Ellie Sparkles
Just playing around with the features in my camera.
Pretty cool!
I'm having fun learning new things about this camera.
Please enjoy the star filter photos!
Hope all is well with everyone...

This is my favorite. Star filter combined with lens flare, makes it interesting.

In my down time....
I had my surgery. Am supposed to keep off my feet as much as possible.
Again, RV's make great recovery rooms!
In my downtime, I've decided to learn more about my camera.
A Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ70. It's a super zoom camera! You can shoot the moon with this camera.

Shot at full digital zoom.
The blood moon
Note the craters!
I love this camera! I'm learning more & more about it.
You know what? Maybe I already shared these moon pics? I don't recall. If so, please forgive me!
Today, I learned how to do One Point Color. It's fun! Need to take better photos of the flowers though. The winds were blowing them around. I'm also learning how to use my filters & lens hoods. This is so much fun!
(keeps me away from the potato chips too)
Yes, this is a custom hood on this truck.
This is fun! Maybe once I'm better, I can do a bit of traveling & do some photos & cool videos of places!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
See, one can still find things to do while in down time too. :-)
As far as my healing goes. Had a bandage change last Wednesday. The doc shot my foot with a steroid to stunt the healing somewhat so we can try to prevent as much scar tissue as possible. Yep, that's been the problem. Scar tissue keeps forming, which keeps bringing the Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome back.
Enough already huh?!
Oh & did I mention I also have a broken finger?
:::Sigh:::
Another 3 weeks in the finger splint - at least....
At least it's my little finger on my right hand. Sure, I make more typos now, but all in all, it's not that much of a problem.
Thank goodness.

Happy Easter & an update
Happy Easter everyone - I hope ya'll have had a wonderful day!
Weather has been gorgeous. I'm going to hate it when it heats up & I'll have to close the RV windows up to use the air conditioner for another season. It's been nice to sit on my sofa, by my big window, window open, breezes flowing through all day.
I did have my surgery on Wednesday.
The recovery in the recovery room was awful. My foot kept going into spasms, the really nice nurse kept hitting my IV with more morphine. It was so painful that tears came to my eyes. The nurse was great! In fact, the entire staff there were great. Nice people, everyone in smiles, everyone willing to answer questions & really listen to you. They ask a whole slew of questions before surgery. One of the questions was "Do you have dentures"? My answer, YES!! Wait, what in the hell am I saying??!!! I don't have dentures! The girl laughed & said people do that all the time.
The ride home was a bit rough. As you can imagine, I had hallucinations the whole way home. I kept drifting in & out of consciousness, at one point, I could have sworn there were piles & piles of shoes at my feet on the floorboard of the car?? Each time I slipped away, I had hallucinations of piles of stuff! Piles of shoes, piles of clothes, piles of this & that each time. It was very weird.
And my driver decided to run errands along the route back to my RV. I just wanted to get home....she should have done those errands on the way to pick me up. I was miserable. Foot could not be propped in her car, it was swelling & throbbing & I had to sit there at each place she stopped & endure it all. Was soooo glad to finally make it back to my RV & she ran my dogs for me when we got back. Was grateful for that.
I still say RV's are the BEST recovery rooms!!! My friend was surprised & said my RV makes a good walker for me & it does. I grab this drawer, this door handle, the stove, etc to move around with. Could not put any weight on my foot the first couple of days & have to use a walker outside. I use a cane inside now. As long as I have the boot on, I can now walk around with the assistance of those devices.
I want some easter candy or some chocolate, or some ice cream....boohoo. Have nothing like that in here outside a jar of Nutella & nothing to dip into it. Bummer. I need a trip to the store. Have been mostly eating cereal as I've not been able to eat much. I guess my craving for sweets means my appetite is coming back?
Anyhow, again, I hope all is well with everyone & that ya'll have had a wonderful day!
