The other side... ( best on black. )

of the story. Found this photo on my Canon Powershot today. Have not seen him since last weekend. Maybe he is on a journey visiting his friends. Yesterday, 24 9 2020, was Heritage day in South Africa. Many persons made a long weekend of the few days
wow - almost looks like he's stuffed :)

Wow! What a clear and detailed shot! What is he standing on?
September 25th, 2020  
@grammyn the same tree of my previous photo. Xmastree sky high. Not so clear. I saw him through a small window in my passage while sitting in a wheelchair. I had to make a U turn and get hold of my camera. Luckily he was still there. I did not open my windows thought he might fly away.

Amazing capture with wonderful details Sylvia, your window must be very clean. Congrats on the TT, nice to see him there too :-)

Strangely gangly looking bird...great capture.

@sdutoit the greenery is what threw me off as the other photo shows bare branches.

why are you in a wheel chair?!
September 25th, 2020  
@grammyn I saw this after I send the message. Sorry. The top part of the tree died in the first pic. On the second pic he was then sitting on a branch just lower . The first pic was taken with my Canon Eos 60 D with the Zoom lens. The one on the greenery was taken with my Canon SX 60 HS with a fixed lens.

@grammyn at this stage I am in a wheel chair learning to walk. I had a total hip replacement in January 2019. The second hip to be replaced 3 months after that. My medical aid refused to pay for 2 operations in one year. I did my best but they just kept on refusing. I spend time in the wheel chair from November 2018. Looking forward to be able to walk normal again. I am able to walk a few steps without crutches now. Taking it slow. Ha ha from having a license to ride a Honda 750cc motorbike to get along by wheel chair. I learned to accept it.
September 25th, 2020  
Very interesting shot, at the same time sharp and smooth.
Sorry for your health troubles, hope you recover soon! And congrats for the TT

@sdutoit Oh, Sylvia! I am so sorry to hear that. I knew you had hip replacement surgery but I was gone for a while because of my schooling and I guess I missed the rest of your saga. I admire your tenacity so much

Wow another great shot of this gorgeous bird. so sorry you're still in pain. hope you have some good days in between. I must stop complaining when my shoulder hurts and the pain rises up into my head and down my arm. my doctor says: you are 85 years old with arthritis and tendonitis, but otherwise fit as a fiddle. what does he know!!!

Hi Sylvia, so jammer om te hoor dat jy in rolstoel is :-( Hoop dat dinge sommer eersdaags weer beter sal wees. Raak dit al bietjie warmer in Bloem?
September 28th, 2020  
Good shot

@moya Goed om van jou te hoor! Klink of dit goed gaan by jou. Ja nee elke dag beter. Dit was oor die naweek warm. 31 C. Nou gehoor oor die radio 'n koue front in aantog en min 2 vannag hier. Dit sal eers somer word na goeie reen. Gewoonlik na die middel van Oktober. Mooi bly en geniet die see.
