HFF everyone!

One of the last photos I took before my back went and I didn't take any more new photos for some time. I had an operation for 4 fractured vertebrae (apparently caused by long term cortisone treatment as part of my chemotherapy). Then immediately after suffered a detached retina so another operation, then quickly after that, covid in a big way (5 months in hospital including 2 months in an induced coma).
Funny how these things pan out; on the day I took this photo, I'd walked 30,000 paces and felt really really good! Hubris or what?
A song I've always liked and a band who always inspired.

Andy Rodker replied to Ecobird:

Well, I don't want to bring autumn on too soon, Carol but I wanted a (sort of) fence and this is one shot I found that I hadn't uploaded before!
Many thanks ..and yes, I'm getting things sorted out health-wise. For example on Sunday I did 41,000 paces according to my pedometer. But then I don't wan't to encourage hubris again!

I think it is good that we, humans, do not know what the future will bring. Therefore we should always enjoy the present moment. HFF Andy.

Well I always liked Camus and his like, so I can't agree more with that existentialist way of reasoning, Christa! Many thanks!

Beautifully red, Andy. HFF to you and yours. I'd say "keep putting one foot in front of the other", but it seems that may have been part of the problem! 41,000 paces? Crikey, that's a year's worth in my book.

Take care and stay safe, mate.
