An Unexpected Find
Tiger Swallowtail thanks for the ID Park Ranger!
Hello flickr friends.Yes I'm still alive and kicking.The cataract surgeries were a spectacular success,truly a miracle as far as I'm concerned.I never had any pain during the procedure or during the healing.Distance viewing is now 20/20.
I've really only been taking people photo's since I had the cataracts removed.That's why I haven't posted anything.Who the heck wants to see pictures of people that even I don't know.
I was taking senior portraits of our daughter at Silver Lakes golf course when we came across this patch of beautiful little flowers.They were alive with butterflies,dragonflies and bees.So I had to grab a few shots.This was taken with my newest lens a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS.I use it and a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L for taking portraits.I keep one on the 40D and the other on the Rebel.These are amazing pieces of glass.
Silver Lakes is one of the Robert Trent Jones golf courses which might mean something to those of you who play the game.The beauty of this course is just spectacular,with lots of lakes and a very nice little waterfall.
The people who run it were super nice to us.They didn't charge us anything to go out on the course and even let us have the use of a golf cart for free even though I offered to pay for it.That was pretty nice of them I thought.

My Honey
This is my wife Rose.We attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago and I was able to get this shot using light from the golden hour before sunset.
Rose's hair is a light Auburn color but when she's in the sun it shimmers like polished bronze.Her Eyes are green with little flecks of gold.I am a blessed man to have her share my life.She is as nice a person as she is beautiful.
I am having the second cataract surgery tomorrow morning,if it goes as well as the first surgery I will be a very happy camper.
I would highly recommend that anyone considering this type of surgery should do it.I feel like I have been given a miracle to be able to see like I can now.It's really awesome.

Not Too Bad
Shame on me for being so involved but yet so clueless as to what is happening right In front of me.There were no ill effects from this just a shame faced Granddaddy.
If I had noticed it I would have stopped her but I knew it shouldn't hurt her,but it is a lesson learned.The next time might not be so harmless.
