Stuck at Home

In the two weeks after I came home from the hospital I was still getting infusions of antibiotics, still on anti-seizure medication that makes me very sleepy (resulting in one or two long naps a day), with balance still not good and with some extremely tight neck muscles resulting in occasional painful spasms. A fall resulting in a traumatic brain injury and a subsequent blood infection of unknown origin is not a good thing to have.

But I could walk about 1,000 feet down our road and back as long as I had company, I could walk or sit in the yard with my camera taking photos of wildflowers, fungi and the critters that visited, a few really small subjects brought out the macro lens.

Here they are, two weeks worth of photos from my cameras while I was recuperating at home –

 
























All of the photos were taken within 50 feet of the house, some through the kitchen window, but I'm eager to get out in the forest where I've spent much of my life.

  4. That's a remarkable collection of photos to get within 50 feet of your house. Especially while you're recovering from a TBI! Take it easy.

  5. Your nature photos are absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope for a good and continued recovery. Warm greetings from a 68 year old retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.

  7. Thank you all for your kind words. It's been an interesting journey, but not one I'd recommend if you can avoid it.

  8. I hope you are still taking it easy and resting a lot. I know you want to get out in nature! I love those birds nest fungi...I've never seen anything like it. We had a black racer in our backyard this week...and some wild turkeys walk through. Too hot to sit outside here though. Take care!
