On the mend, out the window.

[bsinc1962]

I'm moving around quite a bit better since the surgery but not quite good enough to go for a hike yet. I was joking to a friend that I'll just have to sit on the sun porch and let the wildlife come to me in the meanwhile.
I guess the critters missed me out there and on Sunday morning they paid me a visit.

First up a Mule Deer buck at the front of the house.

Not too long after that a pair of Bobcats at the back of the house.

This one is pretty lousy as the glass messed with my focus but a soft photo is better than no photo. (I guess).

Great to have you back! Looks like you lost nothing while under the knife!

But I did lose. The soft diet has taken away 10lbs of ballast so far. Lol

I was down 40+ pounds after my surgery. A lot has found its way back.
Nice set of photos. We don’t get many kitties that big down here

Thanks, our Bobcats around here get to be around 30 lbs.

Good report that you’re feeling better. Isn’t there a shooting thru pane glass setting for the D5.... Nice set of Kitty photos.

So nice to have friends drop by for a visit. All great shots, but you gotta love the bobcats though - a close cousin to our Canadian Lynx.

Hope you're on the mend, Bill. Nice of the critters to be so obliging. Nice shots. The pose, surroundings, BG, everything about the mule deer shot is excellent. Wonder if the grey face is indicative of age? No issues with focus on momma cat. Nice portrait.

I think that's the D6 that has that setting.

Thanks, it's been a while since some have come through. I was getting concerned that the local trappers got to them so seeing a small family makes me happy.

Thanks Dan. Our local Muley population is quite strong and we live on the migration route. It's not uncommon to have a couple dozen of them in the yard.

Welcome, back!!!! And what a stunning mule deer shot! Nice pose and lovely background! And a feline visit, too! Not only will you feel better after this, but you'll be trim and ready for hiking also!

Excellent. Where I live a squirrel would be the best I could get.

Glad you're feeling better and back at it Bill, what a sight to see out your window. Great job.

Thanks Karen. I got out today for a bit of a walk and everything feels pretty good.

Thanks Allan. Yeah but knowing you it will be the best Squirrel picture one could hope for.

Glad you're feeling better and back at it Bill, what a sight to see out your window. Great job.

Thanks Louie. I might have to hang out here more often.

Great shots and great news, Bill. I love that muley shot!

 

[gchappel]

Wow, great window!!
I think I told you I had a very good friend that had the same type surgery about 10 days ago.
He is not up to doing what you are. Keep up the good work.
At the same time, take it easy. You can not rush healing

Thanks. I saw another really nice Muley buck today but I would have had to hike to it so it'll have to wait until next time.

Thanks Gary. My abdomen from all the incisions is still where most of my tenderness is coming from. I couldn't do a sit up right now if my life depended on it.

So nice to hear you are doing well. Lucky you to have all those amazing critters outside your window to watch while you recover!! Keep sharing!!

Beautiful set. It's nice to be able to take these photos right at home.

Thanks Terri. I enjoy them, the Deer are my wife's nemesis because of what they do to her garden.
