I'm glad you're doing OK...We were unfortunate, as Hazel lost a cousin to the virus.

A marvelous close-up of this little cutie Mali. Terrific photograph!

Sad to read about the loss in your family. We were really lucky. No confirmed case of corona in my family (uncles, aunts, cousins etc.). Last year a doctor in our family gave my parents the advice for a vaccination against pneumonia because the corona virus can cause severe lung complications.

We dont get anything like that here, because I have asbestosis (COPD) I only get a flu shot every year.

Asbestos fibers are terrible. Sad to read that you suffer from an asbestos-related disease. Many many years ago I had a job in a fine dust environment without mask (1990s) and another job with exposure to solvents (also 1990s) with a close black-out one day. Hope you still can enjoy wildlife and the disease still allows you to get out to get some more superb wader pictures. You got kids, grand kids and a lovely wife.

Delightful portrait, tfs Mali!
