Red Daylily – Abstract

Yep, … 25 years of marriage and she ain’t killed me yet.
So, … guess I ain’t all that bad!
My wife and I have been away celebrating our 25th year of marriage, thinking about all of the good and bad we have been through together, … thankfully most of it good, and we have just arrived back into town.
We even decided to take our sons along with us to let them get in on the celebration.
It was nice, … fun, … but we are all glad to be home and to relax a bit.
Plus, … our dog “Flash” did not care to much for his sitters, so he is a bit on the happy side as well!
Still trying to get everything back to normal with both of my computer systems here at home, … which turned out to be a real mess.
No loss of images, but client info turned out to be a nightmare along with tax info, etc.
No losses to speak of, but just trying to put all of the pieces back together is a big pain.
Lots of shooting to do starting next week, so not much posting of any kind for a while.
I will get back into the swing of things after some of the dust settles.
Above is a old image shot with some E6 slide film.
I do miss those days, ………. sort of!
This is an abstract of a red daylily, “double”, deep within its throat. “Hemerocallis”
Hope that everyone and their families have been getting along well, and thanks for stopping by gang!

Big congrats on your 25th! I hit 20 next year. It’s really rather amazing to be able to keep a relationship strong for a quarter century! Best.
That is great Michael – congratulations!
I also add my congratulations. I’m married to my wife only for 4 years but we are together for another 4. But, oh man, 25, that’s something!
Many congratulations to you & your wife, Michael!
Congratulations!!
I really enjoy your images, and this one is no exception. Stunning!
Congratulations on the 25th to the both of you! That’s terrific!
My wife and I just passed our 13th. I hope the logic prevails that if they don’t kill you after 12, you are pretty safe! :-)
Glad that you are back and got your computer situation sorted out – it’s one big headache and makes one realize how dependent we have become. Happy Anniversary.
best wishes on your anniversary Mike- we’re coming up on 30.. my how time flies eh? ;)
I have to add my wishes to all of those above. I wish you two at least twice as many more.
Love the image, Michael. And I miss E6 sometimes too. I love what is possible with the computer, but making an image with film was sort of a meditation that digital can’t replace. Most people don’t understand what I mean, but somehow I believe you will.
Beautiful image, as always. You inspire me to continue improving my photos.
We celebrated 23 years of marriage! Congratulations to you and your wife on 25!!!
25 years is really part of life, big congratulations to you and your wife!
Have a fun!

Congrats on making it to 25. My wife and I will hit 40 in 2010. Love the vibrant colors in this image, or should I say photograph! Looks like a flame burning in the center.
Congrats on 25 years!!! Mark and I are coming up on our 25th in September.
Sorry about your computer troubles. Had a few myself recently but fortunately things started acting a little hinky and I caught on that something was going wrong early on so I was able to cut things off at the pass without too much pain and no loss of data…whew! Hopefully you will be all straightened out soon. Those kinds of things are soooo very frustrating.
Ooops…forgot…this image is on fire! Beautiful.
Congrats on the 25 Years Michael wishing you and your wife 25 more !!
Happy 25th anniversary Michael. Someday I hope to be able to get to where you are!
congratulations, michael!
i hope you thanked your woman for all the patience she had while you wery busy with photography and editing… ;)
Just spent time looking at your wonderful images – hope you post some more very soon
Congrats to you and the wife, it isn’t easy to make it. Nice image too!
Belated Happy 25th, Michael … wishing you many more (I’m way ahead of you and still going strong)! Lots of good stuff here … thanks for sharing :O)
Twenty-five and still alive. Definitely a good sign. ;)
I have had great results just holding two lenses together. I recently took some macro shots of live lobsters…so much detail!
