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.
Cooper's Hawk
Barred Owl
Northern Shoveler
Anna's Hummingbird
Common Goldeneye (from this morning)

My balance, walking, and ability to get up from being on the ground is a little bit worse, but I plan on hitting the shutter as long as I can.
