Hang in there, Gordon, as you and your doctor try to sort out your health situation and figure out what is the best next step for you.... I am sure that this is very frustrating for you, especially if there are a lot of days when you just don't feel well and can't do much of anything.
That bird in the first photo is a mystery to me, too -- you were lucky to be able to snag a photo of him (or her)! In the second shot, your little dove looks so sweet sitting there on the nest.....
Yes, for too many of us, it's easy enough to feel that we should dismiss one's own issues by saying that for someone else, things are worse, etc., etc., but the reality is that right now YOU are living with your particular situation and, yes, it is darned uncomfortable and on a daily basis, wearing on you, not to mention the further complication of the unpredictability of it all as well. You're not whining, Gordon; you're just expressing some understandable frustration! Hang in there.....
The tail on that grey bird is rather distinctive; I wonder if it is a way to get a handle on the identity? I don't have a book about birds but sometimes I've gone into Google and typed what identifying characteristics I had noticed about a bird, a flower, an animal, whatever, and have gotten some hits back with options which have helped me to rule out or to think, "yeah, maybe that's it!" when seeing a photo or description.....
Great work with your long guns Love the details even cropped - can see the insect in the beak
That Voightlander lens is a thing of beauty, regardless of the images it produces! I have heard good things about the Fuji system; I somehow got the idea that Pentax isn’t doing so well these days, so maybe it’s not a good idea to invest too heavily in it?
Absolutely nothing wrong with that shot of your Fuji—sharp and exquisitely exposed.
