Well, at least it's not the bird flu. And nobody said I can't meet with the geese at the lake. These are greylags by the way, and by now (the photo was taken in February) the big flocks of geese have disbanded. They're all hanging out in pairs now 😊
I hope you're all doing well. Stay safe!

Before the second lockdown, I'd made an appointment to enter the botanic gardens at the opening hour. While waiting I roamed the plaza and really liked the shadows.
Happy Bench Monday!
Bright sunny days can create terrific shadows in a street environment. Here a woman walks past a concrete wall outside St. Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst, Sydney.

For a 'quiet' country lane, this road in Gawsworth gets quite busy... especially when I have my camera with me. I waited for a while, for an empty view, but it didn't happen. I love the light streaming through the trees and that was my initial focus. But the woman and the car became part of the story...
I went for a pinhole effect with this, to emphasize the tunnel of light. Hope you like it!
Yes, we are currently mere shadows of ourselves as we have become trapped in DIARRHEA HELL!
For two months Tidda has been suffering from increasingly frequent bouts of diarrhea. For the most part, she seems to be feeling okay and enjoys her walks, is hungry and plays. I on the other hand have been reduced to stumbling in a trance from one colon emergency to the next, randomly having to drop everything and take her outside or, worse, having to get up at 2 a.m. to take her out. And then again at 5.
Stool samples are negative for Giardia, negative for worms. She's been on probiotics and prebiotics for 10 days and has had several 24-hour fasts, now mostly getting rice and home-cooked chicken broth. She's losing weight and does seem to be a little less energetic.
The 12 day wait for the vet appointment has been the longest 12 days ever. It's no longer episodic but just continuous diarrhea. I wanted to bring her in as an emergency on Saturday but then she seemed slightly better and the vet "no longer had any same day visits available" that day. To be honest, I might be suffering more than she is. They said I'm doing everything right and she should get better.
Ever since the pandemic, the vet clinic has been chronically understaffed and overburdened and I've heard it's due in large part to the extreme local housing shortage as they can't hire people if there is no affordable place for them to live. Another issue is that I have constant problems buying her regular food as intermittently it's just not available due to the supply chain problems that are affecting pet foods. It's a real stressor for me. I'm going to see what the vet thinks about the possibility of making my own food for her.
Yet, Tidda is her sweet and good self. I'm trying to emulate her in that regard. I tell myself we will get through this and she will get better. Life just never seems to get any easier, though.
Wish us luck for the vet visit on Wednesday!
