Description
This is a tribute for Valerie Ducom
I was just getting to know her the past few months..
I had no idea she was even sick and then logged on today and saw all the tributes and my heart dropped...
She was a wonderful photographer and friend...
She will be deeply missed...but she is not suffering anymore...
I know she liked flowers so I did this Iris for her in www.dumpr.net (The Amazing Circle) she always commented on how unusual my circles were...so Valerie this one is for you....
Only did the one step fix photo...
No post work....
Done in www.dumpr.net
Any comments are most appreciated...
And many thanks for your comments on my Tulip Bloom..I did re size it..I thought it looked good that size but everyone it seems wants to see it bigger..Will try to get around to it...
Had chemo today..went in 95 degree weather with no A/C the free on is out in my car....Need to soon get that fixed...Last year it got up to 104 degrees and worked fine then..then it went kaput..
So far haven't gotten sick..but I am hurting quite a bit...hate to sit and sit and get all that poison pumped in me.....but so far it's keeping the cancer from spreading..and that alone makes me tickled...I weigh all of 112....was down to 98 so I have gained some.....stay hungry all the time just can't gain any weight......any idea's????
Again many thanks for the comments and for those of you who favorite this thank you as well....
Will try and catch up on your images soon...I am doing so little by little
3 images in one week hey who woulda thought it? Not me that's for sure LOL but felt I had to do this for Valerie she was such a sweetheart...
Love n hugs
Susan aka Blush~

Pretty flower...Silkylady...
I didn't know Valerie but had seen her name on many postings. Went to her homepage and Gallery and found them empty.. from what I hear, she was posting images so I assume someone deleted her life here.. that is always a shame.. is that Rosity policy or something? I would think that leaving a gallery behind, as a monument to her existance and expression, would be so much better than erasing her. Oh well.. Excellent image and Dedication here Susan... Hugs from Dave :^)
