We got home from Phoenix on Monday evening. I enjoyed my time in Phoenix with family, eating way too much, talked about old memories of our childhood and laughed a lot. Dad may have gotten bored a couple of times but mom sure did enjoy herself. Each morning after dad made breakfast we would go for coffee. This is the adobe wall outside the building and two shadows I found intriguing.
The cataract surgery went well. Was seeing 20/50 with my right eye 24 hours after surgery. Have an appointment today and see how much it improves. I may not need glasses except to read. That is strange as I’ve had to have corrective lenses since I was around 10 years old. I am scheduled to have the left eye operated on June 4th. As of now, I am quite excited.

Love this image! Simple, minimalist, clean. If I saw it I would have made it also, it’s just a compelling composition. Glad you found it. Happy to hear your surgery went well and hope for equally good results in June.

Thanks, Joe. Life is complicated as it is so finding the simple is fulfilling for me.

Glad you had such a good visit with family, Monte. I’m sure your post-surgery vision will continue to improve and good luck on the upcoming eye surgery. I agree with Joseph’s comment above, this is a compelling composition. It’s also very much southwest. 🙂

Yes, time with family was wonderful. As we age those times together become fewer and one day will just not be there. Enjoy them now as much as we can.
