Wonderful photos, Don.
-The sunrise manages to be both intensely vivid yet serene. The Lake Louise photo is superb great composition, lovely colors, and the small red accents make the photo even better. And the church photo is topnotch. (I find night photos very difficult, but you seem to have mastered them.)
MFI, the ringneck is beautiful - well done.
Hi Rich.
MFI, I think most of us older folks are in the same boat. I remember from one of my biology classes reading that on average our bodies reach their peak condition at around age 25; it's all downhill after that. For me that means 51 years of deterioration: bad back, bad knees, bad hips, and worsening vision (most recently due to cataracts). I had to choose a new Primary Care Physician and am hoping he will quickly give me referrals for: 1) a cataract consultation followed by surgery; 2) a back specialist to alleviate my constant back pain; 3) a cardiologist just to make sure I'm OK there; and after these will be 4) an arthritis specialist; 5) a neurologist for hand tremors; and finally 6) a hearing specialist since I've not had my hearing assessed in over 60 years.
The list keeps growing. Each time I wake up, I wonder which body part the most will hurt that day. But at least I'm still waking up, which in most cases is better than the alternative.
I too am concerned about Lorell; I noticed that she hasn't posted on Flickr in 4 weeks. Somewhere I have her email address and I hope she won't mind if I email her to see if she's OK.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
