weekly photo challenge : hands

I’ve chosen several photos (as usual) for the challenge. The first two show my hands since surgery, and trust me – they are looking good.

The next three photos show hands working on food preparation, making movements we take for granted. We humans are lucky to have those great opposable thumbs!

Then there are two pictures of my friend and I carving printing plates. This creative work is extremely important to us. I am taking care of my hands by taking breaks and stretching while I work, instead of trying to do marathon work sessions.

This last photo is not technically a hand, but I’m not going to be the one to tell the cat. Are you?
