  5. Ha, yes I was wondering where you were Patty . . . walking around like a zombie and then, boom, this morning (or late last night) you resurfaced in the WP universe. Wishing you a happy birthday tomorrow (I may call you and sing to you) and a fabulous day off with lots of sleeping in, naps, dog games and eating!

    • You are so funny, Sue!! I can’t wait to see you again! I have to teach this year on my birthday. How disappointing that Labor Day fell on September 1st! Geez. At least I had today off to sleep in, cuddle and kiss Bailey, read, and eat. 😀

  7. Happy (early) birthday, Patty! I hope you get to celebrate in lots of fun ways and enjoy your day! Gorgeous shot, also; this would definitely be party of my calendar. 🙂

    • Thanks, Ngan! I completely forgot to tell you! So I started looking up calendars after your suggestion a few months back, and good golly almighty they are pricey! The lowest cost one I found was about $18/each, and that would be without shipping costs from me to you! Egads!

    • I’m not sure, Cheryl! I think my body has been fighting off a bug of some sort. I felt a tightness in my throat the first Friday back at work and I’ve been ridiculously exhausted every day since. Today was better, thank goodness. Perhaps that just means I should only work four-day weeks?? Hahah! 😉

  14. Happy Birthday, Patty! Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating and taking some time for yourself! Gorgeous macro as usual 🙂 Love the contrast of the peach/orange petals with the dark background!

    • My dad planted several gerbera daisy plants last year and I love taking shots of them when I visit every Saturday! Labor Day fell on September 1st this year, so I guess I’ll have a fun day of celebrating/teaching tomorrow! *fingers crossed* 😉

      • Oh, serendipity.
        I was just grumbling over in Lightroom.

        I’m looking to learn how to use the color numbers attached to the pixels to distinguish color casts. Until now I’ve just been looking at the histogram and judging with my eye, but that only takes you so far.

        You said you were a Lightroom teacher, do you know where I can learn about that, or what I could read. Something technical would be bliss at this point. If one more Redditer tells me about “the art” and trusting my gut I’m going to call Anonymous on them. 😉

Please tell me what you think!
