Today I went to a field nearby. After my health problems I was scared to go alone. I only went outside with company, most for a short time. I was very unsure the last 2 weeks. But today I thought I must go outside alone!! I missed it a lot, because normally I went daily for a walk I am glad that I don't lost my courage, so I start to do all alone bit by bit And I didn't regret it, all need some time because I am not the old one yet Ilona

This is the field I went daily. Here I can find such tiny butterflies and insects. Nobody else comes in there, it was an old playground for kids that is no longer in use

Hi Ilona!! glad you got out for a bit with your dog & cam! easy does it, definitely good therapy! Here it is very hot, almost too hot to get out, except to go swimming maybe & one must spray themselves down to keep the chigger off! If i could only get up early enough :P but you know what a night owl i am Anyway... these are great... i especially like the last one too :]

I Do need Affection and Love...thats all and think this UFO will bring it to me...

All great pics, but the last one is my fav. I love all the colors! I'm glad you got to go outside by yourself. I hope things get better real fast. :)

Cool photos. I like the one of the ant the best. I am glad you enjoyed your walk and I hope you are better soon. You have inspired me. I think I will have to go on a walk. :-)

I'm confused. What does fresh air man to you? And why does this symbolize fresh air? I looked at these peictures and didn't feel fresh air until the fourth picture or so. Bsteph

Why I use in this topic "fresh air" ? Because I couldn't go outside for a long time, so I just hang around between 4 walls, normally I went everyday to the forest, I love to smell the air.....that's why I name it "I needed fresh air"...I hope I am clear enough....nature is air......nature is medicine...nature is me......

Anything outside 4 walls is fresh air to me.Great stuff Ilona. Enjoy some more fresh air ....I was out at a nice lake the other day and saw this image that brought some of your images to mind.

awesome shots! showing us baloe's ass has definitely made my day, i really needed a smile! :-)
the last shot is really superb!

I think we all understood what u meant Ilona except for that Bsteph who seems to be a 'lil of an "unfriendly" character to put it nicely! Not the first time I notice him in the gallery for the same reasons! Anyway, I'm so happy to know that u're going out again!! This is definitely what u need! U love nature too much to stay home! :) Those last 2 shots are fabulous!! :) Take care of urself my friend and take it easy huh! :)

nitro115: haha, yes I post that one with a reason too, my company in this huge field full with bugs !!!! And nice to hear that I give you a smile on your face....I guess we all need that from time to time in times when you are feel unsure about things.....nice to see you here too Thanks

You are not making my hay-fever any better hehe!! Glad you managed to get out for a while, & thank you for the message in my Inbox! Feel better soon, Steve.

You guys misunderstand me. I'm really a fun guy to be around. It's just that, often without facial cues, what I'm saying can get lost within the forest of typo's and mispellings. I understand the concept of fresh air. The open field and the ants symbolized fresh air as did the beatle. However the first four pictures didn't so. I asked how did the pictures relate to fresh air to you. Ignore TIBET2004UK he's always starting something!! Tibet what did I do to you? Why do you presecute me?? =;-P Bsteph

i'll vouch for you Brian, known you awhile... you're a good guy & tibet2004uk is female, outspoken & can be sweet too so start over please... :]

Hiya Cyn!!! I think Tibet was was joking!!! So I have been hoisted upon my own petard. Bsteph

For some reason last night I thought someone would take Bsteph wrong. That's why I just restated Ilonas view of fresh air....Now let's have some fresh air! OK....Anyway...we are family.

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

Sorry if I misunderstood! ;)

I didn't post this images for show "fresh air" but because my health problems, I stayed a long time at home, without breathing fresh air....That's why I used the title "I needed fresh air" and post some shots from nature, an open field with a lot of air....I have also problems with my English, I am a Dutch one, maybe I use the wrong words for it "forgive me please" let this be a place without "fights"....its not necessary......Pascale "tibet2004uk" is a good friend of mine, she is okay, so there is no reason to think bad about here, she is a lady first class....so why must we ignore her? You have no right to let other people know that we must ignore her!!! So think about that please.....no hard feelings...life is to short for such kind of things..... Ilona
