Lily from the 'backside'...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 9 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Since we are studying "Old Testament Stories from the BackSide" by J. Ellsworth Kalas, in our Bible study, a little liberty was exercised in titling this shot.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Great angle, and another beautiful macro with amazing light......
Today's the first I've seen of your diagnosis......I keep you in my thoughts, and hope the procedure goes well and accomplishes it's task successfully!!!!
Geez, doesn't it suck getting older????? If it's not one thing with an am3'er, it's something else with another!!! But it's great to have the support of all the other am3'ers,,,this site is a blessing in disguise!!

@Susan: Thank you, Susan.
Yes, this is the first I've stated publicly, and I'm thrilled w/my kidney specialist at Moffitt.
Mike & I are at peace w/what's ahead, and praying for a tumor removal and clear margins!!!
You're right; this site and its people are truly blessings.
