Day 13 of 365!

Not much opportunity for picture taking today!  The lovely husband & I spent the day at the VA Hospital.  If you've never been to the VA, let me fill you in.  There is lots of trying to find where you are going because ours is a maze, lots of checking in, lots of waiting with older men who love sharing interesting stories, lots of getting out your identification card, lots of crowded elevators...I could go on and on.  As much as I gripe about going there, I must admit, the people are super nice.

Today I met a man who suffered with several blind spots for many, many years.  Well today, he received a new pair of glasses with prisms in them, so now he can see so much better, and he was just tickled pink about it, rightfully so.  He was having a hard time getting used to them, which resulted in an even harder time steering his wheelchair.  We offered to help him, but he declined.  But he did enjoy sharing his story with us, and I enjoyed listening, even if it was in a crowded hallway and people were giving us dirty looks as they tried to squeeze by us! :)


Anyway, we had to get back home quickly, because Michael has to work tonight.  So what did I do?  I took my pictures while we drove down the road, so please excuse the blurriness!

I'm not that big of a fan of this photo, but it'll due for now.  It didn't really get the effect I was going for.



This final photo was inspired by Eah Photography.  Mine is no where near as good as hers, but I liked the idea of it.  I'm going to have to try to do a redo, where I'm stationary, and not in a moving car...
