Just want to thank everyone for e-mailing about my shoulder. It has been very very painful. I've been going to therapy three times a week. I have to do work at home that they show me. It has been almost two months since my surgery. Still have a long way to go with it. Won't be commenting much today. Headed out soon for therapy and afterwards have places to go. My youngest daughter will be coming over later to celebrate my birthday. The years just keep rolling by.

Kay- Frist of all Happy Birthday my friend. The healing process can take alot of time, so please pace yourself and let it get to healing and hopefully you will get to feeling better soon.
The colors are stunning. What a macro shot you got here girl. I love how they blend together and how brilliant they are. Yellowish oranges, lavenders and whites, the almost black center with the red ring and the very tip topped off with the red. Lighting and clarity are outstanding. Definitions so well defined of the textures and the the unique design of the piece sticking right out of the center.
Incredible work
You take care of yourself, get well, try to have a wonderful day
