Don, I worry about gatherings, I hope you do not come down with anything serious....we are all tired of this covid/flu mess....maybe 2023 will bring some good news for all of us.....
Lorell, since I can't do a lot of walking because of really bad knees, painful back, Dr suggested swimming....but I always hated swimming pools...can't bring myself to join the Y. Really wonderful shot of the trains, great perspective and I love the lighting.
Dave, seems like you have been very sick a lot this year.....I hope you can improve your immunity and get past all of it....I like your shot of the geese, reminds me of one I took a long time ago....the processing gives it a dreamy look....well done.
I took a semester of photography way back in the 70's, I even thought of starting a darkroom in my bathroom at some point....got the enlarger (rusting in the attic somewhere) and then I dropped my 35mm camera down the side of a mountain. After that I could not afford to replace it, had 2 kids, worked on a farm.....did not take many photos....then around 2004 got my first digital camera....used....I looked online and found WC....I was SO nervous to post ....unfortunately I lost my images from 2004 to 2006 when computer crashed.....big lesson in doing back ups!! Eventually got up enough nerve to post to WC....I enjoyed learning new things and doing challenges....it was really my biggest hobby. I was asked many times to start doing weddings, but I never wanted to do it professionally, too much stress and did not have the right equipment and was not good enough......so it's been my favorite hobby ever since...but lately, it's been an effort to go out and take photos....over the years I have shot almost everything within 50 miles of me....so it's hard to get motivated to find new opportunites....oh, well.....I can enjoy your photos....and every once in a while chime in....
