My 14th month of We're Here!
My 14th month of We're Here!

February was a tough month -- my best friend was in a car accident (injured but fine now); my dear 93-year-old friend Bob was getting rehabilitation after hip surgery in a hospital that's a 40-minute drive, and I was visiting him every other day; my oldest girlfriend was "asked to leave" her mother's apartment, where she has been living and caring for her mom for the last three years; my uncle has had a number of falls and has wound up again in hospital. All personal stuff, and I'm happy to help with all of it, but it is emotionally draining. Oh we're also doing a renovation, and until last week, I had been doing all laundry at my nextdoor neighbor's place. Any one of these things could upset the balance, but taken all together, I feel a bit drained.

I think this has taken a toll on the quality of my images. Doing the February Alphabet Fun again this year was indeed fun, but I enjoyed it more last year. I didn't do my best work for each and every image, that's for sure. We're Here was a blast, as always, but I can't say that I really pushed on the boundaries with that either.

Having said all that, I did have some success with Explore, racking up an even dozen for the month.
