Oh look! 🌺
It's been almost a year, and I haven't yet killed my orchids.
Don't know what this is. I planted them years ago and they just keep coming up every spring.

I am notoriously untrustworthy when it comes to plant identification.
Neck is getting a bit better. Saw the spine surgeon 
in Oakland on Monday. He said 80% of these type of disc injuries will heal themselves if given enough time. Started me on Gabapentin and it seems to be helping, with minimal side effects so far.
He said that if it hasn't improved enough over the next couple months that a discectomy and cervical cage would be appropriate.
I'm just glad that the Gaba is starting to decrease the pain. I also jumped through the hoops (low and large as they were) to get a California MM card. It doesn't seem to do much for pain, but relaxes the muscle cape across my shoulders and back enough to get to sleep. 
I'm thinking I'll be ready for a photo trip with other humans very soon. 
Geez...ask a simple question, get a missive in response. I can be chatty...
It's amazing how sensitive to pressure that disc makes my neck. My D7100 is not particularly heavy, and I don't have any large lenses, but anything that will take the pressure off is a plus in my eyes. 
Congrats on their survival.
