My struggle

The other day I struggled like crazy to one-handedly set my tripod up. I finally got it set up only to find my Kodak camera battery had gone bad and couldn't be recharged. I don't dare use my Nikon yet. Anyway, I ordered a new battery and got it in today. I didn't have much to take photos of but I GOT TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS with one hand.

It felt so good and a step toward getting well.

Here's all I got:

Fresh battery. Tripod set up. Obviously you have the itch to take photos. I know how this ends.......more photos.

I really like that first one, simple stem.....elegant. Is these editing on the African Violets?
