In My Neighborhood

I have not been in a car since March 12. I wonder how much longer I will not be in a car. (We aren’t supposed to travel except for “essential travel” now. I have no essential traveling to do!) I don’t miss driving at all, and there is so much to see so close to my home.

Here … have this succulent image, which was probably less than a mile from my house:

A Short Walk and Very Few Photos

My brain is so preoccupied with the stuff of life that my walk today was rather labored. This happens when I am distracted. My feet were slow and everything felt heavy. But of course I still saw a few things that did stop me and cause me to pull out the camera. Sun shining through an agave is one of those things.

First Shot

The last time I used my camera, aside from iPhone shots, was January 4. That’s the longest I’ve gone without doing one thing with a camera for a very long time!  First it was due to a bad foot. Then it was a bad cold. Now I have a bad knee but I was not going to allow that to stop me getting out for at least a short walk. I didn’t do much, but there’s always a first shot.

I can’t imagine doing anything big with this image, but I’m delighted that I got out, and this was a lovely plant. And of course a first shot is a first shot! I do hope I’ve identified it correctly.
