I have been under the weather with a bit of a flu bug the past few days, haven’t felt like doing much of anything. Those flu shots.. well, I think they are over-rated! I wonder if I can get a refund? Anyway, when this much congestion fills my head, it is hard to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. But sometimes I need a spirit lift and try to look through some images to at least feel like I am doing something. Then again, sometimes I hesitate to want to look at any images because of my frame of mind. Will I see something that perhaps I didn’t before, or will every impression tend to be a bit negative because of my current state of health? Hard to say – because it is hard to concentrate for more than a few minutes! 
Anyway, off to rest again..
(This leaf image has always had a particular attraction to me because of the particular balance of light and dark.)
Hi Mark,
I know exactly what you are saying about not being able to concentrate with the flu – it is no fun, I hope you feel better soon.
Love the photo!

I also like the juxtaposition of cool & warm shades in that photo.
Feel better soon, happy holidays & best to your & yours for the coming year.
I too have the same problem when I’m not feeling well – can’t concentrate on anything. I hope you feel better soon!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Mark, sorry you are feeling under the weather. I never believed those flu shots worked anyway. I hope you are feeling better and have a good holiday!
Really nice shot too. I love the diagonal lines and close up detail. I have to get around to photographing some leaf close ups like this one of these days.
Great shot Mark, I love leaf closeups and this one doesn’t disappoint, I hope you get to feeling better and that you have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year
Hey Mark,
Wish you all the best, man, for you guys. Get well, and enjoy the holidays, bruh!
Great photo.
Cheers
Carl
Thank you all for the well wishes and Merry Christmas. Feeling much better now!
Now go drink some egg nog!
I just got over a bad virus myself…no fun at all. Do get better soon and then treat us to more of your great images!
Hey Mark. Like the leaf and your way of framing this one. Glad to hear that you are doing much better right now.
