A Few More Infrared Images

M y health is still quite lousy so I have been laying low and looking for things to do that require little energy and that take up little time.  I've been laying low since mid-January so this is getting kind of old.  I'm still not sure if this poor health is simply a "new normal" for me or if I am experiencing an extra long term recovery that is taking far more time than usual.  Or, if perhaps my health has worsened significantly...  or a new secondary illness...  or a newly ineffective medication...  I'll discuss all of this with my oncologist next week.  In the meantime, I am still struggling each day to do the smallest of things before sleeping away most of the day. I've been extremely and overwhelmingly fatigued.  Even on those rare occasions when I feel "okay" for a short time, I am quickly so exhausted that I must lay down.  I'm also still struggling with significant difficulties breathing a few times each week.  Then throw in the usual gas

I had another rather lousy day yesterday.  I awoke in the morning having difficulty breathing.  My breathing improved a bit after I got up and took my morning dose of medications but I continued having difficulty breathing off and on throughout the day.   At this point, I'm really at a loss for what might be causing this ongoing breathing problem...  generic medications as opposed to brand-name medications?...  a worsened mast cell condition?...  a new condition that is more acute?...  having COVID again but continued to test negative?...  I really have no idea and I'm thinking we won't have any idea until after my next bone marrow biopsy.  That is scheduled for early in March so I have one more month to wait.   Most of yesterday was spent on the couch but I did manage to spend some time at the computer editing a few landscape photos.   This first photo was shot in Burlington on Lake Champlain... The State Capitol in Montpelier...  the three people walking toward me in the

Some Attitude

I was working on refining some of my photography skills and techniques tonight and came across two photos from a year ago. Whenever I practice some new techniques, I always go searching through my hard drives to find some images with which to practice. The two photos below caught my eye for tonight's session. These are two images which slipped through the cracks last November and have been sitting quietly, in relative obscurity, on one of my hard drives all this time. A few photos slipping through the cracks every now and then should come as no surprise since I have shot about 10,000 in just the past year! I can't keep track of all of my photos nor is it possible for me to show even a quarter of them. Needless to say, some really nice images slip through the cracks and never get shown. Anyway, here are two images... one of Kenzie and one of Lukey... both being a bit animated and showing some attitude...
