A Pair of Apples

Awesome close-up'; lovely soft colours and beautiful details Keith.

Wishing you all the best Keith.

Hallo,Keith,hopelijk ben jij gauw van de pijn af van de blindedarm operatie.
Vriendelijke groeten.............

I was wondering about you Keith. Goodness me....you never know what's going to happen next! I hope you soon recover. Good to see you back, even for a short time. Take care my friend!

ohhhh keith I am sorry

thanks for letting us know!

Really sorry to read this Keith. My best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care, and rest up.
See you soon ;-)

Hi Keith. Sorry to hear you have been, and are, under the weather. OUCH!
Have missed you, but have also been a bit MIA with all the bushfire dramas down under and near here.
I hope you make a speedy recovery. Cosset yourself well...

Sorry to here this news Keith, hope it all heals very quickly and you are back on your feet again.

très beau ce bokeh !

A fine capture here Kieth. -
I though you had been a bit quite - poor thing!

I too had my appendix removed after the same acute appendicitis in my late teens and so I know exactly what you are going through. Take care and see you again soon.

Regards, Herb

Recover well and soon mate!

Lieber Keith, ich habe deine Anwesenheit vermisst. Aber nun weiß ich den Grund, und ich hoffe, dass es dir soweit gut geht. Ich wünsche dir eine gute Genesung! Nimm dir eine Auszeit. Liebe Grüße, Wilhelm

Ich lagere meine Apfelernte im Keller. Einige Äpfel beginnen mit der Zeit zu faulen. Die werfe ich dann für die Vögel auf den Rasen. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Amseln oder Elstern die Äpfel im Baum erreichen können.

BETERSCHAP KEITH !
super mooie bokeh hier

Have a wonderful weekend, Keith!
Great close up!

hello Keith take your time and let everything heal well, I wish you a nice relaxing weekend and
good enjoyment

It's a beautiful portrait of two apples. The birds will appreciate them. Meanwhile, get well soon.

All the best, Keith. Looking forward to your return.

Great photo as usual Keith. Sorry to hear that you have been unwell. I hope you make a speedy recovery. Take care.

OH KEITH!! I am so sorry to hear that you had your appendix removed! Appendicitis is absolutely EXCRUCIATING and I'm so horribly sorry that this happened to you! :( I am also so very sorry that I have not even been by to say hello and so I am only just now learning of your emergency. I feel so bad that you had to go through that horrible pain...my older brother got appendicitis when he was about 17 or 18 and I was there when it first started to bother him and then, as the hours past, descended into indescribable pain--thank goodness he was brought to the emergency room before it burst. I'll never forget the agony he was in...being very empathic, I was beside myself wanting to make him feel better but he was so miserable--oh Keith, I'm so sorry that happened to you!! :( :( :(

I almost feel like it's wrong to appreciate your picture but it's absolutely GORGEOUS in every way. The droplets, the details, the omg BOKEH...it's all just outstanding! You are a wonder.

I have been away from ipernity or very distracted for a while now, as you know, and though I'm finally finding my way back into my usual happy self, it's been a bumpy road emotionally. It's hard--impossible--to be creative and sharing when feeling like that. And then I've been doing lots of other things too. And I've MEANT to visit--I'd be walking up and down the road for my exercise, see something cool and think of you...and then when I'd get inside, I'd forget to go see your stream...so I am feeling pretty guilty--though I know you don't hate me for it, but still. :(

Anyway...many hugs from afar and hoping you're feeling better soon!!

Oh dear Keith, I had noticed you were missing but had not investigated it until now. After all we are all allowed to go missing from here now and then with or without a good excuse. Boy did you have a good excuse. I do hope you really are on the mend and I look forward to seeing some views of the waterfront and those surprise shots of the urban landscape that you seem to be a master at finding. Best Wishes Colin.

Thank you all for all your kind comments following my abrupt disappearance from IP. I didn't expect my recovery to take so long.............I guess it's probably my age :-(

However.................I am well on the mend now and hope to be posting more often. I am still restricted a bit in that I'm not allowed to lift anything remotely heavy and I'm not allowed to do anything strenuous for another four weeks or so. My car is still off the road as well so I won't be able to travel far anyway!

My wife is supervising me closely :-))

I love this! Oops, I didn't know about your appendix, either! Well, good riddance to it, but the recovery is a complete nuisance.
