going to a Photography seminar!

This weekend I will be attending a photography seminar given by Gary Friedman https://friedmanarchivespress.com/seminars/index.htm
I am very excited to meet him and to learn more about my camera as well as photography of course. First day I am attending with Dan, my husband and Adam our 11 year old nephew, who i think will be an awesome photographer one day. He has already shown promise, which makes me very proud of him!!
Second day I am on my own, nervous about that because of vision, but I will get past that and enjoy the day!
So hopefully with this seminar a light bulb will come on in my head and maybe some more creative or WOW photo's will spill from my camera!!
Very excited for this class!!

Peregrine Falcon

On our walk the other day I captured this shot, did not know what it was, but a good friend told me it is a Peregrine Falcon!!

Ready to take off!!

Canada Goose in a big flap

Sitting by the pond for a while watching the interactions between a Heron and this Canada Goose, I was able to capture the posturing of this guy.

fog

The past few days or so I have had a fog or fuzziness that has just been driving me crazy. It is like when you put your glasses on and they are dirty, so you are able to take them off, clean them and all is well. Not so with my vision. I wish that were the cure, I habitually take off my glasses to do just that only to realize even with them off my vision is fuzzy.
It has been frustrating, and I have really kept it to myself, not to bother my hubby as there is enough stress going on without my damn vision.
I realize my circle is getting smaller when I am out walking and where I could see my arms swinging as I walk, now I can't. I noticed yesterday just walking to the store that the street signs once again are so out of focus I cannot read them until I am almost on top of them. Guess I will really have to take my eye meds regularly to help with the edema and possibly fix the acuity loss. I dunno anymore.
Makes me feel like I need a wide angle lens for my damn eyes just to see the area around me. See my dogs, and not trip over them as I have been doing so much of lately. Thankfully they don't seem to mind mom stumbling over them, as they can't be bothered to get out of the way. :)
Oh well, just rambling through my frustration today, getting it out of my system and hoping I feel better for doing so. Damn eyes!

Great Job!!

Hey babe! GREAT job on the site....I love it! Keep up the good work and know I am behind you 100% ----- ND

first walk of the year

Went for a walk in the misty morning, these shots were taken without me wearing my glasses, I am pleasantly pleased. Love the ducks at the park, can you tell? :)
