Precious Sight

I spent most of today in pain and moderate discomfort from an issue with my eye. I tried to flush it myself but ended up going to an eye doctor. Turns out it was a sliver of wood stuck in my eye. Nice. I left the eye doctors and was going to take a walkabout but the eye, though no longer hurting, was still weeping a lot. I think I am an above average in being aware to how good most of us have it but I never realized how much impact not having vision in one of our eyes can impact ones life.

Since I was not comfortable going for a walkabout I went through some pictures I took Friday. The morning was humbly cool and I had a small window of time during a break in the rain. Here a few from that set. It is good to see them, though they are not my best, and to know how precious that is.

DSCF5071 — Buttonbush using my old barn as a backdrop…kind of. Missed by this….. much!

DSCF5055 — I look around a lot will on walkabout. Up, down and all around! I found this little flower and though I do not know what it is one thing is sure: It is tiny. See the next picture for comparison.

DSCF5057 — The comparison shot for the above picture. I told you the were tiny!

DSCF5032 — I believe this the flower of a plant called Common Mullein.

DSCF5067 — We have always called this a Night Shade flower but the correct name is Horse Nettle.

Rain Delay

Because of the much-needed rain showing up this weekend I have not taken but a few shots since last week late. So here are three of one of my favorite subjects while I am on rain delay! The top and bottom I took with my Minolta 35mm film camera in the morning one weekend.The middle with my beloved, and no longer working, Canon PowerShot S3is at dusk.
