Looking for breakfast

I know it has been a while since I posted photographs in Nature.  For the past two plus years I have had problems with walking, balance and endurance. I was treated by many Orthopedic and Neurology,  Physicians, and for over a year they all said I was interesting, but did not fit any classic illness.  My problem progressed to the point were I need a walking stick to get around.  Last Nov. Dr Elena Bortan a movement disorder physician, asked me if I would try a Parkinson’s med. and it was like turning a light switch.  She stated I had the beginning stages of Parkinson’s, even though I did not fit into the classic forms of Parkinson’s.  I am now taking Rytary ,working with Tom Cushing T’ai Chi master and the Rocky Steady Boxing program that is setup to help people with Parkinson’s, all of these have helped me.
I am only telling my story, because you may know some one out there who is having problems like I had and is getting no were with their doctors.  I now of many people who went years with Parkinson’s problems before a doctor finally treated them.  There are med’s out there and T’ai Chi and Boxing and help them.

I'm glad to hear you've finally found the help for your health issues, Peter.  This is a really nice shot.  I like the way it's framed top and bottom and I like the lighting on the egret.

Peter, so glad you are back into taking photos. This one is great, I like the reflection in the water and the nice shadows and highlights on the feathers. Hope to see more real soon.

A nice composition with the foreground and background framing the bird and reflection.
