Ever since my diagnosis of ALS/PLS two months ago, I haven't had any desire to get out with the camera. My entire world has exploded (or would that be imploded?), so I just haven't had any interest in amassing more images of local birds. I guess I felt like; "what's the point - I'm not going to be around to enjoy them."
But, given the longer life expectancy of my particular version of ALS (known as PLS), that has given me some hope, if indeed it doesn't morph into ALS like it could very well do at some point so I'm told.
Anyway, last Saturday I forced myself to get out to a local lake and got a few keepers. Here's one with the title: "Any room for me?"
Oh, and yes, I must still have the bug, because I keep thinking about that friggin' A1 to replace the ol' a9. Hard to justify though given the price.
Very sorry to read about your condition Colin. You are one of the few photographers i enjoy seeing photo's from on FM (and instagram). Always having an eye for composition, color and subject matter. I think we all wish you well (as far as that's possible) and let's hope that it will not become ALS.
Some Bee-Eater pictures I took two months ago in Kaiserstuhl, Germany. Time flies! Have been camping this spot for over a week for the shot with the landing approach, the second one with the bug was pure luck - something I love about photography, too! So many surprises.

Took the entire summer off to flyfish across the western US. Instead of having the 600mm GM on the A1 I had the 90mm macro attached for the majority of the time
Back east now and finally got out last week to chase fall warbler migration locally. Last Sunday I had 11 different species which might be the most I've ever had during fall

Thanks Doug. The salmon’s color surprised me when I first saw it. In the right light it almost seems unnatural.
When I first saw the thumbnail of your thread in the N&W forum, I really thought that the osprey caught a red sock that was discarded somehow. Excellent capture, for sure, Ed!

Thanks Joshua. I've seen comments on other online Kokanee postings calling BS on the red fish color. I guess seeing is beliving...
