Yesterday was Sunday and Sundays are always running days at our house. This is our “long run” day, even if a “long run” consists of only several kilometers. Sundays are always the longest runs of the week.
Lately I’ve been suffering, shall we say, age related issues. I have headaches every day. Hot flashes. I can’t sleep. I’m tired and fed up. I’m always on the verge of a migraine. I felt like this yesterday and decided that I just wasn’t up to running, no matter how far. We went to the dunes anyway, DB ran, and I walked and took some photos. At least I got outside and moved a bit.
I hope you aren’t tired of my dunes and polder photos yet, because here come some more. I’m still learning about my new camera and trying out things. One thing I learned is that those birds who sing so sweetly are almost impossible to take photos of. They are fast and very small. I started off taking photos of things that were barely moving.
My best tree photo:
My best flower photo:
My best animal photo:
My best bird photo. Do you know what kind of bird this is? I don’t. I was following the sound of a woodpecker, but this doesn’t look like a woodpecker. Please let me know if you know!
Just when we were about to leave the walking path suddenly there was a rush of sound, hooves pounding the ground and four deer ran across the path behind us. I tried to get a good photo but they were very fast. This is the best I could do. There were two adults and two young ones still with spots on their backs.
They looked just like White Tail Deer that we have in the U.S. They weren’t as big as Mule Deer and their ears weren’t that big either. Their while tails flicked up when they ran.
And that’s my story of my not-run from yesterday. I have made a doctor appointment for this week to get my hormone situation sorted out. I’m hoping for drugs and instant relief.
