V is for Vase

The curved vase is from IKEA; it's home to a "lucky bamboo" plant--it must lucky because it seems to be thriving on our window sill.

It was rather a rough day emotionally: when I was at work this afternoon, I got a phone call from my husband that he's scheduled to start radiation treatments for his recurrent prostate cancer on Monday; this evening we had a friend over for dinner who's having breast cancer surgery tomorrow. I realized after she'd left that I'd forgotten to take my photo for today. So I turned my little P&S on the "lucky bamboo" that's in a little vase on the wall next to the back door. There's something reassuring that I'd just by chance focus my attention on something that is supposed to bring good fortune. Bas Relief and Ink Outlines added texture and dimension.
