But hey, who am I to tell a girl to forget that bucket of water when she picks up her camera?<br /><br />I'm a great leaf photographer because unless the wind is blowing or the squirrels have overdosed on their morning Wheaties, leaves pretty much hold still and give me time to get my act together.

I agree they are equally as beautiful as flowers. I also loved the brown leaves you shot.

I always keep a round of two or three different antibiotics here at the house, and pretty much know when to use what. I never self-medicate without knowing exactly what I'm doing, knowing I do need an antibiotic and why, and which one I ought to take. Most years, however, I never use any of the prescriptions—simply discard and refill to stay fresh as needed…just in case. <br /><br />I just wanted the doctor to confirm what I was already sure about—plus it was time for a checkup and I also wanted to get an H1N1 vaccination which the clinic had just gotten in. (I did…bring on the swine!)<br /><br />I'm definitely on the upswing today.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-7716391867139699752009-12-03T07:00:24.652-05:002009-12-03T07:00:24.652-05:00Kelly (CG)…

Eyes still something of a problem, though not nearly so bad as yesterday. But certainly getting there…thank God!<br /><br />Rain can do amazing transformations to the colors (not to mention the sheen) of <br />the most common things. You wouldn't have given these leaves a second look without the rain and dark sky overhead—which, while you don't actually see it in the photo, changes the chromaticity, or kelvin units (color temperature) of the light itself and, in this case, really pops the scene. I shot this on about the last day for the leaves, when what few remained were being stripped off by the storm; afterwards, the trees were almost all bare. <br /><br />I love shooting leaves, though I don't know why. But to me, they can be as pretty as flowers—and I think this photo shows some of that.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-60696076035822302302009-12-03T02:06:32.429-05:002009-12-03T02:06:32.429-05:00I just hope your bug doesnt come across to Oz, but...I just hope your bug doesnt come across to Oz, but I am glad you are feeling better.<br />Those leaves are magic.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-7575323415271219452009-12-02T21:19:01.882-05:002009-12-02T21:19:01.882-05:00You have a very smart doctor--doctors are frequent...You have a very smart doctor--doctors are frequently pressured to give their patients anti-biotics, even though most "bugs" are actually viruses that are impervious to anti-biotics.

I think the doctor's right, 7 days should be much, much better soon! <br />I do so love the picture with this post. Amazing how many brilliant colors there are in nature! Best artwork in the world! I think this one is one of my favorites. You do leaves so well :)))<br /><br />Sending you a get-well hug....and quickly washing myself of germs afterward...LOL <br /><br />Rest and feel better soon!
