Beautiful shots, Joe. That last one looks like an eyeball tree.


Thanks for commenting, Moshe, but how in the world did you know what that tree was

There are soooo many funny replies to your kneeling comment, Joe because many of us can relate to the shots that we can no longer attempt due to the myriad of reasons associated with getting older.

Fortunately, your hair, or lack thereof, hasn't affected your photographic talents.


I appreciate that, Mike. Another thing about getting older: I used to have red hair, and I golfed tons when I was in my twenties, always without a hat in order to turn the hair blonder. A couple years back, I started developing some scaling on my shaved head. I went to a dermatologist who told me that it can come back to bite you even after wearing a hat outdoors ever since, which I've done. She always takes photos of the head from visit to visit. She showed me a side by side shot showing last time/this time and pushed the two together for easier comparison. I said "Jeez, Doc! You've made an ass out of my head!" She almost wet her pants

I’ve noticed that as I became follicly challenged that the ground got progressively further away.


You too Have your arms gotten longer to compensate

I'm in the same place, ie, not kneeling πŸ˜€
Nice group
Thanks


Thank you for commenting, and with the knees, I guess you'll have to stick an "r" between the "o" and "m" in your screen name πŸ€ͺ

Joe, these are fantastic. I love that old barn, with multiple textures to explore and the presentation of the ladybug photo is terrific.

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 ⭐


I'm on a posting of oldies binge lately because of the ton of "lost" CDs I found 🎈🎈🎈

Great set, Joe, getting down is not a problem, getting up is.

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


I saw meniscus impaired, and I have to share a story. Our office was outside of a large study room where another department had moved their whole office during remodeling. One of their secretaries was having a problem with some equipment. I sat on a swivel chair and attempted to help. I spun the chair around to reach for something, only to have the sharp corner of an open file drawer drive right into the meniscus. I saw 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟! I had problems with that knee for several years, but luckily, nothing since. In fact, a recent Xray showed nothing except very minimal arthritis πŸ€—

Can't even attempt it anymore, but these were taken around 2003-4. Old shots that I have cleaned up πŸ€—
A lot of green stuff here, but unfortunately, it's not money I'm talking about 😴
All taken in the Fish Lake area of Indiana, back when I had hair!


Very nice shots. I'm with you on the kneeling down part.

great set, I can't get up any more either, but using the tilt on the viewer works, sometimes. Use to get flat on the ground also.

Just beautiful Joer. So many things to like.

I know what you mean about getting down low, it’s much harder for me too and I can’t stay down very long.
