“Hanging in There”

 

“Hanging in There”

I enjoyed watching this cub climb the pine tree. The bear family put on a show close to the road as I stood on a hill with a prime view. I’m glad I had my long lens.

 

You can read the reason for my title in my story below…

 

I’m sorry, bears, I didn’t get to visit you last week. I had COVID, and even though I wouldn’t be close enough to give you COVID, I didn’t want to get others sick.

 

I titled this photo to describe my state of being. It’s been a rough late spring and early summer. I had kidney stone surgery at the end of May. The antibiotic gave me C. diff. and chest pains, which ended in a trip to the ER. At my post-op appointment, they discovered I still have a kidney stone that is 4.6mm. I got about 120 chigger bites looking for Monarch caterpillars, then Covid last week.

 

Bears, it was good to see you this week. You make me smile!
