Around a month has elapsed since I last published. My eye surgery was moved up, and I am still adjusting to my new vision. Seeing distance is no problem, as both eyes are perfect. I have to wear reading glasses for anything close-up. When on the computer, I have a pair of reading glasses to read the print on the screen. I wear a pair of yellow-tinted sunglasses for driving and or outdoor activities. Anything close up is very blurry. I am still adjusting but happy to be able to see at a distance.
Han pasado unos dos meses desde mi última publicación. Mi operación ocular se adelantó, y aún estoy adaptándome a mi nueva visión. Ver de lejos no es ningún problema, ya que ambos ojos están perfectos. Tengo que llevar gafas de lectura para ver de cerca. Cuando estoy en el ordenador, tengo un par de gafas de lectura para leer la letra de la pantalla. Llevo unas gafas de sol amarillas para conducir o hacer actividades al aire libre. Todo lo que veo de cerca es muy borroso. Sigo adaptándome, pero estoy contento de poder ver de lejos
I had my plans for semi-retirement put on hold. It was difficult to accept because I am still tired from many work years. Working with the sick and disabled can drain you of energy. I have not given up and found a way to get five days of coverage to take some days off. I have things set up for the end of July. I also have a Social Worker looking at options so that I may still get to retire sooner. On the positive side of everything, I receive a significant increase in pay for care. First increase in 17 years.
Fue difícil aceptarlo porque todavía estoy cansada de muchos años de trabajo. Trabajar con enfermos y discapacitados puede dejarte sin energía, sobre todo cuando lo haces durante más de 50 años. En julio me darán 5 días de descanso. Tengo todo preparado para finales de julio. También tengo un asistente social que estudia las opciones para que pueda jubilarme antes. En el lado positivo de todo, recibo un aumento significativo en el pago de la atención. Primer aumento en 17 años.
Summer is now here, and with it, hot weather. The cover photo is a macro view of a miniature rose I gave my wife 4 or 5 years ago. I bring it into the garage each winter to keep it alive. It has had more blooms on it this year than ever before. As with many of the flowers I planted over the years, they were gifts for my wife. They help lift my mood now that she is gone. I have two new bushes growing. Per her long-standing wish, I placed her ashes from her cremation under the two roses. The yellow one is in bloom, and I am getting photos. The second one has many buds, so it is a waiting game. This is a nice lead-in to my flower photographs for this publication.
El verano ya está aquí, y con él, el calor. La foto de portada es una vista macro de una rosa en miniatura que regalé a mi mujer hace 4 o 5 años. Cada invierno la llevo al garaje para mantenerla viva. Este año ha florecido más que nunca. Como muchas de las flores que he plantado a lo largo de los años, eran regalos para mi mujer. Me ayudan a levantar el ánimo ahora que ella ya no está. Tengo dos nuevos arbustos. Según su antiguo deseo, coloqué las cenizas de su cremación bajo las dos rosas. La amarilla está en flor y estoy recibiendo fotos. La segunda tiene muchos capullos, así que habrá que esperar. Es una buena introducción a mis fotografías de flores para esta publicación.
I have two more photos of the same rose at different stages. The first one is a bud, which is always full of promise. The second rose photo is when it is fully open.
Tengo dos fotos más de la misma rosa en diferentes etapas. La primera es un capullo, que siempre es prometedor. La segunda es una rosa completamente abierta.
The following photograph is of an iris. They bloom in early spring. I have many purple ones, but this light blue iris I found growing behind a juniper a couple of years ago. I have been giving it extra care to get some lovely blooms. The extra work paid off, as you can see in this photo.
La siguiente fotografía es de un iris. Florecen a principios de primavera. Tengo muchos de color púrpura, pero este iris azul claro lo encontré creciendo detrás de un enebro hace un par de años. Lo he cuidado mucho para que florezca. El trabajo extra ha merecido la pena, como se puede ver en esta foto.
My last two photographs are of one of my Peonies. I have several varieties that bloom at different times. I find all my Peonies beautiful, and it is difficult to choose a favorite. This one is high on my list of favorites. I love the blend of pink and white. I hope you enjoy the photos.
Mis dos últimas fotografías son de una de mis peonías. Tengo varias variedades que florecen en diferentes épocas. Todas mis peonías me parecen hermosas y es difícil elegir una favorita. Esta es una de mis favoritas. Me encanta la mezcla de rosa y blanco. Espero que disfruten de las fotos.
I use a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for most photographs except where noted. I do have an older PowerShot Canon camera that I use from time to time.

This brings us to the end of this publication. I hope you find something in it that you enjoy. I will continue to update you as I move toward my semi-retirement, which will lead to more blogging. I may focus my efforts on blogging on the platforms where I get the most comments and the platforms where I get the best support. To me, the support is twofold. First the number of comments, and the second is the amount of earnings on the publication.
Con esto llegamos al final de esta publicación. Espero que encuentren algo que les guste. Seguiré informándoles a medida que avance hacia mi semi jubilación, lo que me llevará a escribir más en el blog. Puede que centre mis esfuerzos en bloguear en las plataformas en las que recibo más comentarios y en las que recibo mejor apoyo. Para mí, el apoyo tiene dos vertientes. Primero el número de comentarios, y el segundo es la cantidad de ganancias en la publicación.
Your post is amazing and the pictures are amazingly captured as if a professional photograSir can i get your attent if from performpher has collected the pictures, thank you so much for sharing with us.Sir can i get your attention .i know you from serey platform
Thank you. I am happy you enjoyed my photographs.
It is very important to have a near normal vision because it will definitely help you with your activities especially if you are going online as it needs reading work. That is why I am not setting my laptop screen so that it would not strain my eyes because of my time being online which I really needed to do to earn some money everyday to sustain my needs.
You are also very wise for planning ahead like for your retirement needs because life is very short and before we know it we just needed others to take care of us when the our sunset of life finally comes.
I myself is nearing middle age while not experiencing how is it to be a normal teen, young adult, and adult but straight to being a ten thousand year old man because of my achy bones. I am also planning ahead when things are not the same anymore, i. e. in the event that I outlived one or both of my parents and no one to turn to, at least I have something to help support myself.
I can't imagine losing a loved one, but in your case I am sure that your late wife truly appreciated what you had done for her as a very loving and loyal husband @r2cornell.
Roses are one of my favorite flowering plant because the scent they emit is really divine. I hope that I can have some beautiful flowering plants that I can use to beautify my dream home which is still a distant dream until maybe it will come into a reality because my mother wants one too.
Enjoy the weekend now.👍
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment. I hope to have more rose photography in upcoming publications. The two roses that I planted in the spring to put my wife's ashes under are now blooming. One of them has a fragrance very close to my wife's perfume. Another added plus.
Awesome post.
Thanks
It is good to hear that you are back in making content again and your eye surgery is successful and they are functioning well. The flowers are so beautiful especially the red roses my all time favorite. ♥️
Thank you. I hope I can get back to publishing more often, but until I at least semi-retire I will squeeze time in as I can.
Congratulations 👏

Hi Robert,
So nice to hear from you, although I see your pain and your loss... time helps healing wounds as it's often said, but it's true. Time is also responsible from us getting older which is a both sided coin, you know...
Love, as always, your photos of your beloved flowers. What an amazing job you're doing with them!
I finished my final exams today so that's why I could stop by and write doen some words to you.
Sending my best wishes and 🤗
