Update and a Reminder. :)

Hello, Everyone!

I went for my 6 months check-up today and got the results of my CT, X-rays, and blood work, which I did last week.

I am still cancer free. (Whew!)

It's been 12 months since chemo and radiation ended, and 17 months since the surgery to remove my tumor.

Now on to the next 6 months.





Beautiful entries for the August contest! Thank you!


Now for the reminder...


More entries, please!


Thank you!

Solly Mack

I remember your Cajun trail photo essay with such fondness. That alligator, hidden with the grin. So fab! Glad for the good news!

I am not sure that you will ever go into those exams without worrying, but each all-clear exam must give you much relief.

I will not be entering this contest. I have enough trouble just learning the very basics, and I have no idea how to accomplish a panorama. I keep hoping to get better with simple photography before I move to something more difficult.

I'm not good at panoramas but I've been trying. I might post some of mine later. I'm not entering, of course.

Thanks, Curmudgeoness!
