Full Blown

I "tried" to catch a cold a few weeks ago before I went to visit my parents but it never really took hold, which I was very grateful for. Traveling with a perpetually runny nose would not be fun! This week, however, l was much more successful. Here you see two of the three items I have been keeping very close at hand lately. I must confess I almost never use a thermometer. I don't need it to tell if I have a fever or not but it seemed to complete this scene.
I have that same thermometer. I only keep one because people cannot attend school if they have or have had a fever in last day. But I am scarily like my mom in that I do not seem to ever run a fever. I did as a younger adult but not now. Hmm... Wonder what is up. Mom would get mad she did not because she could have horrible pneumonia but the nurse on the phone always dismissed it all when mom admitted she had no fever. Poor mama. I miss that lady. Anyway... I am sorry for your successful acquisition if the cold. :0( get better, my friend!

So sorry you're under the weather! But you certainly got a nice black and white out of your cold remedies!
February 6th, 2015  
Very creative, at least you got a nice shot out of it! :)

Maybe add a few used tissues lying around the box? Colds are a mess.

@tunia That was such a good idea, Tunia, thanks! I wish I had thought of that. Maybe next time!

@grammyn no apologies needed! Such is the way of grieving...I bounce back quickly

@espyetta I'm glad!
February 8th, 2015  
I hope you are better now. So glad you did not catch it when on your trip. Love how you wrote you tried to catch a cold.

Excellent story telling capture in black and white. I must confess the strength and shortness of the black-and-white caught my attention before the subject did. I hope your cold is better by now.

As always, your eye for composition did not let you down but let you know that you needed that thermometer to complete the scene. I am also feeling under the weather today and am pretty sure our flights home will not be much fun for me.

Nice still life. Hope you are better.
