Thanks. I haven't been great with lawyers. The last one settled my mom's estate, and that was a nightmare, so I wouldn't want to use them again. My one client's mom, who has become, over many years of working with her daughter, like a second mom to me, has a lawyer, so I may ask her.

I don't exactly know the state of my camera as I went to pick it up before and my wrist was hurting too much. I just remember something about the zoom not working, but the settings may have been knocked wrong. Will try and check it tomorrow. Need I guess go to a walk-in clinic as I am really aching and the one bruise is bad. I was supposed to do that today, and this entire day has been a huge blur. Hopefully, tomorrow I can, as I don't have any clients to see.

Thanks for caring! I miss my guys as I try to see them everyday! They've become my happy place.

I'm responding again after reading all of the responses you've received. You mentioned that you haven't had good experiences with attorneys, citing an estate settlement gone awry. In that case, the attorney probably charged you a fee for his work regardless of the outcome. In personal injury situations like yours right now, they work on a contingency, which means that they get a percentage of your settlement. If they don't produce, you don't pay. And they are incentivized to get you the highest possible settlement. Fair isn't one of the considerations on either side of this issue. There are lots of ways to find good attorneys, use them. If you're not physically or emotionally up for it right now, ask a friend for help.

Good luck and God bless.

I agree with most of the advice you've been getting regarding getting an attorney to fully explain what your rights are and typically what you could get from negotiated settlements or a lawsuit. Doesn't mean you have to act on them but at least you will know what's customary. Most automotive insurance policies contain at least $100,000 medical personal injury and like $10,000 for damage/loss of personal possessions so don't feel that you're taking advantage of anyone.

In a nutshell (you've seen plenty of those), get all the facts before you make a decision on how to proceed. Also, is there any place we can send a bag of peanuts for you. As any squirrel will tell you, sitting around and cracking open peanuts shells and eating the nuts can be very cathartic.

Don't forget you have to allow for elevation and windage. And age, you definitely gotta allow for age too.

It's very interesting and casts a wonderful shadow.


I didn't notice the relationship between the pod and the shadow until you mentioned it, Kathy. Going back and looking at it with that eye, I think I would have rotated it and see how it looked. As it is, it's almost symmetrical but not quite. But then again, nothing is impossible for someone who doesn't have to do it themselves.

'Golden hour' in the desert.

The middle image is the one I want feedback on.
 


It's not your treatments, it's the image itself. Just not enough to capture the viewer's eye, so not that many people will bother looking in to see more no matter how you treat it.

This is a seed pod from a tree in my front yard. Most are straight but for some reason this one is twisted. I can't comment on how God presents things for us but will only marvel at what a neat photographic subject I thought it was.

Is that from a catalpa tree? Looks like it.

There was an exhibit of Irving Penn at the deYoung.
I started to take pictures of the work, but I gave up, and took some of the people looking at the photos.
I don't know if these are worth posting. Comments?
Trying to make someone's art my own.


Nice set of images, Tom. I like the peek over the shoulder approach and use it myself. Normally I do it when people are creating the art, but looking and doing are pretty much the same in this case. Feel like a bit of a voyeur at times. Also like the subdued lighting, it complements the "museum feel" and focuses the attention on the pictures themselves.

After the guided part of the tour, we went wandering. On our connecting flight from Zurich to Barcelona, one of our “seatmates” told us we “had to try Laderach Chocolate in Switzerland.” We found a Laderach shop and bought some for us and our family. It was delicious!

Next, we walked over to the Chapel Bridge. The Kapellbrücke (literally, Chapel Bridge) is a covered wooden footbridge spanning the river Reuss diagonally in the city of Lucerne. Named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel, the bridge is unique in containing a number of interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, although many of them were destroyed along with a larger part of the centuries-old bridge in a 1993 fire. Subsequently restored, the Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge. It serves as the city's symbol and as one of Switzerland’s main tourist attractions. The bridge was initially over 270 metres (890 ft) long, although numerous shortenings over the years and river bank replenishments mean the bridge now totals only 204.7 metres (672 ft) long.

Great set of images. I really like the old town in Lucerne. Regarding guilty consciences over the chocolate, my doctor told me that once the cocoa content rises above 60% in morphs from candy into medicine. It's good for you. Just sayin... BTW, my name is derived from that of the river. It was my great grandmother's maiden name.

Great set of truck pictures Richard. I really like seeing some of the foreign truck manufacturers that we don't get a peek at in the US, like the Leyland and the Octopus (?). What surprises me is that there are so many cab/over designs in Australia. They were popular in the US 50 years ago when there were limitations on overall tractor-trailer lengths. But I don't believe that was ever an issue down under, in fact just the opposite with your trains.

Keep them coming.

My compliments on capturing this unusual formation.


Good eye and good capture. I believe the phenomenon is called a sun dog.
