I have not been super active on the list. I threw my back out working on the
house at the end of March. I could barely walk around for 3 weeks. I eventually
could ride my bike and that seems to be helping my back a lot. The Dr wanted to
fuse L4-L5 but now, with biking, I'm much better. I figure as long as I am
getting better, I'll avoid surgery. So far no more pain.
Also, after 4 years from my wife's death I now have a new relationship.
Something I did not think would happen. Fortunately she is also a PT and has
taught me 'neutral spine position." I still plan to sell and move, but now I
have a new destination.
Here in AZ the Palo Verde trees have been in bloom. The bees are quite happy
and thinking of Jim Nichols and his Buddleia bush, I attempted some bee shots
with manual focus lens (110 CV) and not very successful. I'll probably never
see bees again and not think of Jim. I'll have to try a different lens. But did
take these shots of the flowers (stacked in helicon):
The Palo Verde flowers the bees love:

and after the flowers fall to the ground:

I'd show a bee shot but the large focus throw of the 110mm lens makes it tricky
to catch fast moving bees in focus. I'm not up to Jim's level of patience
either.
