I watched an Ibis catch a fish recently and it wasn't able to get it turned to swallow... it was standing in water. It walked, with the fish tight in it's mouth, over to the sand and finished it's maneuvering. I think it knew the fish would get away in the water, but not on the sand!!!<br /><br />Would you email me please with the type of camera you have?

My chiropractor had me stop every hour and lay on the back seat with my legs up on the back of it--sort of a sitting in a chair position except horizontal. He also gave me one of those support belts like the crews at warehouse stores wear to wear when I would be standing any length of time. Those two things really helped me. I hope you find something that helps you.Linda Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734450335251336493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-5438725789088748082011-11-03T10:16:05.804-05:002011-11-03T10:16:05.804-05:00I well know about back pain.

I have a pic of a Blue Heron today on my blog taken yesterday at a NWR in Delaware. I was wishing then for a closer shot.<br /><br />This morning Leonard almost hit a Bald Eagle when it swooped in front of him here in rural Cumberland County NJ. It was just 2 miles up the road. How exciting.

Also know that great feeling and excited concentration that goes along with each and every one of those photos. Some of us are so fortunate to have this hobby of photography:)) Good luck with your back. Understand that pain all to well having had sporadic and severe lower back pain over the years. Totally imobilized and taken by ambulance to a hospital one time. Also don't discount kidney or bladder stones.

Believe...Sounds like you may have pinched a nerve. Believe it or not, a Chiropractor may be able to sort that out. (Been there, done that). It's like when you get a "stiff neck", it's your body's way of saying, "Stop doing what you're doing".<br />When I asked my GP about a Chiropractor, he said "Oh, I don't believe in Chiropractors", kind of like the way you'd say you don't believe in ghosts. <br />As it happened, a friend of mine was seeing a Chiropractor, I got the name and made an appointment. (This was after six months of suffering with my own Doc not being able to do sweet bugger all except prescribe some sort of anti-inflammatory drugs that didn't really do anything).<br />So happens it was covered by my plan at work, and even if it hadn't been, it was well worth it.<br />I meekly suggest you give it a try.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-51641553606620671052011-11-02T23:32:50.719-05:002011-11-02T23:32:50.719-05:00I've had back problems--it's no fun.
