Playing with exposure

A nice photo from my camping trip.  I was playing with exposure times trying to capture the stars.  I succeeded.

Recovery

Well, I had a hysterectomy.  After a trip to Colorado I had major surgery.  The trip to Colorado was wonderful by the way.  I camped at Carter Knolls, at Carter Lake in Larimer county.  The only problem with this was that I wasn't aware that Carter Knolls is the windiest campground in their camping system.  Which meant that my friend and I had to share his tent.  Which was smaller than my tent.  It had a much lower profile and managed to survive the wind.  Mine would have snapped.  Anyway, it's been two weeks since my surgery and I'm doing well.  My mental outlook has been more positive than it had in a long time.  If you can swing one I recommend it highly.  The downside is the hot flashes but it's a small price to pay for not being on an emotional rollercoaster from hormones.  And the huge plus is that they biopsied it and my cervix and uterus were full of precancerous cells.  So, bullet dodged.
