Rough Weather

Another week without posting! I looked at my calender and it looks a little naked! And sorry about the lack of commenting lately! Last week my Mom had a stroke. She is recovering really well! When we went to visit her in the hospital she looked good and her speech was back! Its really a miracle!
When certain unpredictable events happen, it really opens your eyes!
I've been looking at all your great masterpieces everyday! I'm looking forward to catching up!
I can't wait to pick up my camera again!
wow stunning shot it looks like a postcard. Love the processing you have done

Oh goodness, you've had a long few weeks. So sorry about your mother. I'm glad to hear she is doing better. Here's hoping she improves everyday and that she will be feeling better very soon.

Heading to Door County next week and my sister promises to take me to see a cool lighthouse. I will post when I return. Your photo is gorgeous Jerry. Love the editing. I doubt mine will look anything like this . . . but it will be fun trying to make something of it.

Just when you think things are going smoothly life throws you a loop-de-loop! Thankfully your mom sounds like she got medical attention really quickly which makes for a much better recovery. I hope she continues her good recovery and life settles down so you can pick up your camera.

@mchartwig Thank you, Celi! Good luck with the lighthouse! I couldn't get close enough to this one so I had to crop it and and process the poop out of it! :o) Ther was a huge fence around! They offered tours but I didn't want to wait! I'm kicking myself now! :o)

Such a fantastic sky, and drama.

Prayers for your mom. It's tough to face changing roles.

Sorry to hear about your mother but I am glad she is doing a little better. I understand about missing time here. My mom just had knee replacement surgery in April and I lost about a weeks time just for that.

BTW this image is awesome. A FAV for me.

Just read your commentary - your Mom and family are in my thoughts and prayers - There is an optimal time for treatment to start after a stroke and it makes a huge difference - sounds like your Mom got what she needed very promptly and with good results - Kia Kaha - Stay Strong.
