Description
This Purple Thistle is about the only thing growing now...beside the Queen Anne's Lace and the Goldenrod...due to the drought we are having everything looks burned...so so sad...I believe produce prices will be sky high this winter due to this drought problem...
Outlook Express is not working...Does anyone know how I can add my name along with my son's to get my mail sent off like I was doing...I am computer illeriate so any advise through site mail will be welcomed...
The Dr have me back on my morphine 90mgs in the morning and 90 at night and then 15mg PRN as needed during the day..since I have taken off the patch I feel one hundered per cent better..
Now that I am feeling better and gaining weight...I am more than ready to kick this cancer in the butt and show them that I can and will survive this...
Did one step fix...saturation and hue
All postwork done in PSP 9
Any and all comments are most appreciated
Hugs

SO BEAUTIFUL !! . GREAT SHOT , Hugs , Ana
Oh how pretty Susan, I love the color and the focus! Beautiful. I am so happy you are feeling so much better too! PTL..........
I've never seen one of these plants before. Very pretty Susan. Looks a bit dangerous, like something I wouldn't want to brush up against..lol. Anyway, excel capture here. As far as Outlook goes, double check the email address your sending to is still valid. Call the guy or IM him for the current new email address then edit the contact form, under his name, to reflect the new address. Hope this helps. Hugs from Dave :^)

Sweetie, this is absolutely incredible. The natural look and the clear image is a joy. By far, I think it is one of your very best works! I am so glad you are doing better. And that you are feeling ok after the chemo last week. I am drying more seeds for you so watch for them in the next week or two. :-) Oh, and thistles are one of the very best flowers I think. So many varieties and I've never seen one I didn't like. :-)
