Description
Hi Friends,
I have just at the spur of the moment decided to upload an image this morning. Partly because I miss you all so much and partly to make me feel better. This is just a tranquil scene of a mommy Mallard and her three babies which I captured a couple of weeks back.
Just a quick update on the health side... After my 17 days of antibiotics for the bronchitis and sinus infections, I have come down on Sunday with the Coxsackie Virus. It is of the same family as the polio virus but obviously not as dangerous. My youngest son picked it up a couple of weeks back and has now graciously passed it on. It is horrible and the sad thing is, because it is viral, there is no treatment. I am covered in a rash (much like german measles) from head to toe - even the white of my eyes, and this morning, as an added extra, all my joints (ankles, knees, hips, hands) are swollen and so bitterly painful. It takes about 5 days to clear - today being day 3 for me... It is highly contagious, so I am working from home... The show must go on!!
Thanks for popping in and for your valued comments on this image and my previous uploads.
Miss ya all.
Hugs, Carin xx

Great shot, and get your rest! Darn those viruses....
Sorry to hear you are unwell Carin, not just the once but twice, I sympathise with your joint pain, I have that constantly, and just this morning I started with sinus problems. I hope you are soon well. Excellent capture of mother and her little balls of fluff, love the postwork as well. Bravo!!!!!
Such so adorable family... sublim capture Carin!
Oh, Carin! This is awful! I never heard of this but when you use the word polio I shutter, even if it is a mildly related virus. Polio in my time was a living nightmare. I imagine the rash and joint pain is difficult physically, but mentally, this is just too difficult. I wish I could help. Contagious or not, I have no problems helping the quarantined... when I was young, I had several illness that required quaranteen. I always appreciated the one person who would venture in to help me. Get better... I have missed your uploads and cheery comments. I hate being separated from you and Bruce like this. LOL
Very nice work!
lol @ PJ. Thank you dear friend! I must admit - it is a rather lonely road!!! The joints are slightly better at the moment but nighttime is creeping up on us and then it is usually worse again... I got some serious immune boosters today and have started taking it. Hopefully it will get me up and running in NO time. Miss you all!!! xx
What a beautiful capture and that pink border sets it off wonderfully Carin, nice work!
Sweet soft colors here, beautiful!! Please get well!!!
Thanks Lynell! :-| That name alone sounds like you need a vet! you pond scene seems to be on track, good luck!
First of all, am extremely sorry about your current physical state, which also affects one's mental state. When it rains it pours. Fine POV employed in this shot of mommy mallard and her brood, Carin. Rocks look impressive also.
Lyk soos my eendjies...Hugs
Oh my gosh Carin, so sorry all this hit you at once and Bruce too! Gorgeous capture of the little family and beautiful presentation! Please, both of you! feel better soon!!! (((C)))
Excellent capture of the duck family.Carin trust you and Bruce are feeling better already.
Hi Carin, you have my best wishes and prayers to get well soon. I have had the odd ugly virus myself thanks to the mosquito population of my fair land so I can feel for where you are now. I hope this will all pass very soon as you have lots of preparations to do now. I have also been in the Carin/Bruce situation as my wife was an overseas internet friend once who chose to pay me a visit. It's a lot scarier when they arrive, trust me hehe. Probably shouldn't have written that last bit as it won't help the nerves but you never know, it might work as it did for us. Get well soon
Super shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get those bugs gone, soon you will be in the teens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice capture !!! Thank you for sharing it !!!
A lovely view of this little family, the purple flowers are an especially nice addition to the composition. So sorry about the problems! Mercy, I would have been worried. Hope all is well soon for you! You have to be well by September! :)
Lovely capture!!
Get well Carin!!!! wonderful capture of these cute duckies!
