When I used to be able to kneel on the ground 😊

Getting up and down has become a problem. Total knee replacement and getting rear-ended in auto accident has made getting up and down near impossible. 🙃
I am sure sorry to hear that! "Getting older is not for the weak," as my mom used to say (98.5 at death). And then when you have extraneous forces that happen out of the blue, well, that puts an extra layer of troubles into the equation
I hope you find some comfort, Jim ⭐Nov 11, 2023 11:50:41 #

Excellent set Joe - nicely captured!
Thank you so much. I know you probably left your first name for me in comments in a post, but I usually don't go back and read through everything again, so I missed it. Sorry, YS

Hair is overrated, but your photos deserve the highest rating. I've never seen that type of shingles on a barn.
Where I have my little weekend place near Laporte, IN, there are a lot of old, old structures where I often see stuff I find unusual. Most of the time I'm going fast with traffic behind me and minimal shoulders on the road. I vow to go back for a shot with more preparation. And then I forget 👀 I really appreciate that exceptional comment about the photos, big time, so here: 💰💰💰💰

Nice shots and processing, Jim.
I can still kneel just fine; I just can't get up w/o some kind of help.

You and me both, John (I'm Joe, right in my screen name
) When my mom died, she left behind her adjustable aluminum cane, and it just occurred to me that it wouldn't be so hard to carry for those situations when getting back up required a little support

Excellent. I have no trouble kneeling. My problem is getting back up after I do.
Getting back up is the part I've been hearing about from just about everyone, Max. There must be an epidemic
I worked as a dock supervisor for 13 years, and when I needed something out in the yard, I'd just jump off the dock. I was 30 then. One of my older crew guys told me to stop it because it would come back to roost. I told him I didn't feel like walking the three hundred feet back to the stairs - and continued to do it. Now... 😰😰😰Thanks for your fine comment 🌟

That's a real eclectic offering, Joe. I like them all but that old barn/shed really catches my eye.
I'd bet that that old barn, which is still standing, has caught the eye of a lot of roofers, painters, and carpenters throughout the years as well

Same here, in spades 🖤 Another thing for me is balance which, starting about four years ago, went to Hades!
Because of the kneeling or squatting part, I have started using my 300mm with an extension tube attached 🌟🌟 You can read about that in my upcoming "Lazy Man's Guide to Photography" 😛😛😛

Dodie, I am totally looking forward to your work-arounds for the meniscus impaired.
