18th October 2013 Robin

The continuing story of the robin. He has discovered where I am hiding the mealworms and is coming every day now. I have had to give in with the garden fork however as the rain is ruining the handle and it's quite new so it has gone back into the shed. Here he is on the fence below the feeders and he has found the mealworms on the wall below him. (Looks so much better large!!)

I couldn't go out today as I am having problems with both my feet. I have a problem with both heals underneath and am waiting for orthotics to be made which will hoprfully help. I am hoping for a miracle!! I have spent a fortune on shoes which feel comfortable in the shop and kill me when I walk in them!! So feeling rather sorry for myself today and decided as I couldn't get out I would sit and wait for my friendly robin to turn up.

I have just seen I have two of my shots on PP - my flying gull and one of my Red Deer Stag shots from yesterday. Thank you all so much for your continued support. I love to read all your comments and am always extremely grateful when you click the Fav button!! Have a great weekend all!!

WOW I have just woken up to find this shot on the PP! I can't believe it - 3 shots on PP at once! Thank you all for your great comments and Favs! This has made my day!

Friday 25th October - this lovely robin hit the TT - WOW I am so thrilled - I really never expected to get a shot on there. Many thanks to all you lovely people for getting him there!!
Beautiful photo!

Well, robins don't usually use forks to eat their mealworms ;) full marks to you for trying though and this is a great shot.
October 18th, 2013  
Wonderful shot Pam and an instant Fav. I'm sorry to hear about your heels and hope you get the orthotics sorted out soon.

Such a perfect pose and wonderful composition. Picture perfect. Instant Fav! I do hope your orthotics do the trick for you.
October 18th, 2013  
A beautiful robin. I am sorry about your feet (says one who had foot surgery in January). I assume you are seeing a doctor? Are you doing exercises for the pain? Oh, and apparently epsom salt baths are supposed to be wonderful for healing.
October 18th, 2013  
@henrir Thank you so much for your lovely comments and Fav Henri - very much appreciated!! The chiropodist has said there is no guarantee they will help but lots of people have had positive results. Trouble is I have had my problem in both feet - plantar fasciatus for over 5 years now and there just seems to be no relief!! I will try anything now!! Probably too much information - sorry!!
October 18th, 2013  
Beautiful Christmas Card material-- a beautiful Robin shot and a fav
October 18th, 2013  
@danette Thank you Danette. I have been given excercises for the first time and been told to massage the ball of the heal even if its painful. this is new so worth a try!! I will get the epsom salts tomorrow!!
October 18th, 2013

I love this robin series and the way you've enticed him to hang out in your area. Sad to read your feet are giving you problems and hope the orthotics do the trick.

@pixiemac Aw thanks Sarah!!
October 20th, 2013  
Just revisiting your thread on your feet. I have the most terrible painful heel on the left, I have to crawl if I get up in the night or if I have been sitting in the evening. Eases up when I do walk but really awful. I am guessing plantar fasciitis. Is this what your is?
October 20th, 2013  
@lucypics oh no Lucy it definitely sounds like it! Always worse in the morning or if I have been sitting! I have it in both feet. I had cortisone injections in both heals but no luck it didn't work. I have spent a fortune on shoes and my feet stll hurt when I walk. I am hoping the orthotics will help! I have bad flare up at the moment. I've had this for years now ', I hope you get some relief for your foot. Try stretching your foot before you put any weight on it. Good luck !
October 20th, 2013
