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.)

Congrats on the weight loss! I am really glad that your ankle is doing better, too. These shots are awesome– point and shoots can do okay, I guess! That, or the handler is AWESOME 😉
