So sad about the trees! I did not realize mistletoe was a parasite.

I especially like the 5th photo of the pond and the reflections in it. Very nicely done!

I too, suffer from joint issues and it lately has impacted my ability to go for the long, hilly hikes my husband and I used to take. I have to pick my battles; if I go on one, then I sort of pay for it over the next few days. It's maddening!

Anyway, keep up the movement and keep us posted! I enjoyed reading your post. Take care and enjoy the weekend! !LADY
