right b4 we split, we went to hawaii. he’s a photo bug and had a 600mm lens. when i’d spot something i couldnt see well, he’d take a pic and i cd figure it out on the laptop. for a minute, i thought we had something.
he’s retired now, remarried, and lives on a lake in mich. he sends me pics of birds, sometimes to id, sometimes just to rub it in, i guess. lol.

i havent even had my binocs out in a while, but i’ve been pretty sick and rarely leave the house these days. hope to get back to it, tho. it was my sanity when the kids were small.
