Ahh yes, good thinking @NatureLover ... I will check out @Lee71 profile pictures.
@Lee71 .. your pic has finally arrived. Very clever, and what a great idea.
Goodness, I seem to spend most of my time in the Yellow zone. 😔💕
Hope you are going well in your therapy session.

@Emelia8 I have lots of photos , by lots I mean 1000's anything in particular interest you.
I started taking very up close nature ones, I'm always looking when I'm walking, they don't always turn out how I want them to in my mind, and if I see something especially cool I take it for @NatureLover .
Like the beach videos, she can't get to the beach and she's been so good to me, so u took the beach to her

Thanks so much @Lee71 ... yes I certainly do like it.
I checked it on my mobile and the picture was through there, but I came to my PC (to get a better look) and strangely the pic is yet to be cleared.
But yes, isnt nature wonderful! So unique, so beautiful, and often so very strange. Almost out of this world.
In answer to your previous question ... I like anything to do with nature I guess. Animals, plants, waterfalls, ocean, sunsets and sunrises. All very beautiful. But I guess my preferences would lean more toward the tranquil and calm type of picture. Does that make sense?
How are you feeling post therapy session?

@Emelia8 yes that makes perfect sense.
Calm like when the sun is just touching the ocean as it sets.
As for post therapy. Not sure of words to explain, color chart...almost completely orange .
Sorry n o t sure I've asked how your day is and how you are ?

Good @Lee71 I'm glad that made sense to you. A bit like the pic you just posted, with the rain drop on a colourful leaf. Similar would be a raindrop on a rose petal. I did take a pic of that not so long ago. I should try to find it for you. It was a lovely red rose in our rose garden. Yeah .. calm like the sun touching the ocean. You got it.
Oh dear me Lee ... orange is not good. I'll be right over! Sadly I cannot, but would if I could. Will you be okay, and do you have someone you can safely call if you need to?
Thanks for asking, but my story is long and I really dont wish to go there right now. Suffice to say, I have my moments. I am safe, but my state of mind varies somewhat. I have an anniversary fast approaching and its hard. Especially when I'm not long through another couple of anniversaries. All of these anniversaries are triggers to my PTSD unfortunately. But enough about me.
Do you have any plans for this evening?

Hi Lee, your picture is really gorgeous - in fact, it's amazing - thank you 
I hear you that you're at orange after your appointment... 😞 I think 2 hours would be tough.
