Moved Again!

*******************************************************

Well, even though it seems like we just moved in here, it has been about 10 months  in and landlord says we have to be moved out by the end of March...at the end of our lease. Unhappy? You betcha! I hate moving, and I want to stay where we are until I'm ready for the move to New Mexico. It's longer from now because I ended up with blood clots in my leg and my lungs, spent some time in the ICU in November, and another week after that on the step-down unit. Now I have PCAs, RNs, housekeepers, etc., coming into my home to help me and keep me from deteriorating even worse. Thank God for that! By already being involved with this long-term home health care program, it means they can give me help both packing and actually moving us, which will be a Godsend.

I HATE moving so very much, and really only wanted to do one or two last moves - one to NM and the other into our house in NM once it is built for me! Now we have yet another step.

I have been basically shut into my apartment since my discharge from the hospital 2 days before Thanksgiving, which means I haven't gone out and gotten any photos from the awesome snowstorms and great winter photography that has been available. Once we get moved and I will hopefully have some sort of ramp set up so that I can get in and out of my home, then I will be back out in nature taking as many photos as I can! I am SO discouraged about having to move, but our new place will have a yard where I can set up birdfeeders and birdbaths so that I can encourage them to come into my yard so I can photograph them and play around with the camera more on a daily basis.

Hoping that everyone has been well and that you all have had a great winter (summer for your Aussies!).

Love to you all.  :)

OK, so now we have been in the new place for about a month, and while there is still a LOT to unpack, I've taken some precious time out to go out in the neighborhood and the park (which is only a 1/2 block away!!!), and use my wonderful camera. I've been really happy with what I get on it, I've been really lucky light-wise so that I'm getting just what look I want without having to tweak anything, and this has been a fabulous spring for flowers lasting a long time. :)  I :heart: using my camera, and I'm getting to know a few of the neighbors in the new neighborhood because of all the wonderful photo opportunities I'm grabbing!

I have the official word now that my showcase is going to begin next month, so I'm going to be working on getting those photos and fractals I want printed up and framed - but first I have to dig out the closet that I so smartly put the frames in prior to the big move!!! It is likely to be a high-peaks mountain type expedition, as there's big furniture, 3 telescopes, a desk, trunks, a table, and a lot of other miscellaneous stuff between me and that closet! :wow:

Thank you to all of you who have visited my page and checked out the work on here even while I've been a little less active. I appreciate every bit of every comment, critique formal or non-formal, and every point of view. Please don't hesitate to actually submit critiques for my pictures - I would greatly appreciate constructive criticism on whatever I post.

Hope everyone has a nice end to their week-end and a beautiful week to come. :wave:

Hi :)  I haven't been on dA for a while as we had to pack and move. Grr, I hate the moving process, but I DO like our new place. I've been out and around taking photos in the neighborhood already, and will be posting some shortly. Missed the annual Flower Show, but the Tulip Festival is in 3 weeks, and I hope that the flowers last until then. If they are too ahead, season-wise, I'll get over there and take all the photos I want before the actual festival.

I have the frames all ready for displaying my photos, but at this point can't get to the closet in which they are stored! Thought I was SO clever putting things away so that I would know for sure where they were - yeah, that was funny! Now there are tons of boxes all arranged nicely IN FRONT OF the closet into which they were put. Hah! I really skunked myself there - the boxes are too heavy for me to move, most especially after all the effort that happened getting ready to move - have to recover from that for a while.

Anyway, I'll be posting photos soon and will be exploring what everyone else has been doing during my hiatus, too. Looking forward to seeing all your creativity!  :)

Happy New Year to all my friends, watchers, and anyone else who ever reads this. I hope your new year is filled with health, happiness, family, fun, friends, song, love, and prosperity, and that this year is the beginning of the best years ever.

Thank you to all those who are my watchers, thank you to all who have collected my work, and thanks that everyone posts their wonderful art work so that we may see it. You are all inspirations to me.

I should have a lot of new work coming up, as I got a brand spanking new Olympus SP-590-UZ 23X optical zoom, 12mp, and 5X optical zoom, along with 2 image stabilization programs that help to take care of my shaking, and I also got a nice new tripod that is light enough for me to work with while being heavy enough and substantial enough to not let my shaking hands on the shutter button shake the tripod too! LOL Can you tell I'm excited about my new camera? I have even brought the camera, in its' case, to my bed to stay up by my head and be safe from anything that might happen to it! ROFL

I'm really looking forward to seeing all the wonderful works that will be uploaded here on dA in the forthcoming year.

Happy New Year, everyone!
