the nutcracker

not the ballet but the real nutcracker. this also doubles as crab legs cracker or breaking open lobster claws. i'm sure there are other uses for it, but i haven't discovered them yet. :-)

i had vertigo when i woke up this morning, but it has tapered off some. if i try to look sideways or bend my head down, everything spins around. if i stay still just looking straight ahead, i get a headache. i checked my blood pressure, it's normal. and if i stare at the screen for long, i yawn and my head spins. i can't lie down as then i feel like i'm floating and the more it is unpleasant. i try to think and i get a headache. i'll see now if eating ice cream would do me some good.

thank you for your visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

The vertigo and headaches sound worrisome to me. Do have it checked out if it persists. The nutcracker shot is great, but take care of yourself first.

[Sally Ings]

Great set up. The vertigo etc sounds horrid. I hope you are able to get it sorted soon. Take care of yourself my friend

[Brigette]

oh very nice shot and they look like brazil nuts! My fav! I hope things improve for you very soon x

[Maggiemae]

This looks so shiny that it must be new! Gives great and interesting results from that shininess!

Lovely composition and focus

[Bill Fenske]

I do hope you feel better soon. Excellent shallow dof and reflections. That looks dangerous.

What a wonderful shot of your multipurpose cracker. I hope you are feeling better soon, as I know what you are experiencing and it's no fun!
I'm positive the ice cream will help a lot.

If you woke up with vertigo you did a magnificent job composing this photograph! Excellent composition, POV, and execution! Ice cream would definitely help anything that is wrong with you but I hope by now it is not necessary! Take care of yourself, girlfriend!

[KWind]

Wonderful! I hope you're feeling better!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav. Well done. Hope you feel better today.

That is a serious nutcracker! And so is the vertigo. It sounds awful! Isn't there anything you can do? Or is it something you have to let pass on its own? Wish I could make it go away!
