Chasing Butterflies

I may be walking with a cane right now but I can still hold my camera with the big lens and chase a perfect Eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly through the phlox in the front yard.

Yes, a cane. I will have a hip replacement surgery in October. It’s why I haven’t been posting much for the past year, after a decade of posting nearly every day.

I’ve been trying to take it easy on the hip so that we might preserve it and I could wait until I was a little older for this surgery. But it’s happening now anyway and I can go back to abusing my hip fora couple more months. And really, I can’t wait!
