Spring Cascade
I had to stop taking photos a few weeks ago. I wouldn't usually post health stuff but I'm afraid I've had a hemmorhage on the optic nerve on the retina in my right eye and a 'posterior vitreous detachment'. I won't go on but I can see thousands of tiny dots, oil-like streaks and flashing lights in the eye and was told it may be months before things improve, even then not fully.
The consultant said go out and take photos as best you can. It's been a sobering time, a time to reflect on what really matters in life. I've been to the local gardens a few times and taken some shots just using auto focus. I never thought I'd be so grateful just to sit on a bench and look at the beautiful colour all around...the things we take for granted.
Still feeling a bit low but determined not to stay home feeling sorry for myself. I can't spend much time on a screen right now so please excuse me if I don't comment at the moment.
