Well, those couple of weeks off lasted longer than I had expected. And they are still continuing. I’ve realized that, due to an ongoing health issue with my eyes, that I need to drastically reduce my time using my computer and thus being online for the time being. So I will occasionally post and try to visit other blogs, but only infrequently. I don’t know when, or if, I’ll get back to posting and visiting every day.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having troubles. I hope things get better for you soon. I’ve missed your creative photos. This is of course beautiful.
this is so soft and the pastels are a wonderful mix. i know how much you value your photography and i always enjoy your photos. the blogging community is also a wonderful thing, but your eyes are much more important. you need to stay away from the screen.
Hope you will feel better with reduced strain on your eyes. You are a wonderful photographer who needs to protect your greatest assets. Good luck and good health!
