5. Lovely!

I saw a beautiful moon surrounded by breaking clouds from the hurricane.

I wanted to take a shot of it but I'm dealing with a weird vitreous detachment and I'm just not taking pictures until it goes away. It's like there's a gnat squashed on the right lens of my glasses and it sort of slides around some but it's near the center of my view. Hard to get a clear focus. So I'll wait.

8. Waiting isn't easy, but when it comes to your health and your vision, well! Good idea, my dear 2naSalit.

I'm glad you like my photo.

Your turn will come!

15. Sounds like a new floater.

Please get it checked it out. Opthmalogists say you should always let them know about new floaters. It could be a sign of bigger problems.

22. Did that...

On Friday. It freaked me right out so I made an appointment for the soonest available slot. According to the pros, I just have to wait this one out and it's not serious.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

23. Glad to hear it's not serious.

[2naSalit]

24. Thanks.

On top of it all I got an eye exam and was told my eyes are actually in good shape for my age and my vision has not decreased by much at all since the last exam of that type five years ago so I really have no issues except the effect of that which resembles a squished gnat on my glasses lens.

Patience, I'll have to remain stocked up on that stuff!

6. A perfect crescent.

And the “Moon in Velvet” is such an expressive caption.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thanks very much, my dear 3catwoman3!

This is about as good as it gets for me!

I wanted a more interesting caption than just "Moon."

7. That's a beautiful photo Peggy, it looks like a painting...I would frame it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thank you so much, my dear Jack-o-Lantern! I like it a lot too.

I might turn it into my holiday card for this year. We'll see.
