Gaillardias (Sunset Spice)

superbe

So nice and colorful, Keith !

beautful Keith

Hmm, this story sounds familiar Keith. I had a similar experience some time back. I also had one occasion where after a Windows update, three of my internal SSD's were corrupted and I lost lots of valuable info. Like you, I fortunately had back-ups too. I am quite sure that if we were not connected to the internet, especially in regards to auto updates our computers would live much longer. Good that you are back to speed. - Another great bloom from you here too. Well done.

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks Herb.

I think I'm going to hedge my bets and get some storage in the clouds as well, just in case! I really need a new iMac, but I'd have to sell a kidney to get one :-))

Sounds like a lot of work with your computer, luckily done now ;-)
Wonderful colorful!

Pleased your computer is fixed now Keith.....whatever HD & SSD is!! ;o)
One thing I do know is that this is a beautiful shot of these flowers. So crisp, clear and with great detail. The colours stand out beautifully.

Thanks Rosa.

I know what they are, but I'm not 100% sure about how they work - which I was I got a professional to do the work for me :-))

Awesome bright colours

Gut, dass dein Computer wieder funktioniert! Die Blüten strahlen wie die Sonne.

Computer gerepareerd ? Mooie Foto

Beautiful flowers Keith.
So glad you didn't lose anything on your comp ;-)

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! It's good to be back online again :-)

I love this flower. In German we call it "Kokardenblume" (Cockade Flower) or "Malerblume" (Painter's Flower). Both names fit perfectly to this lovely flower, because the blossom looks like a cockade and because it is so colourful that you could think a painter had coloured the petals.

I'm pleased that you like this one Susanne. Thank you for letting me know some alternative names for the flowers.

Keith - this bright, colorful and cheery shot was just what I needed to lift my spirits today! Many thanks, my friend!

Always happy when one of my photos lifts someones spirits John and I'm especially pleased that this day it was you :-)

These are gorgeous!!! Happy to hear that your data was all rescued.
