A Color Full Fall Morning

I wake up each morning to be greeted

by this wonderful Maple Tree.

This morning the fog lay in the background

covering Mt. Tam like a blanket.

However in the foreground,

the sun hit the tree as it came around my 

apartment building.

The tree glistened in all its glory.

Later on, I took another photo from our

solarium next to my unit. 

The skies had become blue and were 

a wonderful contrast to 

the brilliant fall colors of the tree.

This morning I had my last post op visit

with Dr. Cheng, my eye surgeon.

She is very happy with the progress so far.

My brain still needs to learn how 

to use these multi focal lenses.

I am already beyond thrilled with the fact 

that I no longer have a parchment colored

filter through which I view the world.

Having had my cataracts removed and 

having new lenses put in is like

a miracle for me.

Thank you God for my eyesight

and for modern technology and 

medicine that allow me to see

so well!

I came an hour early to my appointment 

to be able to have  

 a long walk through 

the older neighborhoods of San Rafael. 

I love the older homes with 

their mature trees. 

I walked through the Gerstle

Park and Forbes areas of the town.

This bright bag is my latest purchase.

I got it at the Mill Valley Arts Festival

last weekend. With the bright red, 

I won't wonder where I set down my bag.

I love being able to walk hands 

free and this hip bag will work great.
