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.

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.

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.

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!

This is about as good as it gets for me!

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

And to think that it was this good without any post-processing/photoshop! That amazed me.
