Taking a Break

 Clearing Storm over Lookout Mountain.

I'm taking a break. Several days, maybe as much as a week. Meanwhile, I'm posting one of my favorite pictures for you to look at while I'm gone.

As you may have noticed, I've been somewhat sporadic lately.

As I say in the fine print at the bottom of every post "I post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday unless life gets in the way." And right now, life is in the way. I have some things going on that make it difficult to give sufficient attention to my blog. Louise has a broken arm (she fell while walking the dog) and is also in the grip of severe and painful back spasms, so I have been nurse, cook, and housekeeper. We have an appointment with a neurosurgeon on Thursday. I hope we can find out what is going on. 

Also, as a result of a fall I had in August, 2024, (read about it  here) I have my own back problems that hinder my walking. I can walk, but it isn't much fun. I use a cane, and having one more thing in my hands is one thing too many. So I don't carry a camera with me at all times as I have done since 1968.

I hope to be back soon.

The photo: This was made in the '90s with a Canon EOS A2 camera and the wonderful Canon EF 80-200mm f2.8L lens -- the first version, known as "the Magic Drainpipe." The film, as usual, was Fujichrome 100.

See my October 3rd post for information about ordering original prints from the Rock City Barns book.
