New and Maybe Improved

I saw the surgeon on Tuesday, and my foot is healed! No more boot! I can’t walk around barefoot. I need to wear arch supports in my shoes – something I’ve been doing for years. Now that I’m able to walk again, I’ve developed new pains. I’m so used to sitting or being hunched over a walker, that my hips and lower back need help. Part of the problem with wearing a boot is that no matter what I do with my shoe on the non-broken foot, my legs aren’t the same length. I’ve got an appointment with my chiropractor in two weeks to get everything aligned correctly.

Being able to walk again, I took some moon shots last night. There’s a tiny sliver of a moon. I used a long shutter speed and moved the camera around. I merged. two shots in editing and then started playing.

The result is nine new designs in my Spoonflower shop and I’ve made a new collection: Space. You can find my newest designs here: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/deb_thuman

The ocotillo are blooming, and I got a few shots this morning.

The iris are done blooming and we had no blooms on the new rhizomes. I’m thinking we will have the new rhizome blooms next year.
