Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Mum

An image from my archives, taken on 29 December 2009. I had put it aside a while ago, when I was backing up a few files ready to delete from my hard drive, so it saved me from clicking through lots of images now, to find something suitable to post. Mouse-clicking is definitely the main culprit when it comes to the pain in my arms and shoulders, but, like most people, of course there are so many things that I use the computer for.

A small, brilliantly green flower that was in a small, mixed bunch of flowers that I bought from my usual place a few days ago. Explore Front Page, 18th November 2009

A colorful glimpse at a very small Mum flower, seen through my Raynox 250 macro lens. Didn't have it zoomed in the whole way, though, which is why it's a more distant photo. Just thought the colour and light were quite pretty. Finding it less easy to come up with photos and actually posting them at the moment - not because I don't have any, but going into my archives is not what I particularly like doing. I seem to have lost a bit of my passion for photography at the moment - partly because some of the things I love to photograph are over till next year. Certainly have lost my passion for going on walks, which is not good at all. The recent snow and cold we had started this feeling, but even though we are having pleasant weather right now, I just can't make myself get out there : ) It's just so much easier to stay home. Several things are weighing on my mind and, even though they aren't taking up any of my time, they do have an emotional effect on me because I know they are difficult times for those involved. My brother in England is in hospital after what they think was a mild heart attack recently. Sounds as if they might put in a stent. And my oldest daughter goes in for her bi-annual surgery the day after tomorrow. My youngest daughter from Vancouver had to move back to Calgary a few days ago, as she was unable to find a new job out there. I will have to really push myself to get out there somewhere, preferably before the snow returns : )
