Swallowtail On Rose

Thanks for all your well wishes for my eye surgery. It seems to have gone well though my eyes are still scratchy and somewhat blurry. The most interesting part of it it that the day when one was done and the other wasn't yet, the difference in WB that I saw between the two eyes was amazing. I had no idea that I've been seeing the world through a warmer lens. I guess it makes sense that cataracts would make the world a more cloudy white balance. I guess I will need to reset the diopter on my camera too...though I don't yet feel ready to do that. I took this photo before the surgeries.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Everyone talks about their eyes being so sensitive to light after cataract surgery!

So glad to hear that you came through your surgeries okay. People tell me that the results are amazing. Mine are still blooming I guess. One surgeon was rearing to go. But I went to another and they said that I still see way too well to get operated on yet. And I can't decide whether to have them fix the near or the far. Likely, the far. How about you?

Meanwhile, your photo is just lovely. Such detail and color. What good fortune to have the butterfly land on such an extravagantly colored rose. Fav.

@jgpittenger - Sorry to hear of your glaucoma. My dad had that for many years. The eye drops always kept it in check though. Hope they do the same for you.

So glad to hear that surgery went well. Fascinating, how perception seems to be reality. Never considered the white balance in my eyes! :)
