Full moon

Moon-12-12-08 021

I tried folks. It was to cold to stand out there long. I never got one without the small blue ring around it and when I backed off the zoom you couldn't see the craters on it. I had it set on the auto setting of course and used no tripod. I couldn't stand for any length of time either.

  10. The moon is in focus so the blue ring must be a light condition. Perhaps a polaroid filter would change it. However it does not diminish the appearance with the ring present. I have pushed it a little with my dumbbells and the numbness in my left hand/arm seems to have improved. My left hand ended up feeling 'jammed' and I could not bend it yesterday until I kept moving it open and closed. I have a large scar on my left shoulder where the lipoma was ripped away from the inside during surgery. It had grown into my muscle's and had been moving position for years before removal. Apparently the scar tissue is pinching nerves. I took yesterday off from the dumbbells and can feel the difference a week of exercise did to my upper back. I will continue to do what I can to improve the quality of my life as living in constant pain is something I just accept. Knowing what is causing the pain give's information that makes a therapy become apparent. I have had physical therapist's tell me for years about the need for exercise. Take care and do what you can knowing that things can improve. I will keep you and your family in my thought's and wish you a Merry Christms. mark

  12. Oh my word, you ought to have a medal for this one. Some folks journal with their dying breath but you will be snapping away with a camera with yours. You might even catch sight of an angel someday with your camera! You gave me my lift for the day. Gerry

  17. Hello from E Tenn. Just thinking about you folks and hoping all is going good for you. I was looking at some fishing pictures today and it made me "fishing-sick" ... that's homesick for some fishing.
