MY HOPE IS A BRIGHT CHEERFUL DAY FOR ALL!

Good morning, good day, good evening (whatever fits)! I am posting a day late partially due to my schedule and partially to catch-up on replying to comments and up-voting them, from my mid week post. I did get my photographs ready early on Saturday, and then started writing late on Saturday. Hope the extra day wait is worth it.


We finally received some needed rain, although for us it was a lot. We received around 7 centimeters of rain in 24 hours. Most of it came in an hour. I have lived in this area for over 38 years and this was a first time I experienced this here. I have lived in areas with tropical storms and this reminded me of them, except cold rain. It is probably best that I have yet to plant my garden. Containers I can move to protection.

It seems I always say I have a hectic schedule. I guess I have to except I always have a lot to do. I did take some time on Thursday and went on a road trip with my granddaughter. It was a great day spending it with her.

The above macro-photograph was taken of one of the flowers I potted for Mother's Day, for my wife. I will have additional photos of this flower in upcoming posts. I am also going to try and bring it into my plant room this Fall and try and keep it growing all winter. The label on the plant when I bought it indicated it was called a Blue Eyed Beauty African Daisy. I have another darker colored African Daisy I will share at a later time. I liked this photo so much it is the background on my desktop now.

This next photo is a closeup of another blossom on one of my apple trees:

I continue to obtain photographs of deer on my game camera (which I will share another here), but recently I got a photo of a coyote that was passing through:

This next photograph is a photo off a dock near my daughter's river get away property. It is the Pend Oreille River:

To close I will share one of my many favorite spring flowers, a Pansy. This one almost made it as the first photograph in my post, but the African Daisy was too unique to pass up.:

This brings us to a close of this weekend's posts. As always I trust each person will find something they enjoy and brightens their day. Below I have kept many of the links and information as I have used in previous posts, although have added extra links to help keep everyone informed. I hope you will check them out and offer support.

I would remind everyone that the issues in Venezuela are far from over. Here are a couple of links for programs in Venezuela that can still use our aid. I plan on adding them as partial beneficiaries to this post (it is not a lot, but every little bit adds up over time):

I continue to add each of these projects as beneficiaries to sharing in a portion of the earnings from my post. I am not sure if I added @theunion in my previous post but they are added as another beneficiary.

They are providing good documentation of what they are doing through video, photographs, and narrative). Please take the time and check them out.

There are two other programs located in Bangladesh that I have tried to support as well, and both can always use assistance. Each has an important role to play in their community. These programs were founded by @azizbd.

Check all their blogs for more information on the excellent work they have been doing.

There is another user (https://steemit.com/@theunion) that is trying to help Spanish speaking peoples in the Americas. If I am understanding correctly they will also support users who's first language is other than Spanish.

Here is a quote from their recent post:

The @theunion project was created to reward and contribute to the growth of steemit users, who publish 100% original content, helping us to have greater visibility on the platform, always using the slogan "The Union Makes the Force", whose base is mutual support When you click on the image, you will access the original publication, then the curated images will be presented on 14/05/19.

Check out their posts at https://steemit.com/@theunion, where they share several post within their post.

Both @theunion and those whose posts are presented would benefit from support.

I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted. When I use my daughter's photos she is using the T6.

Thank you very much.

Hello sir @r2cornell, nice to meet you again. in the Indonesian province of Aceh where I live, we have not received rain in this 1 month. very many plants that really need rain.

I really like all the photo shoots you show. from the first flower, flowers from apple trees, and Pansy flowers. all looks really good. and what I like best is pansies. the color and motives are extraordinary. May your days be as beautiful as the flowers you display.

As indicated in this publication, is having problems with time management, it seems that this situation is being presented to all.

Friend, the solution is to make a list of priorities.

I used to list my priorities using the Eisenhower matrix. It has given me good results.

On the other hand, the images that you show us in these publications are beautiful.

Thanks for sharing your work

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

I use lists, but will check out the Eisenhower matrix. Thanks

Great photography and very beautiful flower! Thanks for sharing to us. Have a wonderful day! @r2cornell

Welcome. And definitely it sounds like you'll facing the Extreme Weather. Have a blessed time ahead.

Very beautiful photos @r2cornell and these flowers look amazing, and the landscapes with animals are very beautiful. You are in spite of a lot of work, you have time to take such amazing photos, well done!

You are correct. There is so much beauty around us, even the tiniest of flowers. That is why I enjoy photography.

Wao what a great and impressive photography. All photos looks so beautiful. Second pic is my favourite in your photography. Deer are also looks amazing. And your doughter click are also very fabulous. River looks so impressive. I m so enjoying your photography. Thanks for sharing.@r2cornell.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

It is a great publication and some beautiful images, Greetings.

Thank you very much, and thank you for visiting my blog. Welcome! It is always great to welcome someone new to my posts!

Thank you sir for a good and high-quality publication. Good luck to you

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

Hi @r2cornell,

My good friend. I hope you are very well. From my beloved country, Venezuela, I send you a big hug for you and your wife.

Beautiful photo and that photo represents the wonderful day that you describe which happened with your granddaughter. I'm very happy about that.

Surely if you must have other photos we will wait for them.

I see you have pets that are bystanders HAHAH I say this because of the coyote that was passing through.

Greetings with a lot of love for everything he does for the Venezuelans.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

We have a lot of wildlife I have yet to capture with camera. My game cameras help, but eventually I will capture more.

As the weather continues to warm and more flowers bloom I will have to build a portfolio for next winter so I can keep posting. I think I will create a folder to put them in so I can find them when I need them.

The river looking capture feel calm mind. If I stay there I can easily meditate there. Your living area has more assets to see and feel. Captures like as golden drawings.

Hello Sir, How are u doing? Wow... u post very beautiful flowers. The nature also beautiful. The photo of deer and dog are nice too. Thank u for sharing it Sir. My eyes fresh to see ur pics.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

OMG! I am dying for this beauty of the flower. i am amazed that how much the nature is beutiful and fine. Loving it..

Posted using Partiko Android

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

I am always stuck as to which is my favorite photo when it comes to flowers, and which to put first. The first one and the last one made it tough this week. But I felt the first one was unique and had to go first.

You chose it right. This looks perfect at the first place as a cover photo. Flowers are always tempted a lot and its hard to choose best one.

It's look so amazing, I am wondering to see it how beautiful looking it. Nice photography.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

Beautiful pictures!
I was really surprised to see the image of the coyote, because for me those animals are only seen on television, and it should be exciting to have them so close, good luck to you!

Greetings and thanks for your publication, by the way the flower you gave your wife is very beautiful!💝
