PESO: Birds galore
An interesting scene on the far bank of Engelhard Dam, Kruger Park (about 100m distant). Visible are Spoonbills, White Faces Ducks & a pair of Yelliowbilled Storks. Water Hyacinth also in evidence. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/32751595717/ K5 & HD 55-300 cropped.

Re: OT : annsan's diagnosis and a photo note too
I'm glad to hear the diagnosis is no worse than it is and something manageable. It's always good to have our work recognized as something special, especially when that recognition takes a tangible form ($$$).

My mother had it, I should not have been surprised. Doc put me on once-a-week alendronate sodium (the generic of Fosamax). Once a week is fine with me and the pills are cheap.. I put the little blister tab in my 7 day pill thingy -in place of- my vitamins and BP pill . The instructions for proper usage are both clear and a bit scary if you mess up so I'm being very careful . IF any of you have any tips about good stuff to do for osteoporosis pain , I'll take it please. I"m taking Naproxin twice a day in double the over the counter dose and it brougnt down the pain from excruciating lumbar and elft leg hurt to achy frequently but not consistently.. I'm moving a lot.. but need a cane to do so. Other than the osteo which enough people have assured me is manageable if you are careful and eat properly (and don't fall down!) , my check up with the new doc was filled with godl stars. Lungs, cardio, cholesterol (down 60 points from 2017) . 'you're goona live forever, but you ahve to take these pills". The new doc is 80 years old himself.

I've found a CURA_HEAT pad on my lower back to be helpful to keep the pain at bay most of the time. The photo note, which will not be news to you who are also facebook friends, is that a photo of mine you have surely all seen before is now in a film and I got paid a fair amount for film makers "single use" It also appeared in Sign Language, in my Back in the day calendar, and in Ada Calhoun's book about the esat village 'St Marks is Dead" So if you happen to be going to the Tribeca film festival and you happen to have chosen to see the Abel Ferrara documentary "the Projectionist" and you are not blinking at the wrong time , you will see this photo of mine, as well as my name zipping by in the credits .. https://annsan.smugmug.com/On-the-Road-or-On-Foot/New-York-City-back-in-the-day/i-MS6knBX/A I was first approached by the film company last sumemr about this - they finally ponied up in paypal last month (no, they didn't get the photo until they paid for it) when the film got accepted for the festival. Brian, I'll try to find a tree or two today for the PUG.. Still don't feel much like chatting.. everything is an effort - and yet now and then I can walk a city block or two very slowly. not to the walker stage yet, thank goodness, and hopefully proper PT and drugs will keep me upright more ofeten than not ann -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

It might be warm enough in the city but Im about 30 miles north in a suburban/rural area. And our recent winters have been very cold.

OT: We're on the road again!
This shot has no particular artistic merit. It is with great relief after a couple of weeks toil & sweat that the car is safely back on the road. Not an expensive repair job but very time consuming. The culprit was a seized cam belt tension pulley bearing which led to a melted cam belt. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/33834436858/ Alan C -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
