Daylily

On June 27, 2009 By Fred KingIn blossoms, Flowers1 Comment

I get the Daylily confused with the Tiger Lily. I’m still not sure which is which, even after looking at photos. I have a few of these (fill in the blank)—–lilies in our yard. Tiger Lily

Flower from the Past

On June 24, 2009 By Fred KingIn blossoms, Flowers1 Comment

I was looking through some folders that have some images taken with my Minolta X-700. This is a scanned image that I found and thought it would be nice to share. Something about film images that digital SLR’s can’t duplicate.Flower from last summer

Shades of Pink

On June 22, 2009 By Fred KingIn blossoms, Flowers, gardenLeave a comment

This plant is in our garden. I wish I could remember what it is. I want to say cosmos, but I think that would be wrong. The name tag I always put next to plants is missing.Pink

Closer LookA bush in my neighbor’s yard that seems to attract hummingbirds. So much so that I moved my hummingbird feeder a few feet from this bush, with no luck in attracting the birds to the feeder.DSC_0001ab

Campanula Rotundifolia

Growing in a pot on our deck. One of those wispy flowers that seem so delicate a slight breeze would damage them. They seem to survive just fine, though.Campanula rotundifolia

Sun Flower

On June 10, 2009 By Fred KingIn blossoms, FlowersLeave a comment

A plant to brighten up the day. In Seattle we use the sun flower as an artificial version of the sun. On cloudy days I put my sun glasses on and stand in front of the sun flower, ever mindful to not look directly into the plant.DSC_0029-a

About Me

Currently 74 years old, cancer survivor  living in Seattle, WA. Enjoy both photography and music.

Update: 6 Sept 2023: Cancer has returned. Probably will start directed radiation treatment at the end of October.

Update: 24 Sept 2024: After two 15 round sessions of SBRT I am now undergoing chemotherapy. After chemo, A PET scan will assess where I am. After the scan I will be minimally doing a year of immunotherapy -beginning November, 2024. Update: 8 March 2025-Finished 3rd immunotherapy ( Imfinzi- a checkpoint inhibitor) and fourth is on 11 March 2015. Another PET SCAN scheduled for 18 March 2025.

Update Sept. 2025: Scans from a couple of weeks ago look positive. However, Oncologist has changed the original plan from one year of immunotherapy to continuing “indefinitely”, as he feels, due to my history with cancer, that if stopped it would come back.

 

Selfie: 2016 at the Cliffs of Moher and from March of 2025. Nearly ten years apart.
