Dem Bones, Dem Bones........

.................Dem Dry Bones (from a Spiritual based on Ezekiel 37:1 -14.). Have just returned from a visit to the Physiotheraphy Clinic with one of my "ladies" who has back, knee and weight problems - we got talking and the Physio said if I wanted to photograph Sammy Spine I could! so here he is! This is your spine too and as she explained, the spine is made up of 33 irregularly shaped bones - called the vertebrae - with a hole running through each - the spinal cord running through each hole. Between each bone is a pad of gristle which works like a shock absorber. These pads together with the curved S-shape of your spine prevent shock when walking running and jumping. She told us that good food, posture etc will help to keep our spines straight and strong. She also told us that extra weight can put a strain on our backs as well.
Well, I feel as if I've been to school today but I must admit I enjoyed it immensely and learnt so much as well.
Rather a different picture from my usual - but as they say - a change is as good as a rest!!

Weather started very misty with a slight frost but sun has shone most of the day and no rain!
