The Fountain: A View from 5th Floor

I took some time out
To rest and recuperate
In a hospital...

© 2026 Pamela MacCarthy

I spent a few days getting
the care I needed.
I'm on the mend now,
it'll be a little while,
before I'm 100%...

I can't say thanks enough
to all who helped me; Marisol, Wayne, Vicki,
and all my caregivers at hospital.
And especially to my dear friend Janine
whose advice to get to the ER
I took seriously.

In hospital, I watched the final Knicks vs. Spurs
game.
My nurse, Antony, was with me.
We watched the final winning moments together.
It was cool...

I got home on the 14th.
Now, I rest and take care of myself...

It was a windy day.
Weak umbrellas were a no-go.

Situated in front of us on the beach
was a gorgeous tarp, in the shape of an arch,
that provided both shade and beauteous flying colors!

I want one!

Observing patterns-
Crunching on a pretzel rod-
Deep contemplation...

I've been doing my best girl stuff:
Shopping, swimming, hanging out with girlfriends,
reading, writing, sipping wine, listening to music,
biking and cooking.

And taking photos...

Artemis II

'Was one of those days
That just quietly unfolds
Like a bag of chips

© 2026 Pamela MacCarthy

Yesterday, before sunset it was warm and clear,
here in FLA.
Myself and my sister Debra watched the brief launching of the Artemis II;
everyone in neighborhood was out and about doing the same-
It was a nice time to wander,
Onyx the Huntress thought so too.
She found a most beautifully inviting
Bottle Brush Tree, and decided to investigate the possibilities.
Myself, as her loyal publicist, took photos...

Finishing out, with a bike ride.
At sunset, there's always a show...

I went swimming yesterday for the first time this year.
It was sunny, 85°F / 29.4°C.
While sunning, I looked at the sky and saw this:

Blood Moon Eclipse

Approx. 6:20am, EST

It was still dark out-
I lean'd on a palm tree to see
The full moon turn red...

Meladramas is 23!

I got my eyes checked
and got new glasses.
I wear sunglasses most of the time,
with prescription lenses...
These new ones have lighter, gradient tinted lenses.
The frames are designed by Ani of Israel.

This is my second pair from this designer-
I love the look,
it suits me...
