESLIE for pointing out that the car movie was was "CHRISTINE" and not Carrie !! That's definitely the one I was thinking of ;)

Ma-halo

DailyPhotos > popular today > August 19: Racing into the turn
I was under the weather yesterday. I came home from work sick and did not get a chance to take a POD. I have one setup but at 9:30 starting a POD with lots of glass and reflective surfaces is not a good idea when you get up at 4:30AMI would have been at that at least 2 hrs to get it right with no reflections. So I opted to do something I have not done yet and that is reach into the archives for a shot to work. This is another from the Regatta I needed to finish. I did some cropping in LR, a slight contrast tweek and added my sig in PS.

Just a quick shot of Jax, relaxing after dinner with one of his trusty leg whackers. I'm off to see Keb' Mo' at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA. A fabulous old, small venue to see artists. And, right around the corner (sort of)! (He is a blue's guy, if you aren't familiar).

Uh-oh...

A somewhat guilty-looking Ivory with one of her favorite toys -- which is nearly as big as she is! -- dangling from her mouth.

Andrea, I don't think the back of a dorm room is on the list of great light sources.. I like this one.. not great but for dorm room light I am happy...
