Dang! Sorry to hear that! Back to the old grind as we say here. Spending some time in nature is definitely good for the Soul! I think my husband has many weeks of vacay but it is hard to get away in his job. He will get a week off later this month but more than likely will still have to go in for a couple of hours during it.
It is harder to capture some birds now with all the trees in foliage. I can hear them but hard to see them unless they are on a wire or at the feeders. I haven't been out much other than a quick visit to Loch Raven which is very nearby. My husband and I rode by yesterday and got to see a deer by the dam and saw that a movie was being filmed there which was pretty cool.
Sorry that you didn't get any bird or mushroom photos. So many people here are foraging for mushrooms so the pickings are slim and I haven't even been out much due to some health issues and, of course, some rain. Wishing you all the best and a wonderful weekend!! 💖
