Description

Didn't know it was your birthday until I saw someone's post and had to do one for you...I hope you had a wonderful birthday and got lots of gifts,cards,well wishes,hugs..and more to come...I hope your birthday was wonderful........so my friend and sis this image is for you....... As for me........I have found out my cancer is at Stage 4.......instead of Stage 3...right now we are treating it with a pill called Femara..it reduces the estrogen produced in the body and helps starve the cancer cells...and I am getting am injection of Xgeva once a month to strengthen my bones....going to repeat the test in 3 mos and go from there......it has came to my attention that maybe everyone doesn't like me to comment about my health on their image...if it offends you in any way let me know..and I can IM site mail for those who want to know..Have been actually thinking about this....and thought from now on I would let you know in my post...or if you want to site mail me..I have really been hurting the past couple of days and just not been feeling well at all....then learning my cancer was Stage 4 instead of 3 threw me for loop..I cried forever and was in a complete daze for a few days.....but I am better now except for my pain..and I will kick this in the butt like I have before..Not gonna let this ole cancer get this gal down........Went out to my cousins a few wks ago and got some good pics...I need to upload them but just haven't had the desire to do so until I saw it was Lynell's birthday and knew I had to get up an image for my Tenn sis:) also been thinking about posting some poems again as some people are reading them and leaving me really great comments.....this goes back to when I first started here......so for them go to that far back and read my poems means a lot to me..this whole site does........You are my 2nd family and I love all of you..just hope you don't tire of me.....LOL......... As usual all post work done in PSP9 Adjusted hue and saturation..sharpened image more..one step fix solution added borders and text.... Hope all of you had a safe and happy 4th of July Hubby did BBQ chicken on the grill and I had a few veggies to go with...almost went to watch the fireworks at the lake but just felt too bad and was too hot to go get in all that traffic and wait for an hour to even move and get out on the way home....... Lynell I hope you liked your post....and hope you had a wonderful birthday.... Thank you for all your comments and for those of you who fav the image as well Hugs n love Susan aka Blush~

Gorgeous capture Susan! I think I have been losing ebots on the changeover at Rosity Susan. I have not received any notification, whatsoever. I'm sorry you have had such a shock. You are incredibly brave. Please take heed what Mike has said. I admire his sentiment and you are in our prayers also. Steve ;)

Ok, I finally got here. And so glad I did. A beautiful mimosa and fabulous clarity. You did this so well, I can sense how soft and feathery it feels if you run your finger over it.

Beautiful image. Sorry to hear about your health news. Here's hoping the medicine chases it away.

I can almost smell this; it's such a gorgeous and intense image. Flowers are like that. I have yet to capture any in a really satisfactory manner, but then I'm one of those typical "bugs and snails and puppy-dog-tails" sorts of guys, so I tend to photograph things that are slimy, or in possession of lots and lots of legs. I once thought it was just a guy thing, but there are lots of women here on renderosity who do more bug shots than me! Funny how that works. But anyway, this is about a gorgeous flower and not a bug; the details in this are so amazing, especially for something that would blur at the merest hint of a breeze, even from you breathing on it. Fantastic. The blossom looks so fluffy and fragile, almost dream like. You have a great sense of color too. I really like that, but then color is one of my weaknesses...kinda like beer and chocolate (not at the same time, mind you.) This is a fantastic dedication too: very warm and gentle.

I'm not familiar with this particular flower but it sure is beautiful!--like your spirit, Susan. This is your gallery, your platform to say in pictures and words what is in your heart. There will always be an immature few who can't deal with life's realities--and especially with Cancer and those who are expreiencing its relentless ravishings. Don't pay attention to such folks; their opinion is nothing. Most of us WANT to know how you are doing. You are always in our hearts and minds. I've always believed that honesty was best in such matters, even when it hurts like hell. We who support you, want to you speak of your pain, your worries and concerns, and yes especially of your victories. I think often of your husband and family, too. Cancer as you well know is a family, not an individual affair. It affects everyone around you as well as yourself. Wonderfully, I think that applies even to your cyber friends too. You are a part of us. How can we NOT be affected too. But remember your true friends want to be affected. Jeremy
