the way I see the world
I (finally!) walked a better distance today. I did a seven mile walk, and was relieved that I could still manage that. Prior to this darn pandemic I was taking even longer walks, but someone Covid stole my mileage from me … even though I have, so far, not caught the darn thing.
I didn’t do a lot of photography: it was breezy and the majority of what I DID shoot didn’t work due to that wind. But I like this one a bit. The flower was a bit high up and holding my sun deflector in my left hand while holding the camera in my right was challenging, but this’ll do.

Sometimes I take a number of shots of a flower, shooting from different angles. Often I favor one easily and toss the rest (or let them sit in my files in case I change my mind later). In this case it was only two shots that I took, but since I don’t know which I prefer I’ll share both. Yes, they are similar, but they are not the same. And both have something in them that I really like.
