The last 2-3 months have been insane, and have prevented me from getting out with the camera. My diagnosis of ALS last July forced us to sell our beloved home (not wheelchair friendly), find, buy and move to a townhouse, and shut down my business of 28 years. Every day has been a marathon, and I put myself in the gutter, to a level of exhaustion and fatigue that I’ve never felt before, and I’ve been surprised at how long it's taking me to come out of it. The gas tank was completely empty I guess.
I’ve started to feel a little better in the last week, so got out with the camera a bit; here’s some recent snaps.
A most excellent set, Colin. Sorry to hear about your ALS, and your bout with exhaustion. Fortunately, your creativity and talent have not slipped at all.

Wonderful set! That Anna's picture really is exceptional, I've been hoping to spot a nest somewhere but even if I did I likely lack your skills and my picture will be far worse.
Good that you've found something to look forward to with all the adversity, keep clicking as long as you can!
Colin, I remember your original post about ALS and am so glad to see that you are able to get out an photograph. If these are just grab shots, I want to see some of your really good ones. I just returned from Yellowstone last week after being prodded to get off my but and shoot. I lost my best shooting buddy, my brother "Benzeen" to Covid in December so have found it difficult to make myself get. out. I am sure that just getting out and doing what you love is one of the best therapies you can have. I wish you the best.

Another fantastic set Colin! So great to hear you got a chance to get back out there clicking. And you certainly didn't disappoint with this amazing set.
Always enjoy your images Colin. Great to see you back in the game.
