Hello, to all my dear readers. I am answering your call to resume posting here. I was overwhelmed with notes and comments of good wishes. I hadn’t realized how many people really read my posts regularly. Thanks very much to all so very much. Does this mean I have to return the gifts? Gee, I really like the car.
So, I am glad to be back, writing my “whimiscal” posts, as dear reader Michelle Edwards put it.. I really do enjoying writing, especially when I feel healthy and happy.
The weather has been a bit on the nasty side the past few days here in San Angelo, but I have tried to not let that stop me. This photo that I am featuring in this comeback post is a Red-tailed Hawk, that I photographed during a faint, cold mist. Fortunately my long lens has a rain hood.
We, Ann and I, were driving out near Twin Buttes Reservoir when off to the left was the hawk sitting on a dead tree branch. I was able to maneuver the car off the road into position for a good photo. He was about 150 yards away. I thought I was somewhat hidden behind some brush, but apparently he, with his magnificent keen vision picked me out. I got off a couple of exposures as he perched, but then he decided to leave the building. I quickly continued shooting and got this photo as he push off. I hope you like it.

Referring to the rehab the mentioned above, I will explain. As you know I have been diagnosedd with Pulmonary Fibrosis. I have had problems with getting short winded when doing physical activity. The rehab involves going to Shannon Pulmonary Clinic three times a week, and using their workout machines. A regimen of twelve weeks, of which I have four weeks left. They are designed to help me control my breathing and strengthen my lungs. The trainers are great, I haven’t fallen off the machines yet, and I am feeling much improvement.
So, I will end this post with that. I will try to write more posts at least one per week, perhaps more often. I am taking all of this one day at a time.
By the way, I have been adding new photos to my gallery. I would appreciate any purchases that you might make. Click this link, https://bobzeller.wordpress.com/photo-album-guide. Or click the button at the top of this page. You can always contact me at bobzeller@pobox.com for more information.
Now I need to see if I can return that car by Priority Mail. 🙂
HAPPY BIRDING!!
