She Escaped Containment! Again!

...and this time, I brought a camera with me!

I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning. Sure, the swelling is still there (albeit slowly reducing in intensity).

And I'm slow.

And, and, and.

It didn't matter though: I made a goal of two blocks today. I would wander down to Minto Park with my Canon EOS Kiss Lite and a roll of Kodak Gold and make 24 photos of whatever familiarity moved me.

…and she's back!

Twenty-four minutes and twenty-four frames. Nothing of any real value committed to this film, but that wasn't the point.

Now to spend more quality time with an ice pack… 🧊

Under any other circumstances, I would not have bothered making photos here. The scenery is a little too familiar. But as healing continues and it has been a long time since I went without making photos (3 weeks, 1 day), it felt right.

And if felt good.
