January 4, 2012 - A Not So Very Good Day for Seeing Things

Rock hounding is fun - chert from Utah
Capturing wildflowers on film was a passion for my parents
Adding flowers of the sea to the collection has been fun!

Today I had a PT session, followed by a very enjoyable lunch with friends (yes, we played bananagrams) followed by a visit to my opthamologist, where I discovered my good eye now has 20/60 vision due to a new problem.  So, I am no longer driving, until this gets resolved.  The day was hectic enough that I didn't get any photos taken - but let me tell you about what I saw.  First, it was another, beautiful, sunny winter day.  The sunset was orange and gold.  My friend's house still has a Christmas tree up, and she has a quilt of incredible color she's preparing to make.  The PT room has exercise balls of all colors and textures - I'm not sure why I never noticed that before, but I did notice them today.  And I decided to add some favorite photos that have been taken at other times.  The top one was taken just yesterday - the rock was collected a year and a half ago.  The bottom photo, of raccoon butterflyfish, was taken in November, shortly before I began this blog.  And the photo of the lily was taken on a rockhounding expedition this past June to Red Top Mountain.  These things will not stop me from seeing the beautiful - it still surrounds each of us, if only we will look and listen, if only we will attend.
