my posts have been less frequent
due to problems with my vision,
it has been difficult to look at a
computer screen and take photos,
my ophthalmologist assured me
that i am not losing my sight.
2011 started with a limp,
the result of a foot injury,
i didn't see where i was going.
nothing serious really,
hopefully all will be better soon.
