Weigh-in: Stayed the same. I have had to curtail my walking because I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right heel. I have been so grumpy this week, and I think it is the lack of endorphins from my usual walking pace. Not only do I have to curtail the walking, I have to wear ugly shoes with support — no Crocs, slippers, sandals or bare feet. I have to do stretching exercises and ice my heel. It does seem to be getting better
Bathroom Tile Update: I spent some time at the tile store today, and picked out the tile for the linear mosaic. A couple of these are metallics. I think it is going to look really cool and watery — which is my plan. They are now creating a sample of the mosaic for me. Now, what about the floor?
New Camera: I received my new camera today. It is a Canon PowerShot S5IS, the same camera that Terry and Reva have. I have been so impressed with their photos so I indulged myself so that I have a better camera for our trip coming up next month. Here are some photos I took late this afternoon. You can see them all on this Flickr set. I love the detail of the water in the first photo. Wish I could duplicate that for the next 12 X 12 challenge.
Had to put a little political stuff in here!!! The tree below is a Japanese Maple that is just starting to leaf out. It is such a beautiful tree.
These are all clickable for a larger view.
Love the pics with your new camera.
Sorry about the pf…I’ve had it in both feet in years past and can totally commiserate. I continue to wear the ‘heal cups’ in my walking shoes and also do stretches every morning. I NEVER want that awful pain to return. Hope yours goes away in a hurry!

These photos are fantastic, Gerrie! I love all the blooming flowering trees & bushes. I could be out taking photos here in Jersey, but I’m packing up my art supplies at the moment, preparing for our move to PA.
Keep sharing your photos – I like the Flickr site.
I do some of my stretches for p.f. before I get out of bed in the morning and that seems to help a lot. Otherwise, I feel like I’m hobbling on two broom-handles instead of walking like a 42-year old woman.
Not only do we have the same camera, but we take some of the same photos! I have the identical shot of that Japanese maple in the Rhody Garden.
Sorry your p.f. is back. Jerry had it a few months ago so I know how it can cramp one’s style.
Loved that video Gerrie. The tile looks great and that Japanese Maple is stunning. Couldn’t you just sit and look at that tree all day? But then, maybe that’s why I get nothing done and you are cruising at top speed.
Hi Gerrie. For your floor, I kinda like that design the tile is laying on. :=) Hmm…how to get that to flooring material?
