I had cataract surgery last Thursday and didn’t think I’d be able to go photographing this weekend. But I could see remarkably well this morning, so I rode over to MINWR with Kevin M. and Kevin K.
It turned out to be a lovely day. There was more color in the sunrise than I expected, and after dawn we found some photogenic fog / mist.

In addition to the White Pelicans, watching a skimming Black Skimmer was another highlight. Kevin K. even managed to photograph it with a fish in its mouth. The Visitors Center bird feeder was active too. We saw Catbirds, several Painted Buntings (both male and female) and a White-throated Chipping Sparrow (a life bird for me!).

I enjoyed trying out my refurbished eyes today. It’s amazing what modern medicine can do!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Now – go make some photos!

Love the pelicans. Yes, great to be living in an era of digital photography AND cataract operations!
Love seeing your images and am glad that your eye surgery was a success! Congratulations on both!
Thank you Rhona and Dorothy. The pelicans were a treat.
It’ll be interesting to see if my “new” eyes affect my photography in some way.

Ed…. I think you will find that colors are a lot more vibrant. That was my experience.
Hi Jim,
I think that will be good! Did you notice it right away or did it take a while?
