After grocery shopping yesterday, I got home and discovered my purse was gone...with my camera in it...
How it happened isn't important(my fault). The result is what matters. Sigh. I'll be posting from the archives for awhile.

I know how sick this must make you feel. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your purse and all the important things such as ID and other important cards. As we are all photographers, we feel your loss to of your camera. Wish there was something we could do.
In the meantime, you will be working out of your archive and this gorgeous floral is a beautiful way to start it off. Love the framing, superb lighting, and especially that stunning yellow, so bold. A real beauty dear friend. You take care dear friend, hope things will get turned around for you. #11018099

Thanks very much for commenting, Jeff, Tammy, Gord, Tiia, John, and Frank. I appreciate it.
Frank, you summed things up neatly. I have to remind myself that things could have been worse. And Scott has already said we'll be buying another camera soon. So, as Gloria Gaynor sang, "I will survive!"

OHNO!!!

And there is no way to recover your purse and camera, Mary?

I am so sorry to hear this. I know how unhappy I would be.

I hope you didn't have too much cash in your purse.

And I hope you'll get another camera very soon.

This image is such a knockout!

Look at all those lovely flowers arranged in the most beautiful way.
And their colors - WOW!!!

Love this!!! #11018437

Jill Odice level-classic April 06, 2014

Bummer! For me, not having a camera is feeling like I am crippled...Just remember what goes around, comes around and whoever took your things will pay for it one day...Meanwhile,it's good to have your archives to play with until you get a new camera :-) This is a sweet shot ! #11018601

Ellen Hodges April 06, 2014

Beautiful capture and going to say a prayer to St. Anthony that you find it all!!!! #11018911

Nadia Paul April 06, 2014

I'm so sorry to hear you've lost your purse and camera Mary - there's nothing worse. If this is from your archives then it must be full of gems - gorgeous floral! #11018960

Barbara Waldoch April 07, 2014

So sorry about the purse :-(
Beautiful shot! #11019043

Mary K. Robison April 07, 2014

Debbie, Joy, Kiki, Bobby, Jill, Ellen, Nadia, and Barbara ~ I really appreciate your kind and friendly comments. Thanks very much!
Kiki, I had very little cash and only one credit card, so that was a small relief. Scott took care of cancelling the card and calling the police station, in case anyone turned it in. No one has... Oh, well.
Jill, I was to blame for losing the purse. I had too many bags in my hands, so I put my purse on the car roof "temporarily". Now it's permanently gone. Bummer, indeed.
Ellen, thanks for the prayer to St. Anthony ---I did the same that night. Next step: a prayer to St. Jude ~ patron of lost causes!! At least I haven't lost my sense of humor!
