I posted the fundraising post last week By the way thank you one and all for any upvotes and for sure your comments. I should not be receiving any of the earnings for the post. I put down 95% to go to @aid.venezuela, and 5% automatically goes toward SteemPlus.
I had planned on doing a post over the weekend. Unfortunately everyone in the household except me came down with influenza. I was suppose to be doing other work, but instead was caring for the household, cleaning up messes I would rather not experience again, and trying to get all my paperwork completed for our annual review. On top of that we were trying to finish tiling the main part of the house before the review. There was a lot of cleaning involved in this
As I have mentioned before to care for the disabled in our home we have to go through an annual review. I had to make sure each person we care for had all the paperwork in order. We had the review this morning and got our certificate renewed. Now I just have to stay on top off all the paperwork so next year is easier.
Now I can devote some time to get out doors and getting things ready for planting season. My daffodils are starting to bloom. I plan on cleaning up my flower beds, and I have around 20 lily bulbs to plant. I also hope to take a walk in woods and see what wildflowers may be coming up.
Now for a few more photographs. This photograph of this bridge was difficult to get a good photo because the road sloped. Between my daughter and myself one photo came out nicely:
This next photograph was taken in a greenhouse at Manito Gardens last summer. There are many plants and a couple of flowers to enjoy.
This last photograph is of a young doe that stayed healthy during our difficult winter. I would imagine she will have young in May:
I do hope I can get another post completed by this weekend. I would remind everyone that the issues in Venezuela are far from over. Here are a couple of links for programs in Venezuela that can still use our aid. I plan on adding them as beneficiaries to this post:

There are two other programs located in Bangladesh that I have tried to support as well, and both can always use assistance:

Check all their blogs for more information on the excellent work they have begun.
I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted.

Good night @r2cornell, our Venezuelan brothers need our help, here in Medellin there are many in the streets, this situation is very sad, but I know that GOD will help them too.
Blessings
Thank you very much for visiting my blog. I wish I could do more than I am
Hello sir @r2cornell, you are giving all income from this post to others. You have done a noble deed for giving help to others. I am amazed by you. I really like your rose photo. a combination of 2 colors between red and yellow. this is a nice color.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
It seems like the talent comes in the family, the pics both from your daughter and you are quite good. I like better the animal photography rather than flowers, but that's just a matter of taste.
I used to have the very same camera, a rebel t5 but since I travel a lot and it's a bit heavy for a low budget backpacker with no space in the backpack, I gave it to my dad's wife, she'll give it a better use.
Great pics mate!
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
Yes the camera and then extra lenses are a lot to carry around, unless that is all you carry.
I am hoping to have more wildlife photos, it is a matter if I am ready. This morning I had a doe and last years twins in the ravine behind my house, but they moved on before i could change lenses.
really your flower photography is so beautiful. @r2cornell i love you so much,
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
welcome brother.
I hope you are always healthy with all your activities.
Beautiful photography for mid-week and looks peaceful place in there.

Thank you very much.
Always @r2cornell a friend with your photographs of those beautiful roses, you remember that last week I sent you a photo of a sunflower that was not yet completely open, look today is much bigger the sunflower flower. I hope you like it.
Thank you for all the support you give to the Venezuelans. May God bless you and give you great health for you and all the members of your family.
I can recommend you for the influesa, take a lot of honey with lemon. It's very good for that-
I send you a big hug very fraternal.
Thank you very much. And thank you for your kind words.

Krisivaya nature. This post well reflects the nature of your area. I liked the bridge. I wonder what year it was built? As always, the selection of the review of colors you turned out great. I want to wish health to your family and you sir. Thank you very much for the good and informative publication.
Thank you very much. I am planning a trip to this park/gardens this summer and will check to see if there is any sinage that might tell us the age of the bridge.
Thank you very much for answering my comment. Sir, if there are difficulties in determining the age of the bridge, then you do not need to spend time on it. I understand you, you are a man immersed in everyday life. Good health and mood
I would like to walk up to the bridge. Seeing it is in the park there may be a plaque.

Es impresionante como la naturaleza nos ofrece estas maravillas @r2cornell primero el capullo de Rosa, para despúes apreciar sus belleza en todo su esplendor. Espero que cada miembro de su familia ya se encuentren mejor para que todos puedan disfrutar de un excelente fin de semana, se le aprecia por todo el cariño hacia los Venezolan@s
Gracias. Nos estamos sintiendo mejor. Una vieja lesión en la espalda y el cuello me ha ralentizado, pero esta mañana ha mejorado algo.
@r2cornell, This flower is reflecting the essence of blessing and same way your kind and work of goodness will be backed with the Almighty Blessings. Stay blessed.

Welcome and have a pleasant time ahead.
I hope everything is going good with you now... Orange rose looks great.. I had a collection of double delight which was orange on it's initial level and turned into reddish orange when full bloomed...
Well, spring is here so I think you are ready to capture more beautiful flowers... Stay blessed...
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
It has been many years since I had a Double Delight rose growing. They are beautiful.
It is raining today and I can see the fields greening up nicely. The wildlife will have plenty of food now, and yes flowers will continue to come.
Red rose is superbly beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing sir @r2cornell

Beautiful photos of flowers.
Thank you for all your support to the cause of Venezuela.
Our problems are complex and varied.
We are a young country and I believe that, like other countries, we must learn from our mistakes and use them as a support stone, not as an obstacle.
_
Only by allowing all the tests to bring out the best, will we move on.
I think we are maturing for that.
The nature of the Venezuelan is to offer help, maybe that's why it costs us so much to ask for it.
_
It is trajicomico.
Although we eat less; and we are thin, and we face diseases.
We are always waiting to help us, no matter what political ideal we have.
I live it daily in my community.
Happy life.
Thank you visiting my blog. I have heard similar from other's from Venezuela. It is people helping people within your communities that will help each other through, and help bring a better future.
Wow really like rose flowers. excellent photography
Thanks @r2cornell
Have a nice day
Thank you very much.
I think your daughter loves natural like you.
And the second image is very beautiful.If someone is in a bad mind, then the mind will be well with it.
Beautiful photography
FLOWER AND PHOTOGRAPHY TOTALLY A MAGIC.
