Flickr Fun

Awhile back, JenB asked us to post happy-flower-baby-animal pics, and so I went out and snapped a photo of the lone decent-sized flower in our backyard (surrounded by other little flowers.) I thought I might pick up a baby-horsie stuffed animal to stick in there, but then it rained and the flower isn't looking so hot anymore. (Besides, I can't compete with Jen's backyard, anyway!)

But then today, a friend of mine told me about her brother-in-law who was just diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and another friend-of-a-friend who is about to have surgery to remove a (thankfully "benign") brain tumor. And bloggy people are going through cancer, and then Jenn S. wrote an incredibly well-written tear-jerker today about her ongoing difficulty with facing her mother's terminal illness. So I remembered my little photo. Above is my tiny offering of a little happy flower pic, taken with a cameraphone that decided to go bonkers after the sync.

Today we had a beautiful sunset. Of course, photos do it no justice, but it is another small offering of happy/calming photos. (Why is it that those stupid inspirational posters always have silly sunsets on them? Ah well, I will join the cheesiness...)

Meanwhile, I am fortunate that everyone in my family is healthy and happy. The Cat, in fact, decided to entertain himself by posing for my cameraphone with his silly faces (click for more on Flickr:)
