Birds Of A Feather

Being a recent enrollee of the New York Institute of Photography has gotten me out with camera in hand to experiment with a new camera, ideas, and a new eye on the world surrounding me. It is perhaps a coping mechanism for the day to day vigil of watching my parents decline in health slowly. A larger version of the above picture can be found at my webshots site http://community.webshots.com/user/silvatungdfox/2 which is actually the third page of my photo albums now, in the Birds album.

Previously I was sitting at my computer combing through the real estate ads for France, The Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland. (yes I found the one I want, but suspect it won't still be on the market when I actually am free to proceed to that stage of my life plan.)

It also may be a knee jerk reaction to the recent bout I had with breast cancer. I want to encourage all women to do self examinations every month, and have anything abnormal checked out right away. Mine was stage 3 only because of the size of the tumor, and happily I am now well again. It is just as well as I turned out to be allergic to the chemotheraphy they wanted to do because of my age.
