My 5th year of cancer

 

 The past few years I felt more energetic, more active and more positive.  Especially last year I really feel good as all my test result and CT scan came back with good news.  But this year is different.  My PSA keep going up and now my fingers are numbed and have no strength - sarcopenia (I think).  My spinal cord and ribs ache so much I could not sleep, swim and do my usual morning exercise.  Feels like I am going downhill.

Sale of my photo

Recently someone bought one of my photos.  This is unexpected.  Anyway, it is a photo of the US President's former school in Jakarta, Indonesia where he attended when he was a boy of 10.

Well, I would not mind selling my photos although I have not made any attempt to sell them.  It is just my interest.  I print my own photos and framed them up.  I also print birthday cards which I send to my children.  After all, I have lots of pictures to use for background and design. 

Nature - more birds' pictures

Birds and more birds.  I love their singing but hate their droppings.


This is the zebra dove.

This is a mynah bird.  I think it is the jungle mynah.  Very noisy.

2 cute little zebra doves.

This bulbul is enjoying a meal of dragonfly at my backyard.

This oriole is having a drink

                                  

Another one is eating the fruit of the palm tree

         

At first I thoufgt this is a bulbul.  But on closer look I am not so sure.  It flew off when I tried to get near for a closer look.

Shade.  What a cool place for the bulbul.
