... is drawn to the prairie coneflower. A few trips to the arboretum last month left me with hundreds of photos to process but headaches and eyestrain make it slow going. Cataract surgery is scheduled later this month. Thanks to all who expressed concern. My Flickr friends are the best. Thanks!

This was me on the catamaran for Easter dinner with friends. Sarah prepared a beautiful meal for us, and we had a great time on the boat. I've spent several holidays at the marina and it's always a great experience!

 

I'm plugging along with my edits. I will be having more eye surgery starting on May 3rd, and another cataract operation on June 28th. Hopefully, after all that I'll be good to go and can see what I'm doing without headaches and eyestrain. I'm trying to get as much done as I can in the meantime, which is one reason why I'm not on much lately. Since last September, my eyes have been getting very tired easily, and I've had to pace myself. Trying to do as much as I can to save photos, do some new ones to keep my sanity, and working with messed up eyes has been pretty exhausting. I'm really hopeful that the surgeries will make things easier so I can be back on here more! I could use your prayers in the meantime.

Acceptable 52 weeks? I think so.

 

I was going to say something profound here but I forgot.

I apparently have cataracts starting, and some eyestrain from focusing on the computer screen.

One morning two Lumens of Light fell up the mountain and went home, tree clouds absorbed every red brick stack until a pinkness reflected the Auteurs tired eyestrain , she had to do it, hindsight would be there cooling beside a volcano at some point in the future as it did in the past. She was driven ,Those lumens had rolled up over the steep scree looking as lightweight as dry tumbleweed, no one would have heard them not that scree and tumble weed could ever coexist in the same terrain, tumbleweed here was just a generic loose bunch of dry bracken held together with lengths of sticky bud tendrils just like a Lumen, mostly full of radiant ice cool light, and as they rolled, spinning without shade they emphasised the ley and the lay of the land and the strata of rocks by creeping stain-like across the textured dotty bubbles of gravel and minuscule constellations enshrouded by quartz crystals and pattern after pattern, in fact a pulsing rhythm of patternity, contrasting a monosyllabic wall of barriers begging to be brushed as gesso grosso is stroked, brushed and pounced onto canvas, currents, smoothed to carry the lumens to breathe the flow of flax as a thermal of breezes holding shape-shifting shoals of mirror fish swimming for all their worth towards the waning moon. Old low light rolling down a hedge path edged by coppiced elms and banks of alium, alexander fresh green hunger blank walls of white engrained emulsions, chalk words of the white wide ceiling skies bursting with flocks and pollen of wind blown seeds, they share the vacuum and only see when they are spoken to, no time to join the dots before the next eclipse, never knowing if what they saw was something I thought I imagined for them to believe and not knowing why threes a cloud.

Munch, munch, munch, munch....do you hear the internet creepers eating my computer? This is the last one shot processed before taking my computer in for a check. It keeps on "wanting" to download a malware called GreenAV (exe file). I think that's all it has, the place I took it thinks there's more. We'll see!!! In the meantime, I'm on the "spare". No processing until my main computer is back home again--this one gives me waaaayyyy too much eyestrain.

The bright spot in my morning :-)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

View On Black

Well, winter officially begins on the solstice (December 21), two days from now. But it's been snowy the past couple of days, and this is what we woke up to today. There's nothing like a fresh coating of snow to make the woods look even more magical.

 

I have had a rough couple of weeks at work; most days I pulled 10-, 11-, or 12-hour shifts (and since I'm salaried, that does not mean extra money or overtime pay). Keep in mind my job involves copyediting, so I'm staring at computer screens all... day... long. Can you say eyestrain? So needless to say, I was looking forward to this weekend so I could sleep in and then get out at my own pace and lose myself in the woods with my camera.

 

That changed when I got home from work last night at 7pm and found I'd gotten a flat tire on my Tucson! I was not a happy camper. I knew I would not be sleeping in on Saturday morning, and I knew I'd have to change the flat with the spare tire, then drive off to the tire place to get it repaired or replaced. Long story short, I didn't get out of the tire repair shop until noon. This was without food or coffee (!) all morning.

 

Even so, I decided what I needed more than anything else in the world was to get away from the world for awhile. So I drove to the Morton Arboretum, parked as soon as I could, and I walked. And hardly a soul was around, which pleased me greatly. I was starting to rejuvenate, and it felt fantastic. Despite a light snow still falling, I got out my camera and I got lost in the woods, and I felt amazingly better! I wish you could smell the smells I experienced today. The air was fresh and moist, drawing out the aroma of the woods and prairie grasses and dead flowers and even the river. It was almost a spring-like smell.

 

So this shot symbolizes that feeling and those smells and everything wonderful about today. I know that Monday brings at least a three-day return to the work madness, but for now I am relaxed. I'm going to stare at this shot for awhile and draw myself back into that moment. Go ahead and look awhile yourself!
