gearl comments on Apr 17, 2020:

The longer lens gave a nicer quality with the background pleasantly blurred thus focusing on the flower. When you need depth of field the wide angle will do better.

If you look closely at the horizontal you can see the mountains behind the trees, at least that is what I was hoping. You really can't see that in the vertical. I do like the vertical better - as you stated, the full length of the trees sets it off.

Yesterday when I went to the store I took 5 or 6 disinfected wipes and totally wiped the buggy and then when I delivered I put it outside and stood in the yard.... They have been in quarantine for 3 weeks now.

@AstralSmoke I was really worried when I started riding but no pain so far. I think it has to do with the heel toe movement/stretch.

So for winter I put my succulents in the window behind the curtain so they could get plenty of sun &...

Thank you

Being safe but went for a bike ride this morning! Oh my goodness do I feel like a million $$ now.

AstralSmoke comments on Mar 28, 2020:

You're looking pretty fit. Love your mask!

Heidi68 replies on Mar 29, 2020:

@AstralSmoke have you ever had a Charlie horse in your leg/calf? Imagine the worst one ever - that is what it feels like when I run or hike (or use my elliptical machine)... sucks...

Now that's a ride 🤣

Seems he would have died soon anyway with such sticky blood.

@AstralSmoke it is very painful when I run or do serious uphill hiking. Usually it happens after serious trauma but when I had the surgery on my left leg the doctor said he was seeing it in a lot of military from running. It is were the fascia (covering of muscles) does not allow for expansion. So basically, when I exercise the muscles in my calves can't expand and cramp. Stretching does nothing for it....

Weekend project - I built Bear an outdoor aviary, he loved the little one we had in Oklahoma.

Nice & safe.

Heidi68 replies on Mar 29, 2020:

Thank you. The wire is on each panel, tacked every couple of inches. The only place that doesn't have wire is the bottom (because it ended up heavier than expected 😁 but it is in the front yard so I really don't think it should be a problem). I will post more pictures as he gets more comfortable.

Now that's a ride 🤣

Heidi68 replies on Mar 28, 2020:

@AstralSmoke I was thinking about doing that. I have an elliptical but it hurts my calves. I have compartment syndrome in them - I had surgery on one but it still isn't fixed. That is why I started cycling, it is the only thing that doesn't aggravate my calves.

@AstralSmoke I agree but it is soooo easy to sit on the couch when it is cold & rainy

Beowulfsfriend comments on Mar 28, 2020:

I remember visiting and camping in Key West in the mid 70's and the local government ran trucks spewing some fog out of a trailer to kill mosquitoes through the place I was camping with friends.

Heidi68 replies on Mar 28, 2020:

They use to do that in the neighborhoods when I was a kid. We use to follow right behind the trucks, I can't believe we survived all that poison

It was a cloudy day in Yuma this afternoon. My friend and I walked nearly six miles

@MissKathleen I remember when I lived in San Diego and the skies were blue like that 90% of the time. We have some sun right now but I believe clouds are moving in later today.

Bean and at least 10 characters

Heidi68 comments on Mar 25, 2020:

That 10 characters is annoying! Sometimes 1 word is all that is needed. How is Bean dealing with quarantine?

@AstralSmoke I am glad I have my yard fenced. I work in the public so I can barely stand being around more humans when I leave work.
