A Day

I awoke ~6 both to a fog and also in somewhat of a brain fog, as you shall see. Fog appeals to photographers, so I thought I should go out with the camera. Without much of an idea of where to go, I decided on the nearby trail from where I went down to the riverbank. As you can see, it was, indeed, very foggy. It wasn't blue out, but due to a decision in post, it is blue in the photo. I added the colour cast because gray fog is rather bland. I like it this way.

Then I photographed one of the footbridges along the trail.

I wasn't feeling inspired, so I got back into the car, drove to another spot for a different view, and limped my limpy way onto that section of the trail The path looked okay-ish for a photo, so I set up my tripod. When I reached for the camera which should have been by my side, it wasn't there. Go figure! The photographer had left his camera in the car!

Said photographer limped back to the car and drove home in resignation.

As I write this a day later, and a ay before you read it, I just went downstairs for cereal. I brought the dish back upstairs sans both milk and spoon. Sigh.

Much later, for a late lunch, we decided to make a sandwich and drive to a picnic spot. The two far-flung parks that we drove to first were busy, so back to our town we came to our own Riverside park, which is probably the nicest one. We ate our sandwiches and listened to music.

Our selfie.

Our view directly across the river.

As we sat, enjoying the weather and the view, I contemplated that two 74-year-olds were keeping up with the times fairly well by listening to mp3 music from a phone and played over a bluetooth speaker.

Then we dropped in on Danica to see her new ear piercings. Now that things have opened up more, she was able to claim her three-month-old birthday present that her mother promised back in April.

She had the two new piercings done the day before.

It was a pretty good day despite some fumbles and bumbles. 

On this next morning, I arose at 4:30 this morning, hoping for another photo op, but the weather kept me at home, thus beginning what will be a stay-at-home day for which there was no reason to arise so early.

And now, I have absent-mindedly let my coffee go cold while writing this post. Heaven help me.
