Since I am writing this post on Melanoma Monday which is always the first Monday in May (an event to raise awareness about this cancer), I thought I'd use a photograph I took last year on the way into my dermatologist's office. Going to a dermatologist four times a year is part of my world, as well as being followed by an oncologist for stage III melanoma. Anyone interested in learning more can go to my other blog and read my 2008 melanoma monday post. I did one on that blog for 2009 but the 2008 one is more thorough.
To visit other parts of the world, please go to the home of That's My World Tuesday.

About Me
- Carver
- My original site, Carver's Sight or is that Site, was inspired by reading the blogs of people who I got to know through the Melanoma Patient's Information Page (MPIP). As time has gone on, I find myself talking as much about gardening, photography, and other random thoughts as I do about melanoma follow up. I am happy about that. I have set up an additional site, Carver Cards, which is primarily a photoblog.

Carver: What a beautiful flower display you have shown to bring awareness.
That is a gorgeous display. So lush! Thanks for raising my awareness.

Beautiful picture!
Please check your email! I sent you a message!
Kind Regards

What a great utilisation of space. Great colours, Carver - and such a personal connection.
Lovely photo but I was most interested in your referal to the earlier post. My husband was diagnosed last year; a small, symmetrical growth that his doctor thought insignificant but thankfuly sent him for a biopsy anyway. That is good information.
Hoping you are now well
A very worthwhile cause, beautifully highlighted. Blogging can reach out to so many of us as we all know someone who has been affected
Beautiful photos. Hope you are well.

What a marvelous display, Carver! And thanks for raising my awareness, too! Hope you are doing better and better, i'm holding good thoughts for you!
Wonderful photo and post... Thanks for the reminder.
I looked back at your last year's post and saw all the great info you have there. Great botanical photo to show your appreciation of life.
Beautiful display of leaves. I'll go back and read your old posts when I have more time.
I discover your blog while blog hopping. I enjoyed looking at your beautiful, coloful and huge photos.I like them big.
The arrangement is so beautiful, it cheers me up.
Beautiful flowers and photo. I hope for a full recovery and less visits to your doctor.
A lovely arrangement, to bring awareness to something not quite as pretty, but just as real.
A friend was diagnosed with Melanoma. He was ignoring a mole that had changed in shape and size. Thank goodness for the nagging and insistence of a loving wife! It had spread to several lymph nodes, but he survived.
what abeautiful setting to walk up to!
Awesome flowers. Thanks for raising awareness this month. I wish being tan wasn't still so popular. I hope you are doing well.
That center piece is a work of art and the color contrast is lovely!
Carver, that's beautiful! I'm glad you are doing well, I have a friend who was diagnosed with melanoma too and he's doing fine! :)
