@2uesday you were not foolish, quite the contrary. Many folks pay little to no attention to the way blind and visually impaired people navigate obstacles in their surroundings. Thanks for sharing your caring observations, there are many techniques folks dealing with vision problems employ every day that helps them overcome many challenges.
Your willingness to engage in the discussion, I believe will help many folks look at their surroundings just a bit differently. Pun intended.
Be well, Mike :)

2uesday I am familiar with several of the different tips for the red tipped blind person’s cane. The thing we need to keep in mind. With one of the larger tips or rollers attached to the tip of the cane. The blind person cane becomes less sensitive to tactile clues, cracks in the sidewalk etc.
For instance, have you noticed the area located where the sidewalk meets a busy intersection, or in many cases around government buildings, the entrance to a parking lot, brightly colored with a bunch of raised dots providing both visual clue for sighted people, and a tactile clue for the visually impaired?
Thanks for drawing attention to the many different ways people use their blind cane to find their way around.
Make it a great day, Mike :)

Mike, I know, I love these flats, the adornment on the toe, the bow, these are hands down the most amazing flats I've ever seen. I have mine ordered. The brand is amazing you can literally wear these flats for years and years till your wear the soles off them. Great quality and comfort in one drop dead gorgeous flat. :) Don't get me started on shoes ....

Mike, Glad you found this and it is of good use to you. Look forward to seeing stunning images in your articles.

You and I have so much in common. It was great to read your wizzography. My first love is music, I love writing lyrics. I too am a naturist to as good a degree to which life allows these days. Love your cat, Tiggy is perfect so glad you took her in for your own. Sure she will prove to be an amazing friend. I'm glad you're here, I know we will see bright things in our future as we keep on keepin on. :)K

Great article, I went out hunting mushrooms with my aunt when I was a kid. It was a ritual. She has such a good eye for spotting mushrooms in the woods. My favorites are the Morel Mushrooms. They are so delicious. We soak them in salt water, drain them, dredge them in an egg wash and flour them only to drop them in the deep fryer. OH SO DELICIOUS! Great Wizz, gonna share this jewel. It's great to have you here. :)K

My wife loves flats, she runs all day long not to mention after work. I know she's going to love the first pair of black Libby Edelman flats, the metro metal feature on the toe is fantastic. Thanks Katie

I was hoping she'd have some music online :-)

So that mushroom we all know from children's books is hallucinogenic and called fly agaric. Interesting article! I like the mushroom ketchup idea as well!

You're very welcome. I'm trying to add into these articles everything that I'm learning. Part of it is journal/notes for myself, but part is because I know what it's like to be starting out here. You're never sure who is helping out and who is trampling on your fingers, as you try to get a lift up onto the ledge.

Those following me into the breech will know precisely what I'm learning, when I'm learning it and how it all worked out. What I will say is that Wizzley is a wonderful place to be, especially right now. There's a lot of enthusiasm and kindness behind the scenes, as the site grows towards its potential.

Welcome aboard!

Jo, Thanks for this article. I've started, stopped, started and stopped again with Wizzley. I'm ready to go again, inspired by all your helpful tips and insight. Wizzley looks great these days. Thanks for the British angle too- I used to struggle with the sales side but, heck, our time is money, so let's go!

Keep searching and you are sure to find some unmistakable edible ones you can identify with your book. Good luck finding them and thanks for commenting!

I find mushrooms fascinating - and delicious. Although I love to photograph them (and was doing so recently) I would never trust myself to choose the correct ones to eat. I have a book to refer to and it seems that all the wild mushrooms I find are not edible anyway!

Thanks for your comments, Sheilamarie and Sheri! There's certainly a lot to learn!
