Breaking for lunch

rolanniSo, I've written some, and taken an evening walk to shake up the brain cells. I think I'll have lunch now, rather than trying to remember to interrupt myself again, in an hour.
Miles on the day thus far: 5. That's pretty good. It's easier to walk in town. I may have said that before.
Speaking of walking, and of cameras that run out of batteries at inopportune moments. . .
This morning, besides depriving me of a picture of Bo, who was certainly the single most photogenic thing I've seen in town so far, I lost the opportunity of. . .
A youngish, but no longer young woman, with longish and bedraggled too-blonde hair, wearing a pink OOB sweatshirt and shorts. She's at the sad beginning of a day following a bitter night, and she's sitting on the concrete ledge of a building at the end of a parking lot, huddled over her cigarette like it's her last ray of hope. Next to her on the wall of the building is a sign: Dead End
. . .
On this evening's walk, camera-less (Yes, yes, I could have taken the big camera, but it's...big, and I can't hold it steady anymore. The little camera has shake control.), I passed a tree that has woven its roots in and threw through a stone wall that's keeping a small hill from sliding across the sidewalk. I'm going to have to walk that way again, with a camera; it was Absolutely Amazing.
...and with that, I'm getting that sandwich, and then I'm getting back to work.
I hope everybody has a good evening.

Date: 2012-09-11 12:47 am (UTC)Sasha was not trained to alert me to the phone and doorbell; she just does it. I suspect she figured that I needed Proper Supervision and Management. It is rather difficult to ignore 22 pounds of Maine Coon mix sitting on ones chest, not to mention morning tuna breath in ones face. Eesh.
