I think I may need to wear my glasses full time. I filled my prescription last year at about this time, after holding onto it for a full year before that. Denial, anyone? So I've worn them the past year, for reading only at first, then for eating, too. Lately I've found myself uncomfortable if I don't put them on shortly after I rise in the morning. However, since I don't need them to drive I've been able to delude myself into believing that I don't "really" wear glasses. But an incident this past week has brought me ungracefully into unavoidable reality. Observe.
My son is a budding birdwatcher so I am always on the look out for a cool new sighting in our neighborhood. A couple of days ago I was sure that I had spotted a great one on our neighbor's roof, first thing in the morning, while I was emptying the trash. I raced into my house to grab the camera and shoot it before it flew away. I hurriedly threw on the the telephoto lens so I could capture it from our porch. Click. I got it! The first picture below is pretty much what I saw with my naked eye, some sort of giant mockingbird,---standing very still.
This is what I saw when I put on my glasses and zoomed in on the viewfinder....
