    Minor Back Surgery

    I am heading out to Dallas Tx for minor back surgery to take some scar tissue off of a nerve. You may have seen the procedure advertised on TV. The one where a small incisional is made and recovery time is only a day or two.
    I am driving out and leaving early to site see and taking the E-M1. But this shot was taken in town today.
    E-M1, 70-300mm.
