Colourful Stanmore

With our son having surgery today at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital we were up at 4am to get there on time. The 2 hr surgery became 5 hrs and the operation failed to achieve it's objective. All very disappointing.

We filled our waiting time by walking into Stanmore to find a coffee shop, and back through the muddy country park. I was pleased not only to have achieved my full quota of steps for the day, but also to get the camera out for a water shot or two and thereby recording the brighter and most colourful part of the day.

Home again now, after 12 hours at the hospital, and ready for sleep. Back to Stanmore again tomorrow.

oh, how unfortunate; going back again tomorrow does that mean they're going to do it all over again? if so, hope it will turn out for good then. here's hoping and praying.

i love the abstractness that your shot achieved with the water's texture. aces!

That is a shame - sorry you didn't get the outcome you wanted. Lovely colours reflecting in that water.

@summerfield @corinnec @kjarn @onewing @robz @briaan @boxplayer @ziggy77 @carolmw thank you all for your kind comments and concerns. The problem can not be sorted as his bone is now too far damaged to withstand further treatment. He will live with an external cage on his leg for about 9 months and we hope that there will be some improvement during this time - although it will not be an effective as the original plan.
