Not only is the week nearly over, but so is the month. I seem to have lost a year or more, somewhere along the way.  I have had to share some really sad news with the community, far too often lately. I hate to have to share losses with you. Far too many members are losing loved ones, their jobs and in some cases, even their homes. I just breaks my heart.
Â
 Today I am going to spotlight a few members who could use some help in one way or another. I know we can't find them a job, or heal their illnesses but we can show our support. I am not at liberty to share their problems but I know you will still show your support to these members. They need us.

 I contacted Chuck, from Gather member support, concerning the new +1 button at the bottom of each post. This button can be found along side the twitter, facebook and recommend buttons. This is the reply I received from Chuck: “That button is very similar to the Facebook and Twitter buttons you see next to it. Click this button to share the article/photo/video on your Google Plus account, if you have one. Google+ (Google Plus) is a social network that Google is in the process of launching, in order to compete with Facebook.† |

Thank you for taking the time to view the post. There are just so many in the community who need our support right now.
I am so sorry to hear about your job. I will keep you in mind when I do up the weekend post.
Welcome back {{{HUGS}}}
Thanks for all you do, Connie.
I just did not think the web site would go over as well as it has..... As soon as the Best of Photography hardback book is out where one of my hawks will be in , I will let people know about it. It is pretty cool to be chosen out of thousands of photographs and people all over the world to be published.
I am sorry to hear of others woes, some of our own but not as bad as others it sounds like. Winter time should slow down ?
Thank you again Connie, appreciate it!
I always appreciate your compassion for others as you share and uplift their spirits.
God Bless
