Ducks Relaxing

Mallards


Although I don't have anything clever this week for Wild Bird Wednesday, I want to support the linkup by posting something. All I've got is mallard ducks, a common species around here.


I am still struggling with my vision, although it has been seven weeks since cataract surgery. I don’t see as clearly as I used to, and my right eye gets strained from working extra hard to make up for the blur in my left eye. I had side-effects from the prescription eyedrops and stopped taking them. I have a call in to the doctor’s office. 

Meanwhile, I depend on my phone’s camera to focus for me. It seems that it gets thrown off sometimes by mist rising from water, or perhaps from the glare. I am also concerned that I might be making pictures too bright or too dark because right now, everything seems super-bright to me.

  1. Linda while you can rest your eyes.
    Vision after cataract surgery comes slowly,
    I get the impression.
    Your ducks are beautiful as they rest!
    Have a nice day!

  3. ...on the surface they look calm, underwater they are paddling like crazy.

  4. So sorry your vision hasn't cleared up after cataract surgery. I had to get different glasses after mine...and was frustrated by several months of that blurred vision. Hope you get a good answer soon. Love the mallards.

  5. Nothing wrong with posting a pic of mallard ducks.

    I hope you get your vision straightened out in a timely manner.

  6. The Mallards are fine and so are your pictures. I hope you are getting the eye problems solved by now.
