That I made my first blog post. A lot and I mean a LOT has changed since then in blogging, in the world and with me. Come to think of it, I may have been in physical therapy when I first started blogging for the same problem as I’m dealing with now. The recent MRI showed that there was advancement (and not for the better) in my situation but we just keep trudging along, don’t we?
Changes otherwise? Well haven’t we all gotten a bit older, some of us have moved to new areas, families have grown or shrunk and technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. I’ve moved from a Canon T2i to a Sony A1 and I have actually gotten a wee bit of a grip on Photoshop.
Lately with my health being wonky I’ve not done much photography. I do when I have good days and when I don’t…well I don’t do much. I need to look into changing my diet to hopefully give me more energy and less other problems but sometimes it comes down to do you want to enjoy your meal and deal with issues later or avoid the joy of eating that yummy whatever.
Choices! Choices!
Summer is winding down and I will miss it but not the mosquitoes! They can all move to Antarctica! Then again, autumn ain’t too shabby especially if the leaves get enough of what they need to put on a show…we shall see. So happy I’m still standing in the blogging world to me and thank you to everyone who has followed from long ago to just recently.
Here are a few images I took recently on a semi-good day. I didn’t get a good shot of what I was going for but instead got other goodies. “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need” or so the song goes.

I especially like the backlit second photo. The color really shines. And I laughed at your quote from the song. I’ve used it myself; it certainly applies across a variety of circumstances.
Thanks and it surely does apply itself to many things.
Wow! 11 years of blogging! Congratulations 🎉 Gorgeous photos! Wish you all the best!
Thank you ♥
Congratulations.
Thanks, Tim.
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary. Our 10th was in Jan of this year so it seems we started blogging about at the same time… These are quite nice images and sorry to hear your health isn’t so good and crossing fingers it gets better soon. (Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. Have to keep moving forward…even with a few steps back here and there 😉
Beautiful pics!! …and prayers for your health situation to know positive improvements
Thank you and appreciate it ♥
Beautiful photos as always, Teri, I hope you feel much better soon. ☺️
Thank you, John. I hope so too 🙂
Happy blogaversary from one of your early followers turned real life friends. Ah, the food and energy issues are so frustrating. Yesterday I could barely function after too much indulging on my birthday. Today it’s back to the grindstone.
Always nice to see images from the macro queen. Sending healing vibes and cyber hugs. 🙂
Thanks and congrats on the birthday and the “other” birthday 😉
Hi there my friend! Just like Ingrid we met in real life.
Congratulations to you and I sure hope you feel better soon!
Your pictures are beautiful as always! Happy September!
Hey Nancy ♥ I hope we can all get together again one day but life has scattered us, hasn’t it? We all remain friends and that’s what is important. Thanks
Beautifully said! 🙂
Beautiful captures! I especially like the butterfly. Wishing you many more ‘good days.’
Thank you so much, Sue 🙂
Hello there Dashfield! It has been a while to hear your voice. Happy Anniversary – a decade and more to come. As always your photos are fabulous.
Happy 11th blogging anniversary! I passed my 9th this summer. Those are beautiful photos, Teri. Where I am, summers are pretty dry, and I rarely get bitten by a mosquito.
Sending best wishes for a full recovery, Teri.
I don’t know what it is but ever since I was a child I have been a mosquito fave. Glad they don’t pester you and thank you for the well wishes and congrats on your 9th!
