Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 1 October 2007 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

Found by Viewfinder: three Bells & a Buddha were captured meditating and otherwise hanging around together during a recent summer excursion to Sarasota's Selby Gardens.

Our great news -- since last night, we're back in Florida. Our son was discharged from the hospital Sunday afternoon and is also at his home, where post-op recovering will be a more relaxed process (without nurses and techs and constantly beeping IV machines). We are grateful to God for the healing that we trust and pray will come from the surgery he has undergone.

Very clever title! This is a great capture.
Congratulations on your son getting out of the hospital. I hope he recovers even quicker in the company of loved ones and a familiar setting. :)

I am glad to hear that about your Son , View ........ Very nice Capture here , this would be a dof shot ?

@R: Thanks R; dof shot would be a safe guess, I think. Maybe add the term "accidental" to it. Heh...

My god help you to put behind this hardship and enjoy fine and healthy lives for years to come.

@Amir: I appreciate your good wishes for my son's recovery. He texted me a while ago and was very happy; actually got to take his first shower since last Monday's surgery. That's a happy improvement.

Mandy from Johannesburg, South Africa

This is an awesome shot VF!! The composition is so striking! Glad to hear you're home safely and that your son was discharged! God is good! :)

@Mandy: Thanks for the kind words on this one Mandy. It seems kind of a dark image to me; I brightened it up a bit, pp'ed. We are rejoicing at the good progress our son is making; he's text messaged us several times today and sounds like he is doing great. We're trying to be good parents to a 25 year old and not hover too much, so these t-msgs from him today are almost another miracle. Yes, God is good! =o)

Lost Valley View from Kamloops, Canada

This is really really interesting! I like the overall composition of it! Great news about your son!!!

1 Oct 2007 10:14pm

@Lost Valley View: Thank you LVV. Your comments are encouraging. And thanks too for the good words on our son's recovery. We're delighted. And speaking of delighted, I am delighted to note you have returned to posting pix on a regular basis. You've been missed.

Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States

What wonderful news, I hope your son's recovery continues to be positive. I love this shot, fitting.

1 Oct 2007 11:20pm

@Dawn Sutherland: Thanks Dawn. It's kind of nice to be back, although this past week has been very stressful and tiring. We're overjoyed at the good progress our son is beginning to make toward recovery.

Wolfgang Prigge from Canada

Great news and the perfect photo to go with it. I feel with you for your son...

2 Oct 2007 2:07am

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thank you for these much-appreciated words of affirmation and solidarity. Following last Monday's surgery our son is improving so much, especially since Saturday.

Organik from Australia

This image is pure peace VF. It's beautiful and the way you've interpreted it is perfect. I could see this in my garden! ;)

I know this is an older post but I hope your son is making progress with his recovery and healing VF. My thoughts are with you all.

12 Oct 2007 8:19am

@Organik: Thanks Organik; I'm pleased that you like this very peaceful image. And also thanks for your good wishes for my son's recovery. He is making progress, but it will take him a while to get back to "normal" because before the surgery he was so far down that "normal" is still up there as a reachable goal. The good thing is that it is definitely reachable now.
