<p>Jan,<br>

Good to see you again. Sorry to hear of your illness and wish you a complete recovery. Perhaps your back yard duck can bring some cheer. Has she returned?</p>

<p>A small, but pretty insect came crawling over a nice cluster of <em>Cudoniella clavus. </em>They are small and grow on decayed stems, leaves, and small twigs in wet areas like rills and boggy water. </p><div></div>

<p>Laura,<br>

The duck did come to have a look, but i scared her off.. i wasn't up to feeding ducklings for 3 months.<br>

Not a thing to do when you don't even have the energy to lift a camera. Chemo therapy does weird things to your body. Starting a new series next month, might be offline again for a while.</p>

 

<p>Jan,<br>

My best wishes to you and please stay positive as it helps tremendously. Beat this!<br>

Gary</p>

<p>Jan, I wish you a complete recovery and much strength during the chemo.</p><div></div>

<p>Shot with an EOS-M and 22mm f/2.0 lens. This guy waited patiently while I got within a few inches to snap a couple of frames. <a title="MrFrog by chris thompson, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/outwithmycamera13/17523457663"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7778/17523457663_f7bb05f340_z.jpg" alt="MrFrog" width="640" height="468" /></a></p>
