This is a brilliant photo Susan, lovely moon! You are a brave lady my friend good bless you, my thoughts and prayers go with you! 10*

It's great to see you get your first image in for the year.... and to see all the well wishers come to comment - there are some here that I rarely see comment, so you should know you are well loved by the community. I read that they didn't want to let air get to that spot you talked about - I think that's why my Mom passed so early... she was healthy, she had climbed up on her cabin roof and fixed a leak around the age of 70... she knew I was on my way up to the cabin too, but that's how full of life she was.... I never seen my Mom laying around - NEVER... she'd go to bed about 12:30 and get up at 4:30.... she only needed 4 hours of sleep - that was her, that was normal.... she never slept in = full of life.... her insurance made her go in... feeling fine... saw a spot on her lungs and called it lung cancer, cut her open and a year and a half later she was gone.... I really feel she'd be with us still today, 11 years later if they wouldn't of cut her open.... personally, I would not let them touch that spot UNTIL you feel it's time and get more than one opinion - like you just did = doctors aren't magicians - they're janitors cleaning = and some don't do a very good job at all.... I'm glad I checked to see if you were posting and contacted you = I put alot of smiles on your friend's face's - I see that.... I missed getting my upload up on Leap day too - well, we have four years to get it right next time - lol

great shot

A very beautiful moon.

First, Susan... I'm so sorry to hear about your latest health challenges. I really feel for you and you will be in my prayers. I'm sorry I haven't been 'on line' lately but I am on tonight and saw your most fabulous moon shot. So pretty. So cool. Please keep posting and keeping us all involved in how you are doing. I care. And I'm glad you're still plugging away and fighting to stay well. Big hugs!!!!

Utterly outstanding!

Really a GRRRRR-eat capture wow

Just beautiful. I love the moon and this is a fantastic image.

Sounds like your Pet Lab is doing OK Susan. ;) What is important is that you are feeling better, and that is Good News! Beautiful capture, now let's Pray the Sun Shines Through! Hugs

Glad to hear you are better. I was just thinking a couple of days ago that it had been a while since we had seen anything from you. Love the photo. I'm counting down the days to my "dark site" trip to try and photograph the Milky Way. I've had no luck with moon shots though. LOL. Enjoy the spring flowers. We still have winter to go here in the Northeast. (getting snow for my birthday...yuck.) Anyways. Hope to see more from you soon.

Never tire of looking at the Moon. Cool one Susan. Best wishes and hugs from Dave :^)

Really beautiful image, and PW is great too. I,ll keep you in my prayers and hope you get better soon.

Lovely shot dear Sis, I hope things will improve for you, what can I say else, take care!?!?

I was so glad to see that you had posted, though sorry to hear of all the pain and illness you have been having. I hope you are feeling better now. I greatly appreciate your taking the energy to post and give us an update on how you are doing. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Such a beautiful Harvest Moon! It glows with a warm golden light. The way you framed it is perfect. It draws the eye to the moon, but doesn't compete with it. Beautiful work!

So good to see a post from you sweet sis, I am sorry you have been so ill. I love your moon. Gentle Hugs. Di. xx

I appreciate every comment you give my artwork..But you should be resting as much as possible. You are missed when your keyboard is quiet but we all know that you are very busy fighting to get healthy. Thats FAR more important! The moon always speaks to me and I love this image. :)

I wish I could you give more than a prayer. But I will pray for them with my guardian angel for help. All the best Susan, big hugs Elke

Beautiful lunar capture!!

such a beautiful image!!! Susan, what a -horror-story... so glad you're doing a bit better now!!! (!) would you please, plsssssss do me a favor? and start focusing on LIFE, not death! sure there are lots of people dying, (so very sorry to hear about your friend!!!!!), but no one goes before his/her time! and prior to that -except for some that chose to come 'here' as 'angels', MHO, forgive me for that?- we all have choices, we do. things come unto our paths... for a reason? cures, options as well! your paradigm is a choice as are your thoughts. and they have 'some' impact on the body -therefore 'better use 'em well'-. in my -native- world, all is energy (Einstein! ;-)), ALL. only frequencies differ. in all the great 'teachings' that is stressed (e.g. Buddha said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” Bible: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”, etceteraaaaa) fear is never a friend!!! (what is good, feeels good!) Someone has done lots of people (in the 'normal world' ;-)) a favour by venting & summarizing all that in a book, a movie and another book... http://thesecret.tv/thepower/ which could be life-altering if that would be your choice, even 'life-giving'... I don't underestimate your burden, by no means!!! sincerely hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say (and nothing else...), it comes from the heart! I would so love to 'hear' you regained your health!!!!! since, of course, all is about YOU!!! seen so many 'miracles' happen, Susan, all 'impossible' acc. to doctors. know of so many cures!!! -on a fysical level-. (oldest example? http://www.whale.to/v/rife.html 100% cure rate. did they give him a medal? nope, they killed him for that!). I can only hope that perhaps you will feel like and maybe choose to read this (thePower) book and see what I mean? for starters... (and all you need can come unto your path... ) IMHO life is about Love... sending you loads & overloads of that & my very best, heartfelt wishes!!!

Lovely image and beautifully presented. always good to see you post :) I feel for you for all the misery you have been going through {{{hugs}} Very glad there is a bit of good in it though. I am also very happy that you are having signs of dpring.. i know how much that means to you. I do think about you and keep you in my prayers. {{{hugs}}}

Beautiful photo, Susan! Glad you were able to finally post it. I am so sorry to hear just how ill you have been and still are. I truly hope that 2012 will be a better year for you!!
