Description
I took a walk in the garden the other day and caught this little one still sleeping.
Hello everyone. I've been away for five and one-half months but am back and ready to rejoin the Rendo community.
It hasn't been a very good year so far. Cora passed away on June 4. Her picture and story are here:

Two weeks ago her oldest daughter was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer.
My married friends Dennis and Taoli lost someone very dear to them in May. Dennis and Mark knew each other for forty one years. They were best friends and had toured together as members of a rock and roll band for several years in the early 1970s. Mark and I were just becoming friends. This last July someone very special here on Renderosity lost her best friend. Her sister died of cancer on July 9.
And Pauline, my English friend and neighbor, continues her rapid descent into Alzheimer's.
When these things happen I learn lessons. The last six months I have realized that every life has an expiration date so we should not waste it. And we should be good to each other. After all, when all is said and done, we're all we've got.
And me? I'll tell you about my hilarious trip through the American healthcare system tomorrow.

A beauty! Welcome back. Thinking of you
Oh, my friend, it is GOOD to see you again! You've been on my mind this week for some reason, and I've been thinking it was about time to give you another little nudge to see how you were doing. What a beautiful photograph! The light is gorgeous, and the shallow dof makes this something quite special. Welcome back!
Great to see you back, Mark!

GORGEOUS LITTLE FLOWER! HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK MARK
Welcome back, Mark! beautiful image! I remember Cora, and I,m sorry for her death! I think she was a great fighter, because she made it to June, four months of the time doctors gave her. i'm Sorry to hear how many friends of yours are gone. I'll be waiting for your history!
So much sadness around you - but I am glad you are finding your way back slowly, to join the community once more, Mark - I have been thinking about your well-being and meaning to write again, but I have also been absent for a while from here and so very busy lately myself ... take care, BB
Great job on this.
Joy! you are back. I've missed you.
