hello my sweet Ray.. i hope all is well...we always miss you in Uf... "mabuhay " is like the national greetings in the Philippines... it varies upon usage.. sometimes it is said when you welcome somebody to a new place.. sometimes it is a form of praise or admiration toa certain action thing or person.. it is a word of encouragement and good spirits...
i wish you well my dear.. take care always...
hugs to you,
wena

Hi again Neel. My brother's condition is a rare progressive neurological disorder and he slowly but surely gets worse and worse. I have been trying to hire a PA to spend time with him and help with some social activities for him. I still haven't found the right person for the job. More interviews to be conducted at the end of next week. So here I am back on UF and about to start catching up on things. I shall see some of your work in the morning my dear friend. Thank you for your thoughtfulness my good friend.

Thank you so much sweet Mary. Seeing to Ian's needs is an on going task and currently I am still trying to locate and hire the right staff to work with him. I am happy with the domestic carers that we have but finding the right PA is proving to be difficult. I am back on UF again but there are more interviews to conduct at the end of next week.

Thank you so much my dear friend. I am back again on UF after yet another long session of trying to locate the right staff for Ian. I have more interviews to conduct at the end of next week but I have a little time for a while. Ian is down with us over this coming weekend. I am hoping that he will cope with some of the alterations we have had to carry out. Ian hates too much change, bless him. Once again, thank you so much Doyle.

Wonderful complimentary colors that play so well together that even painters seek these combinations. As photographers, we have to find them, not make them, and find them you did. There's an almost achingly exquisite capture of the texture of these delicate petals and the composition, as you well know, is spot on.  )

Lovely flower Ray, I love the details and complexity caught in the petals, very nice DOF. IMO maybe a touch underexposed. I think the composition here is great with everything from the left leading you in nicely into the heart of the flower.

Ray, you're making me hungry for spring! Last weekend the weather started to be really nice (and I have pics from Łazienki as a result ;) ) and now... that's crazy ;p Yesterday we had here snow, rain, snow+rain and hailstorm... Yes, everything during a few hours. I want sun and spring :P
Looooooooovely yellow color and so sharp details ^^ The flower is beautiful indeed!
Hugs,
Ania

Good morning dear Ray,Spring has sprung..;) or at least that,what mother nature telling us. Nothing is more exciting than the first signs of spring,the sight smells delight the senses,its like mother nature wakes up from a long wint ... It may still be cold outside, but in the world of the yellow perch, spring is in the air.... vote 7++++ take care,riny

Wonderful detail and colour. Looks great against the deep green background. And if the temperature is to drop, well, a sprinking of snow on such a flower could be a nice touch...
