My potted "miniature" rose (red) continues to put out blooms. My other miniature roses do not get very tall, and this one in years past was the same. For some reason it has gotten very tall, and with it many more blooms. The blooms are also slightly larger than they usually are. I trust it will show up on your screen as wonderful has it has on mine.
Mi rosal "miniatura" en maceta (rojo) sigue echando flores. Mis otras rosas miniatura no llegan a ser muy altas, y ésta en años pasados era igual. Por alguna razón ha crecido mucho, y con ello muchas más flores. Las flores también son un poco más grandes de lo que suelen ser. Confío en que se vea en su pantalla tan maravillosamente como lo ha hecho en la mía.
We have survived another week on Blurt. With the price being down still, I continue to buy Blurt to add to my portfolio. It has seen these price levels in the past, and eventual adjusted upwards without warning. During the last lows is when I accumulated quite a few of them. It was easier then because BTC was priced higher. No matter, with my plans and being able to generate supplemental income when I decide to retire, I will continue to reinvest earnings (after I pay curators), besides buying more on the dips. (Since I wrote this Blurt has been down for a few days)
Hemos sobrevivido a otra semana en Blurt. Con el precio todavía a la baja, sigo comprando Blurt para añadirlo a mi cartera. Ha visto estos niveles de precios en el pasado, y eventualmente se ajustó al alza sin previo aviso. Durante los últimos mínimos es cuando acumulé bastantes Blurt. Era más fácil entonces porque el BTC tenía un precio más alto. No importa, con mis planes de poder generar ingresos complementarios cuando decida retirarme no han cambiado. Seguiré reinvirtiendo las ganancias (después de pagar a los curadores), además de comprar más en las caídas. (desde que escribí esto Blurt ha bajado unos días)
I am not sure how I have stayed calm with all my investments heading the wrong way. But I am still hanging on. I do not have as much crypto I once had, and have not wanted to sell any at this time. In spite of the dramatic drop in value of my overall retirement portfolio if I take into account the changes since January 2021 I have gained 25.98%. The leads to a 17.32% annual rate of return. I am pleased with that number. It is a good lesson in investing, on how we need to focus on a longer time frames, and not immediate results. Even though retirement for me is not far away, I still have to look long term. It is the overall return on investments over a period of time. When I was younger I could easily look decades ahead for a long term strategy. The longest investment I held was for over 21 years. Most of the time the gains were small at best and at time negative returns. Then last year the price went very high, and took advantage and sold for a 650% return. Over 21 years that averaged almost 31% per year. How does all relate to cryptocurrency? To me it is just another investment. I try not to focus on the fluctuation in prices for the short term. Instead I try and hold a long term view. With Blurt I continue with looking at the long term.
No sé cómo he podido mantener la calma con todas mis inversiones en dirección contraria. Pero sigo aguantando. No tengo tantas criptomonedas como antes, y no he querido vender ninguna en este momento. A pesar de la dramática caída del valor de mi cartera general de jubilación si tengo en cuenta los cambios desde enero de 2021 he ganado un 25,98%. Lo que lleva a una tasa de rendimiento anual del 17,32%. Estoy satisfecho con esta cifra. Es una buena lección de inversión, sobre cómo tenemos que centrarnos en plazos más largos, y no en resultados inmediatos. Aunque la jubilación no está lejos, tengo que mirar a largo plazo. Se trata del rendimiento global de las inversiones durante un periodo de tiempo. Cuando era más joven, podía mirar fácilmente décadas por delante para una estrategia a largo plazo. La inversión más larga que mantuve fue durante más de 21 años. La mayor parte del tiempo las ganancias fueron pequeñas, en el mejor de los casos, y a veces negativas. Luego, el año pasado, el precio subió mucho, y aproveché y vendí para obtener un rendimiento del 650%. A lo largo de 21 años eso supuso una media de casi el 31% anual. ¿Cómo se relaciona todo esto con la criptomoneda? Para mí es una inversión más. Intento no centrarme en la fluctuación de los precios a corto plazo. En cambio, intento mantener una visión a largo plazo. Con Blurt sigo mirando a largo plazo.
Well I think that is enough of that. I am hoping Blurt will be up and running by the time I finish this publication. I setting it up in Word and saving it so I do not have to start it over.
Bueno, creo que ya es suficiente. Espero que Blurt esté funcionando para cuando termine esta publicación. Lo estoy configurando en Word y lo estoy guardando para no tener que volver a empezarlo.
I bought my wife a floral arrangement for her birthday. I took a few photographs of some flowers. This flower is a carnation from the Dianthus family.
Le compré a mi esposa un arreglo floral para su cumpleaños. Tomé algunas fotografías de algunas flores. Esta flor es un clavel de la familia Dianthus.
This next flower is also from the dianthus family. They are hardy for our area. I had these growing in a pot last summer, and when fall arrived set the pot in one of my flower beds. It survived the winter and is flourishing so far this year. This flower is also known as Sweet William. It has a small flower compared to the carnation. These are around the size of my thumbnail. The macro-lens allows us to get a great view of a small flower.
La siguiente flor también es de la familia de los dianthus. Son resistentes para nuestra zona. Las tuve en una maceta el verano pasado y cuando llegó el otoño las puse en uno de mis parterres. Sobrevivió al invierno y está floreciendo en lo que va de año. Esta flor también se conoce como Sweet William. Tiene una flor pequeña en comparación con el clavel. Son del tamaño de la uña de mi pulgar. El objetivo macro nos permite obtener una gran vista de una flor pequeña.
My wife bought me a potted flower arrangement. This flower is a shade loving Inpatient. I have the planter somewhat protected from the heat of the sun, and the blooms keep coming. There are a couple of plants in the arrangement I will re-pot and try and grow indoors. I am going to try the Impatient and see how it goes indoors. There are other plants that should do well indoors. For now I will keep it outside.
Mi esposa me compró un arreglo floral en maceta. Esta flor es una Inpatient amante de la sombra. Tengo la maceta algo protegida del calor del sol, y las flores siguen floreciendo. Hay un par de plantas en el arreglo que volveré a plantar e intentaré cultivar en el interior. Voy a probar la Impaciente y ver cómo va en el interior. Hay otras plantas que deberían ir bien en el interior. Por ahora, las mantendré en el exterior.
Here is another view of the above red rose. I always try and snap multiple photos and choose from the best I have. This one is very close to the above one, but I felt it deserved its place in my post. I hope you enjoy the additional view.
Aquí hay otra vista de la rosa roja de arriba. Siempre intento sacar varias fotos y elegir las mejores que tengo. Esta es muy parecida a la anterior, pero sentí que merecía su lugar en mi post. Espero que disfruten de la vista adicional.
My final peony has come into full bloom. I enjoy this white blooms, with the pink blush. Blooming time for the Peonies are over till next year. The usually bloom in early June but they are behind schedule. The scent of this particular variety is wonderful. I may still have a couple of Peony photographs to share in future posts.
Mi última peonía ha florecido. Me gusta esta floración blanca, con el rubor rosado. El tiempo de floración de las peonías ha terminado hasta el próximo año. Normalmente florecen a principios de junio, pero están atrasadas. El aroma de esta variedad en particular es maravilloso. Puede que todavía tenga un par de fotografías de peonías para compartir en futuros posts.
This brings us to the end of this publication. I trust you will find something in it that you enjoy. In my photography I try to bring out hidden beauty that many miss, and share the wonder I experience when I see a flower. This week's post is of no exception.
Con esto llegamos al final de esta publicación. Confío en que encuentren en ella algo que les guste. En mi fotografía intento sacar a la luz la belleza oculta que muchos pasan por alto, y compartir la maravilla que experimento cuando veo una flor. El post de esta semana no es una excepción.
I normally use a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for most photographs, except where noted. I do have an older PowerShot Canon digital camera that I use from time to time. I do take some photographs with my Samsung Note 9 smart phone and include them from time to time. The only editing I do on my photographs is some cropping to center the photo, or to bring it closer to the viewer.
Normalmente utilizo una Canon EOS Rebel T5 para la mayoría de las fotografías, excepto cuando se indica. Tengo una cámara digital PowerShot Canon más antigua que utilizo de vez en cuando. También tomo algunas fotografías con mi teléfono inteligente Samsung Note 9 y las incluyo de vez en cuando. La única edición que hago en mis fotografías es algún recorte para centrar la foto, o para acercarla al espectador.

Once I bought dianthus, I love them, but I don't know what happened that a month after buying it, it died. The peony looks so beautiful, it has a very tender color.
I'm glad to have blurt back.
Not sure why your dianthus died. I know there are some that grow in warmer climates. Same carnations that floral shops get are grown in Mexico and I though parts of South America. The regular carnations are more tender and cannot be over-wintered here. Those labeled dianthus here are hardy. I had two different varieties of the dianthus, both grown in pots starting last year. One that is in this post did wonderful but the other died. Sometimes you have to just try again.
Your post is very amazing. Good wrok
I am happy that Blurt is back and what better way to show such happiness than with such beautiful flowers.
Thank you. I am glad you enjoy the flowers.
