You know, it's your body's way of telling you to slow down. You're always running at a high lope and this illness interlude was a way to make you take some time off. Not fun, I'm sure, but probably much needed. When is your birthday? You're a Gemini?! That explains the multiple personalities! (So am I -- a Gemini, that is.) Amazing photos once again! Are you sure you're taking these and not some high-paid professional photographer from the Audubon Society? Seriously, you're amazing. Melissa Miles,

I agree with Cid, it is time for you to recharge and listen to what Nature AND your body are telling you. Listen to both these entities and you will thrive. We have an expression: Your body is writing checks it can't cash. Not a bad credo. Annie Stunning detail to these pictures.

The birds in my garden are also highly active right now and one has made a neat little nest in one of my hanging baskets. I don't know which bird it belongs to but I suspect a robin. Somewhere there has to be a wren's nest since I see them all the time but I've never caught one 'at home'. Many years ago I remember going to London for all the usual sights and shops but I remember most the park where you could feed the local sparrows by holding your hand out with some seeds. Delightful and straight out of Mary Poppins! Cid Miles,

…. and to think Rod was going to make you a glute free cake…. presumably he feels you are already blessed in the glute department :)

I know I move about too much, walking and covering too much distance - taking the time to stand and look reveals a great deal more Great post and pleased you're recovering Best Rod Miles,

I think there’s a huge amount going on and the key to seeing it is to stop and look.
