Frosty Photos I've been playing with my new camera and the frosty garden has given me some fun subject matter. It also shows that I have a lot of weeding and cleaning to do before the snow sets in
Does anyone else have some to share? I know we've done this before with pets. No subject limits here, just whatever makes you smile. Figured we all needed a bit of that right now.
Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things. Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!
Love the photos Katie. :thumpup: Thanks for sharing honey!

The crispness of the photos is amazing. What kind of a camera are you using?
I haven't taken the time to figure out how to post pics here. I have some really nice pictures that I took when I was in Germany which are beautiful. My avatar is one of them
I'll have to take some time to learn how to post them.
Disc Bulge C4/C5, Disc Degeneration T11/T12, Bi-Lateral tears L5/S1, Diagnosed w/ Lumbar Disc Derangement w/ Radiculopaphy. Treatment: IDET, Percutaneous Discectomy, SI Joint Injection, Facet Block. All failed. Empire BC/BS Denied Coverage for ADR-lost all of my appeals. MVP also denied coverage.
Anterior/Posterior Fusion L5/S1 -1/20/09 - I'm not 100% but I'll take the 85%! When the weather co-operates, it's 95% woohoo!
Kathy, I wish I was young and gorgeous like you areCindylou, you always make me feel so good, until I compare photos ;-) You are aging so much more gracefully than I!
Thanks for all the complements, but I didn't do anything except record the beauty out there.
Nairek, it's a Nikon D60. I wanted the D40 but they have been discontinued, and the ones that were even better were way out of my price range. It has a great macro setting on it, and it has auto-focus, so all I have to do is point, wait till it beeps, and press the button
I have a pretty old telephoto that I use on it too, but it's manual everything. I have to 'bracket' most of the pictures, going up and down a few f-stops to get the exposure correct. It's great that I can check the mistakes and delete them as needed. If I get enough art sales, I will invest in a new auto lens but for now, I'm just thrilled to have the camera.
I take all my own reference shots for painting, and my pup pulled my old 35mm off the top shelf last year, and it wasn't worth repairing. It was a cold, dark time without a camera for awhile!
Nairek, all you have to do is upload your photos off your computer onto another 'sharing' site. I use Webshots, but I think Justin and others here use Photobucket. They all have a function that lets you chose the size of the picture you are sending on here. I won't say that's it's as easy as pie, because I screwed it up a few times before getting it right but lots here will help if you need it.
