Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 23 June 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
So now my slides to digital tour goes back to one of my earliest shots in the mid 1970s. Taken with my beloved Minolta SRT 201.
These mushrooms were growing in City Park in New Orleans, long before anybody heard of a windy lady named (hurricane) Katrina.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 9/6/08, Sat. A nicely cool Florida morning. Bella likes days like this. Nothing special going on this morning, she's out in the yard now playing with our cat Stella (yes, the names rhyme)... God is good.
Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.
