Tiny Ballet Slippers

I photographed Harper's ballet slippers a few weeks ago when she was visiting after dance class. I just got around to downloading the photos from my camera this afternoon. It's been a challenging couple of weeks taking care of my mom with her injured back while trying to shake an upper respiratory virus that just wants to hang on and on and on...my camera/photography/365 have all been getting dusty on the shelf. I'm hoping to get back in the game now. I've really missed everyone here!!

Three good things:

1. My mom just might be turning a corner with her back...new meds from her doctor seem to be helping.
2. Absolutely gorgeous mid-September weather
3. Sleeping with the windows open and a cool breeze blowing. Ahhh..........
Love this simplicity

She must be very proud of her ballet shoes- I remember the book of that name! Glad your Mum is on the improve! You too!

Lovely shot - they are so tiny!!! Have been worried about you and your mom...I hope you both continue to improve!

Nice shot, and it sounds like it has been extremely busy. I hope things slow down for you, and that you begin to feel better

@happypat Just the tiniest hint of fall in the air here, Pat. In fact, if not for the ceiling fans I'd probably have to close the windows and turn the AC back on. Hope the weather in London was pleasant for your 365 get together...I'm still thinking about that and what fun you all must have had!!

@bpaquette Thanks, Barbara...all is improving for both my mom and me. Thankfully she's dealing with a muscle issue and not a fracture, but at 79 it takes forever to see significant improvement. And my immune-suppressing medications leave me with only willpower to fight off infections and crud. We've been a rather sorry duo the past two weeks. :)

Thankfully your Mom is nearby now...although now you probably feel obligated to go help when maybe you ought to be resting. Sigh.
