    First day out with a camera for 2 months ...

    Hi all

    Today was my first day out with a camera since my heart attack 2 months ago. It felt good!

    Last week I had a treadmill test - I was apprehensive about it, but it went pretty well. I did the whole 9 minutes of the protocol and could probably have done a couple of minutes more. Although I was a little breathless, the technician said that the ecg showed that everything was working as it should. I am thankful for that - otherwise it could have meant a bypass.

    I am back to work now too, albeit part time and with nothing too stressful or strenuous. I also was on the phone with overbeyond this evening - we are planning an outing in a few week's time.

    Anyway, it's been snowing here - this is my daughter in a local park called Nonsuch which was, back in the 1500s, part of Henry VIII's hunting park.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Welcome back to shooting. So the winter storm was just so you could get some good shots, eh? Do you carry the ballon in your camera bag for when you need a touch of color? TF

    I saw the red and guess it was posed.
    Not many people I've seen are carrying nice bright things like that

    Nicely done!

    Very nice Mike, glad to see you back. If the event is at a weekend let me know and I'll see if I can fit it in.
