This past week, while out on one of my daily walks, I stepped in a pothole and fell like a Giant Redwood. Twisted an ankle, but managed to not bust my arse. Hurt like a mofo the rest of the day, but with ice and taking is easy, I was up and about the next day.
By day two, I tried a short walk. It was going well, only a few twinges… but… about half a mile out and it started raining, hard. It wasn’t supposed to rain. In the long run, it was a good thing. It kept me from pushing too hard and ending back off my feet.
Needless to say, I didn’t get in a photo hike this week. This set, taken exclusively with my Nikon CoolPix while on my walks, includes images I captured within two miles from my home.
(The added bonus to all this walking the past 2.5 weeks, I’m down more than six pounds.)







(Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and/or a Nikon CoolPix S205)

You take pictures of things I love – roadways, paths, manhole covers. Fabulous! six pounds is awesome! Hope the ankle heals quickly.

Love the dock shot. The colors really pop and the reflection is quite interesting. Makes me annoyed that I have snow on the ground LOL. The framing on the bird’s nest is cool too, really like the fact that it isn’t quite centered.
