I had cataract surgery in both eyes this month and have been without glasses, which will be for another two weeks.  They will not do an eye exam until this coming Friday.  I have major astigmatisms and double vision.  The drugstore 'readers' will not help any.

Fortunately, my camera has Auto Focus.  I guess that I could hit the 'Auto' button on the photo software, but that would be of no fun.  So, these pictures have had minor adjustments, with the help of a magnifying glass, which does nothing for the focusing.

We went to Gibbs Gardens with just the camera and one lens.  The lens, a 12-16mm Wide Angle lens, is not something that I would use taking landscape pictures.  As a aside, I bought the lens to take pictures of a Bed and Breakfast.  Here is a link:

Linda and I have stayed there a couple of times and if you are planning on going to Calloway Gardens and the surrounding area. we highly recommend this place.

The other goal was to take pictures of new and or different compositions.  Most, but not all, of the pictures fall within my goals.
