Un écho de la couleur verte (Weekend Street/Reflections # 285)

 Paris, France

I snapped this photo roughly 16 years ago on Rue de Rennes, yet I am still struck by the accidental symphony of green that seems to echo down the street. Once you spot the RATP bus and the boy running with the balloon, you notice the color everywhere: the overhead traffic lights, people's clothing, plants, the hotel and other signs, street bins, the glowing pharmacy crosses in the distance, and even a few minor green reflections.

Green is fine, but my favorite color has always been blue.😎

Through the fog (Weekend Street/Reflections # 284)

 Venice, Italy

Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers. It has been a strange and overwhelming few weeks. Back in May, we thought everything was fine. Just a few weeks later, we were told my wife needed a difficult, life-saving surgery to remove a large tumor in her cervical spine, a procedure that carried a risk of quadriplegia. We also learned she had nodules in one of her lungs.

A few days later, she had the spine surgery and spent a critical night in the ICU. The next morning, we didn't know if she would even be able to walk. Incredibly, less than 24 hours after surgery, she was walking laps around the Brain and Spine Acute Care Unit and was able to come home the following day. While she has lost feeling on her left side, the surgeon says the operation couldn't have gone better, and she may regain sensation over time. 

After an anxious week-long wait, the pathology results came back, and thankfully, the tumor was rare but benign! Now, she is scheduled for more scans and a lung biopsy in a few weeks. We are praying these go just as well as her spine recovery.

                                                      Happy 250th Birthday, America!
