room with a view

I suppose you couldn't really call having major surgery in hospital a holiday. But I was near a window with a wonderful view of the sky, and at my request the curtains were never closed.

Day and night, night and day, in ever changing light conditions, I experimented with my compact Panasonic digital camera.  

Even when I couldn't get out of bed, or even sit up, I found I could still change the colour, the aspect ratio and the macro zoom so the same thing looked interestingly different.

It wasn't a holiday but I do have snaps to share.

    Wow! Surgery is a bit extreme to get out of weeding the garden. Hope you are well, on the mend, happy. Love the light.

    Lovely pictures, Catmint - the Epworth? I'm glad you didn't have to lie there staring at the ceiling, twiddling your thumbs!

    Well it's good to see you back. It's fantastic that you found a positive in your hospital stay. The sky photos are wonderful. I would have insisted on the curtains being drawn back too. I would get claustrophobic is I couldn't see outside. I hope you're home soon and that your recovery is going well.

    thank you dear cyberfriends for your good wishes. I'm home now. So pleased you liked the sky pics.

    dear j&c, you're right! extreme and effective way to get out of the weeding! LOL

    dear Faisal, Cabrini.

    dear Denis, yep - that's why I photographed the sky, I was looking for the silver lining!

    cheers, cm

    I am sorry you are laid up, but glad to know all is well. Obviously your trigger finger is still in fine shape, nice shots.

    Dear Wendy, I so value that comment - I too feel we're on the same wavelength and it's very satisfying having this ongoing wonderful cyberfriendship.

    Dear BS, what a lovely surprise, you appearing in cyberspace all of a sudden! You and family's wishes seem to be working, I'm slowly getting better. Thanks.

    Hi Alastair, I think that topic, what kind of camera suits, will be a blog post for me soon. I find it really interesting that you too find the compact most comfortable to use.

    Thanks Jess, so good to hear from you.

    cheers, cm
