Trying to eat the whole flower bud at once!

The surgery is done thank goodness! It was a little more involved than was planned and instead of a fairly simple endoscopic procedure, it turned into a full incision due to advanced arthritis in the wrist. Saturday it was painful and swollen but each day now it is feeling better. Today I am able to type for a little while. Writing is still difficult. I have the sutures removed next week. I will try and start commenting some. I sat outside each day before the surgery and tried to take some pictures so I have a few new ones to post.

Thank you all so much for commenting on my pictures. I so much appreciated you doing that.

Perfect timing to capture this sparrow being quite vocal! I love the backlighting of the autumnal foliage, which makes a beautiful backdrop.
