    Very pretty Lisa. I guess if you live in San Diego that is a vacation. lol I have never been to the West coast. Maybe someday. I've made it to Texas and that is as far west as I have traveled. Enjoy your staycation.

    how I have enjoyed these beautiful photos today, and the hearts I know are behind them. Here are a couple of mine, nothing special technically, but always reminds me how lucky I am to live where I do and have the good sense to take a minute away from bc to enjoy the little moments.

    Lisa that is interesting about the sheep to wool program.

    Katy, I am glad you have enjoyed the photos. You live a beautiful area for sure. Thanks for your pics. Looks like you are just beginning chemo. How are you doing so far? Hope things go well for you.

    Love,

    I'm so excited to find this thread - you all have taken some GORGEOUS photos!! My surgery was on Monday, so I planned to have a lot of fun the day before - a visit to the Carlsbad Flower Fields! Never been there in all my years living in Southern California, plus got to hear some great music performed there by some dear friends. Of all the photos I took, here is my favorite (I LOVE taking pictures of flowers. Glad to see others here do as well! :D)

    Lisa, gorgeous flowers. What is that first one. Is the second one dianthus?

    Cheesequake, love your user name. Gorgeous flowers. Glad you had a fun day before surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery. I know BCO has changed some of their profile choices lately but I have never seen FISH before. May I ask what that is?

    Hi Nancy, thanks for the comments! FISH is the type of test they used to determine that I was HER2+. IHC came back equivocal, FISH is apparently the "next level" of testing when that happens.

    This place is a haven for nesting birds.

    Even though the Canada geese can be quite an annoyance the babies are adorable.

    Hello Ladies, Its been longer than I thought since I was here last. I missed so many lovely photos. I love the birds and ducklings! Spring!! That gorrilla is amazing! Nancy, I hope your photography instructor is behaving!! He should make it enjoyable not difficult.

    My doctor put me on Effexor in an attempt to encourage me to restart the tamoxifen in a month or so and it has made me so tired. I think indolent best describes it. I am sleeping a bit better but have been doing hardly anything, just editing some photos, when I have not been working .I think DH just thinks I am lazy! I have a 5 hour drive in July to my photography workshop so I need to get my act together before then. I think part of it was the stress after my stepfather died and all his debt. I started avoiding my email but have not heard anymore from his lawyer since I paid his account off and told him I could not afford to pay him anymore. I had to pay him about $12,000 for his work up to the funeral as I wanted to make sure that at least got done!!

    I missed the e-mail from the head of the local photography club to drop off photos for the summer exhibition. She is SOOOO good. It gave me second thoughts about submitting mine but decided to anyway. I was in a panic but she said I can take them tomorrow morning when they are hanging them and they are having a little opening celebration with snacks on Wednesday night so that will get me out of my chair!!. My egret pic was in a one day exhibition last month and I snuck up on a few people who liked it so that was exciting but DH did not want to attend which was a bit of a downer.

    I have put a few pics in frames this weekend and hopefully they will not look too out of place. Here are a few of them. Lightroom is great. I wished I had got it ages ago as it and Photoshop elements compliment each other.

    Welcome back!

    I know you have been through a lot. I hope that the meds will work and that you can get back on the Tamoxifen. Glad you are going to get to show some of your photos in the exhibition. That should be fun. Your July adventure sounds very exciting. I have been in a rough patch for several weeks. I injured my back and I missed a photo workshop because of it. I got very sick and then got very dizzy and started to get sick again a few days ago. I was supposed to visit my mom in April and that never happened. I am hopefully leaving on Tuesday for a three week stay. I am still having some dizziness issues which now I think might be TMJ. I have been out shooting a little but nothing like I would have liked to.  I am taking Photoshop Elements in June in a very concentrated session of two three hours sessions for two weeks. I will make up this workshop sometime in the future that I missed a few weeks ago.

    Love your photos. I especially like your macro shot of the flower. So beautiful. Hope you feel better each day so you can get out there and enjoy the spring with your camera.

    Good to see you back.

    Nancy
