Yes, they do. But I'm trying to grab onto as many as I can of those things, for my own self!Bev Sampson said:"""whatever I'm doing, that in 7 months I will have lived 80 years in this old world"""
Wonderful, Mary. I just passed 70. Sure wish digital existed when I was young. The youth have so many new innovations to use and to anticipate for the future
Well, I hope so, too. Although I knew you were planning another trip down there this fall, I didn't realize that you were going to stay all winter.""" And, don't worry, Bev--winter is coming, and I bet you could photograph some great winter trees on a golf course, also."""
Great idea, Mary, but we are leaving for FL Nov 17th. We pack up our fifthwheel and our four cats and head south to capture the birds. I hope there is a better bird representation at Sannibel this year than last.
I think that's perfectly wonderful.
Do what you love! I can't get back up from the floor or the ground either, without something to hold onto and sort of climb back up, using my arms.I love being retired and thus having the time to devote to my lifelong hobby. However, the restrictions that come with being older are that I cannot keep up with the guys in my photo club anymore. Carrying the heavy equipment from site to site is exhausting and flares the asthma but I do it anyway pausing only to use my inhaler. If I get down on my tummy to photograph the ground level birds, I can't get up again. lol
Believe me, I am very careful not too fall or to sit down on too low a chair.
While I was walking at Radnor, essentially alone because my nephew and my sister had gone on ahead, I needed to re-tie my shoe. I looked for a sloping bank and finally found one with a convenient fallen log. It served, and I got back up after only two tries, holding onto the stems of the bushes beside me.
However, the log was wet, and I went around with a damp seat to my slacks for awhile. Was worth it. Kept my footing safe with secured shoe-laces, and let me enjoy the rest of my walk.
But, what a great idea to photograph those golf course trees with ice and snow. Maybe someone else on this forum will do exactly that and post the images.
Maybe they will.
We haven't had any snow in Tennessee in two years, and then it was just a little skip on Christmas Eve morning. I made some pics of it with my G2, looking out from my porch to the street.
I will not be unhappy if Tennessee never has any more snow.
