My indisposition precluded much photography
Another Paeonia lutea bloom
Yet another Geranium versiolor!
Abutilon
Photinia sprayhe theme for this week's Photo Hunt is walking. As readers will realise walking is something that I have not been able to do much of recently. My cast came off two weeks ago but even now I am not exactly mobile. Still, last wekk I did get out into teh garden on my crutches and I did work out how to take some shots while propping myself up. I have posted other examples of all of these flowers in teh last week (except the abutilon). Still I hope you enjoy what I photographed on what was a short walk in the garden
We take the basic skill of walking for granted until we cannot.
ReplyDeleteStill glad you can "walk" as far as your garden to share these beautiful flowers.
Happy weekend Jams.
Beautiful pics, and I wish you a speedy recovery! I can't imagine how frustrating it must be :(
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, Jams. Superb shots despite the limited walking !
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome flowers! Wonderful photos. Glad you were able to get outside for a short walk, and hope you continue to feel better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to walk out into your garden and take these beautiful shots. It must be so hard to deal with a long recovery like you've been going through. Hope you'll be walking more and more in the months to come.
ReplyDeleteI think the Paeonia is my favourite :-)
ReplyDeleteYes we do take walking for granted.
ReplyDeleteLong ago I once spent 10 weeks flat on my back in traction. About half way through the ordeal my orthopedist gave me a simple exercise to do "100 times a day" for my legs. When the day came that I could sit up, I got dizzy and had to lie back down. The next day I had to go to physical therapy to make sure I could walk.
Amazing how important those muscles are and how we take them for granted.
We do take walking for granted - but I'm glad to hear that you can move around a little bit more now :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Jams!!
And I know that your leg is getting better each day now!
Have a great weekend!
Anna
Oh I hope you will be back to normal again very soon. Oh I love that geranium shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat flower pics for this week Jams. :)
ReplyDeleteJams, glad u havent lost yr pic taking skills in spite of the temporary 'hiccups'
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteKay, Anna I realised over the last couple of months how easy iot is to take mobility for granted. I will treasure my abilities ever after.
Lovely flowers, jams.
ReplyDeleteThat was a serious cast!
Oh I didnt know that it happened...i hope you get better soon! Lovely flowers by the way...
ReplyDeleteOne step at a time, Jams, one step at a time... no put intended. Or maybe it is. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that petunia and that geranium! Very striking!
Nice of you to stop by...:-)
You really got some good shots on your short walk... That cast looked heavy... I'm glad you're out of it and getting back to walking again...
ReplyDeleteWow, Jams, seems like you've got a wonderful garden. And I see you don't use spell checker -- I laugh because "teh" with a capital "T" is actually my surname and the reason why I hate automated spell checkers! ;b
ReplyDeleteI agree with Liz, that was a serious cast.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding work.
i wish u the best speedy recovery. beautiful flowers btw.
ReplyDeleteNice shots - pity about the leg. Hope it continues to improve.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers shot. Btw, I hope you get recovery soon...
ReplyDeleteMy entry this week: in HERE. I hope that you can stop by as well. Thanks
I´m glad you are getting better now and that you are able to take a walk in your garden with all the beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteJams - looking at your garden through the camera lens will help you recover sooner…*smile*
You will be trotting about again before long. Your jaunt was productive anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy first time to visit your site. That was rather an extraordinary entry for this week's theme. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing shots of the flowers! I am glad you enjoyed a little walk, and hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend:)
That's a huge cast! Hope that you'll recover soon. Great flower shots!
ReplyDeletei hope you get back to being fully mobile soon!
ReplyDeletenice shots of the flowers.
I hope you get well very soon :)
ReplyDeleteThose blooms are lovely :)
The case is a monster! Hope you're getting around easier now. Great photo for this week's theme.
ReplyDeleteThe blooms are beautiful.
I should be pityful, but sorry I have to laugh and still do ! I think it is the most original walking picture of the day, hahaha !
ReplyDeleteBut I admire your flower photos ! they are beautiful !
I really feel sorry for you! When you have something that you rely on daily and it's taken from you, it is then you realise just how much you need it ~ like walking.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you enjoyed finding a way to photograph those dselightful flowers!
Is beauty. Get those legs moving.
ReplyDeleteHope all will be fine soon. I guess you wouldn't miss your garden for the world. It seems you have a beautiful garden w/ all these colorful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Jams! You really went and did it, eh? Glad your cast is off and hope you have a speedy recovery. Respites in your beautiful garden should help.
ReplyDeleteI can feel for you...I broke & dislocated my shoulder a couple of years ago. That was bad enough! Best wishes for continued recovery!
ReplyDeleteOh sorry to hear that. Happy weekend. Mine is ready.
ReplyDeleteGolly, this looks like a painful feat!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Jams.
Hope you are walking more soon!
ReplyDeleteYour right leg looks quite swollen. I'm glad you're getting better.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend!
Awww... I hope you feel better now. Take more rest Jams :)

Happy weekend!
So good that you are more mobile than you have been. Hope you continue to improve. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is some hard-core walking.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteGlad the cast finally came off. Hope you'll be back up and running soon. At least you got to the garden. Great photos too. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteOne step at a time!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, especially the Abutilon!
Makes me think of this series of photos I took a few years ago: http://public.fotki.com/Mudhooks/my_stuff/year_in_photos/2007/sat/img_1035a.html
I am happy to hear your cast is off, but yes, it will take determination to regain your strength. I always enjoy your photos, and thank you for visiting mine today! Sending you healing thoughts and love, Becci
ReplyDeleteMy mom has had both knees and both hips replaced, so we know well the agonies of the walk... first with walkers and now with canes. Short walks are a triumph! Sending good thoughts your way! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOucH!
ReplyDeleteI bet when you saw this weeks theme... you knew it was just for you.
I hope you have a'Speedy' recovery~
Oh boy, thought you were mobile again in the meantime. LOL that first picture when you still had the cast on. Love the flower shots especially the Paeonia lutea bloom. It's beautiful. Wonder how you managed those black backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery and a happy weekend!
Oh dear, that's the biggest cast I have ever seen! It must be hard to do a lot of things with that. I hope you are completely recovered soon.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful!
I do hope you heal swiftly too it is no fun being a couch potato and I am only on my second day
ReplyDeleteouch, the top photo looks painful. Glad the cast is off, and hope you are on the mend. Your flower photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMindy, Moe, Bon Bon
I really hope you're doing better, Jams. Whether they were this week's theme or not, the pictures were just beautiful, so who cares. :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2009/05/photohunt-33-walking.html
OUCH! I can sympathize with you, I've been housebound for a couple weeks myself and it's not fun! I hope you continue to heal!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the flowers are absolutely gorgeous!
Gorgeous floral shots, Jams. I can only imagine how glad you must be to have that wicked cast off! Here's to a speedy and complete recovery and steadily improving mobility.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your leg heals quickly and you can take that walk by the sea. Lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll be able to walk without the walking aid soon :)
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. Thanks for dropping by :)
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that you will have a fast recovery. Take care.
Well, at least the cast is off! Now for everything to completely heal. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower shots.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be able to walk a little father every day. I feel for you. Physical therapy can be tough. Hang in there.
