Take care, but don't miss the beauty, sometimes it's worth the risk! I know that I sometimes do things that I shouldn't in regards to a bad back and knees, but on the other hand, how I would hate to miss the beauty!!
Enjoy, Robin!

Hummingbirds in the manzanitas -- that would lure me out!
ahhh look at that juv hummer, no wonder you are out and about. Thanks for the sunshine Robin!
So that is where my hummers went. Do be careful but I know with my back that execise does help.
Gold in ditches? Need more info.
I don't know how you can hike when you back is bothering you. When mine is strained, it's hard to get up out of a chair and walk to the bathroom. Take care.
I can feel the pull of the out of doors. Maybe the walk helps your back - it sure helps your heart and soul.
I never have fun when my back is aching. I'm jealous.
Our place in Twain Harte/Cedar Ridge was surrounded by ditches. They all led down into Columbia, Calif.
Hope you feel well soon.
We will be expecting a report from roger.
What a sweet hummingbird in the manzanitas! Hummingbirds are good medicine, as are walks in the fall.

That came from Loren's post today:

What synchronicity! ---just got new grownup walking shoes to make the trail easier. As a result, my feet feel broken---two hours on----eight hours wrapped in heat and ice. Wonder if I should go back to those old cheap Big 5 ones that have held together so long? And, sadly, we found one of those little iridescent green fellows on the flagstones yesterday---so very tiny, its eyes closed and as light as a flower petal. He now is buried beneath a gardenia bush and a heart-shaped rock.
You've given me a new motto: How will you know if you don't get out there and take a look and listen? It will justify my walks when I should be cleaning house.
Thanks
Sorry to hear that your back is bothering you. That's a great hummingbird picture. I'm glad to hear that you were able to get out and enjoy a beautiful day.
Hope your back improves... not an easy thing to cure. I often start out "researching a post" and then get entirely lost for hours in the stream of information. Hope Roger enjoyed 
Aw, what a great hummingbird picture. I haven't gotten any good pictures of them for a while. Good thing you post them, because they are so much fun to look at. I'm glad your back is getting better. It's been raining so much, here, if it sunshines, we have to get out, too.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post, and reminder that Life is till beautiful, though we sometimes forgot about it.
