today

Today I walked to work and back. I brought my camera along. I had intended to shoot all sorts of things on my way in, but I only ended up taking two pictures. There was a lot more I thought of shooting, and I regret not having shot most of them already. Maybe next time.


Spring is starting to pop up all over, even in the city. These daffodils squeezed up in the crack between a sidewalk and a cinder block wall.


Yeah, it's TWELVE ounces of compromise.

march 18th - 19th

Yesterday I walked to work and back. I had wanted to bring my camera along, take my time walking , and take a few pictures along the way; but I got caught up working on the house all morning, and I was in a hurry by the time I left.

The weather was great; spring like. I wore shorts for the first time this year. On the way home, I could smell a lot of food being cooked on outdoor grills; it even smelled like spring! I think I had forgotten just how nice it is here when the sun comes out. I'm looking forward to the changing of the seasons even more now that I've had a taste.

But for today, the gloom is back.

This morning I walked to work again. On my way I stopped and got a haircut. I had to change my route a bit to include the diversion. It was a nice to follow a different path. It reminded me of how much you miss when you get set in your ways. I think that applies to a lot more than just walking.

I think I'll try another new route tonight after work.

I'll be out of town for the next few days. I'll write about those when I get back.
