November has been a wash for collecting photons in these parts. The first snow is on the ground. The clear nights without a moon were few. And Father Time has been kickin' my hind end. I had loads of fun wearing out my joints over 60-some years. But the arthritis in my hips has...uh...put a damper on moving around very much. This too will pass, as modern medicine offers a variety of fixes: most likely hip resurfacing.
Meanwhile I have dabbled in some small terrestrial shots, using a Canon 10-22mm zoom. I like the lens, and it will come to focus in the macro mode at about 8". The image at the top was shot at 16mm, processed, cropped, and saved for the web in Photshop CS2. It's a particularly appropriate subject-matter, as both the flower and Ol Max are pansies!
