Through the Looking Glass

This is what happens when I'm out of commission and not able to go outside with my camera.

I'm finding different ways to shoot things outside from the inside:

Through the Looking Glass

My neighbor's backyard, taken through a drinking glass. I was drinking a big glass of water when I noticed how the bottom of the glass distorted the window in front of me, like a fisheye lens.

False Fisheye
See the bent lines? Those are part of the windows, normally straight. Hey, I'm always on the lookout for weird things like this!

Changing subjects - my knee injury - first of all, thank you for all the well wishes. I found out today that I have a torn ACL (the Anterior Cruciate Ligament). Truthfully, this is the diagnosis that I expected and while it's certainly not something I wished for, I know it is treatable through surgery and I am confident I'll recover. So no marathon for me this year, but I won't let this stop me from trying in 2013.

  1. Shirley, I'm so sorry to hear that you indeed tear your ACL. When I read about your injury I hoped this wasn't it. Mitch tore his ACL early Fall playing soccer & had surgery to repair it. The good news is that surgery has come a long way & his recovery has been without complication. He even jogged a 10 minute mile last night :) Sending hugs & good thoughts for a speedy recovery. Let me know if you have any questions!
