The king...Hello There, I enjoyed your post today. The kingfisher is a gorgeous bird--and you got some fabulous photos. Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I do try to read blogs—but just haven’t commented very much lately like I usually try to do. Please don’t give up on me. Hopefully my life will be back to ‘normal’— whatever that is (ha), sometime in January. <br /><br />I did get a cortisone shot in my knee —which has helped with the pain somewhat. In January, I will most likely have meniscus tear surgery…. BUT—in the meantime, I plan to have a fantastic Christmas —and hopefully get to see my kids/grands… God is Good.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-12718940439038408612014-12-17T17:13:09.852+10:002014-12-17T17:13:09.852+10:00Great photos and interesting information!
