I wonder how many readers missed that fact and just saw the larger one.

Then I thought about the back, and remembered you had cataract surgery planned, as well, and decided to wait.<br /><br />I'm really glad to heard you're improving on both counts—and wish you all the best for your upcoming surgery. You'll be good as new in no time. <br /><br />I had a bit of an injury a couple of weeks ago myself, and have been on antibiotics for the past 10 days to clear up the subsequent infection. I'm feeling better now. And the really good—great!—news is that I finally got the lens issues resolved, so for the first time since the end of May, I can see well. <br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying the posts and comments. Hope you like the slightly new look.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-88981456840066482102010-10-01T16:20:31.031-04:002010-10-01T16:20:31.031-04:00Hi Griz

I am no photographer so I feel so grateful that I can visit sites like yours and George's. <br />The discussions build wonderfully on the original posts to be so inspirational as I start to venture out again as the back improves. <br />I had the first cataract op on the left eye and the other is booked for two weeks time so one eye feels youthful and active while the other is slow, lazy and old.<br />Rocks, trees, hedge rows, rivers, meadows, beaches, mountains... Wherever we are, we are presented with such inspirational variations of light, shape and texture.<br />Have a great weekend.<br />...TrampTramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367405984066895755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-9731698663528059742010-10-01T16:04:50.315-04:002010-10-01T16:04:50.315-04:00Scott…

(Of course you know…I'll never be able to look at my river stones again and not see a pair of surfacing hippos. Might as well go out and paste on a pair of little rounded ears.)Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-87555880479577539042010-10-01T15:53:59.020-04:002010-10-01T15:53:59.020-04:00Weaver…

It the same thing for a painter—the direction, intensity, and quality of the light is so very important, and just finding it is enough to get the creative juices flowing. All good photographers and painters have been masters of light. Artistic talent and magnificent light combine to produce the stuff that hangs in museums and galleries.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-73463234308176921402010-10-01T15:44:50.483-04:002010-10-01T15:44:50.483-04:00Bonnie…

The zoo is hemmed in on all sides by residential areas, bridges, and highways located in a gritty part of the city. To brighten things up, many of the bridge abutments and overpasses are adorned with murals featuring animals. On today's pass, because I was stuck in traffic, I had a chance to enjoy a mural that featured a hippo surfacing in a pool. Just its snout and the top of its head were showing (like two rocks in a creek), and the mural artist had added multicolored ripple rings around the surfacing hippo (like dusky light surrounding two rocks). Your beautiful image just brought the mural into sharp focus again for me.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443352705506509732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-19847900890661102502010-10-01T12:35:46.982-04:002010-10-01T12:35:46.982-04:00No wonder artists rave about the quality of the li...No wonder artists rave about the quality of the light Jim - you would not even think those two photos were taken in the same country let alone in the same stream.

That's probably not quite true…but almost, and the lessons are enduring and necessary to what we, the human race, so sorely need.<br /><br />I'm just about to head out for a bit of photography-interrupted-by-errands, which is often how I kill two birds with one stone.<br /><br />You do the same re. the weekend.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-18358027894845200562010-10-01T10:21:32.695-04:002010-10-01T10:21:32.695-04:00These are wonderful photos, Grizz, especially the ...These are wonderful photos, Grizz, especially the header photo. I love the way that the late evening light simplifies things and reduces everything to its essence. It always reminds me of what I need to be doing in my own life. On the other hand, the turtle in the footer photo also has a pretty good lesson for me: Just sit on something solid and bask in the light. Two photos, two inspirations. Thanks and have a lovely weekend.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.com
