Description
Here's a sunshine-bright healing picture for Mike (Faemike55) as well as a fun story to brighten his (and our) day.
There's a five-year-old girl I see frequently who is very serious about many things, as only five-year-olds can be. She was going to tell me a story one evening, and she sat down with great aplomb and began:
"Once upon a time," she said, and then she paused. "Wait. Do you want this story to be all scary and crying, or all sunshine and meatballs?"
"I would like sunshine and meatballs," I replied.
"Okay. So once upon a time ..."
... and she gave me the "Sunshine and Meatballs" version of the story, which I have since forgotten.
Mike, I wish for you only sunshine and meatballs, and the quickest and most complete healing possible. Bill and I both send our best to you. Take good care, old friend, and come back soon!

Beautiful capture.
Gorgeous flower. I will never understand why these things happen to such nice people.
so sad hear about Mike... so wonderful story and picture, sunshine and meatballs, yes thats what he would like for sure!
Yes, gorgeous flower: Your wish is all sunshine and meatballs (a perfect image for Mike's wonderful imagination), and your image is all softness and love. Beautiful soft tones and light, and a wonderful text for Mike. I wish Mike healing through and through; and when he's able to come back, he's gonna see how appreciated he is---and he deserves it. Heal totally Mike! You're loved here! (Beautiful work, Tara, in both image and words...)
awesome capture
It is very nice!
superb T!!
sunshine and meatballs is the perfect answer. a great macro and dedication to Mike.
Very nice close-up Tara.
What a marvellous tale !
The perfect image for the title and for Mike.
Pretty flowers and dedi for our friend. Nice capture.
"Sunshine and Meatballs" - was that the sequel to "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" (which was a book I read to my then toddler son almost 40 years ago)?
Beautiful yellow softness & elegance. Along with many other folks here, I wish Mike the best.
P.S. Tara, I figured if anyone spotted the disappearing wood in my rusty wreck shot, it would be you. For someone who has had so many eye issues, you're amazingly eagle-eyed!
Great shot, i love the yellow!
Excellent composition. Yellow is sometimes difficult to capture.
