Summer

Spring of 2019 I hurt my back, little did I know that was only the tip of the iceberg. I had much more wrong than a pulled back muscle. The doctors would discover that I had a nasty bacterial infection, diabetes, and glaucoma in one eye. I was a mess. I spent two months in hospital. I lost from 180lbs down to 133 lbs. I could not really do anything for myself.

 

Skip forward a year into recovery and walking is a big deal to me. So every morning I grab my rollator and take a walk. Some mornings it is slow and painful, and others I am full of curiosity. I like taking my camera because I never know what I may find.

 

This morning I found this wonderful Sunflower in bloom. I stopped to create an image. This pause in my walk opened up a conversation with my neighbour. The conversation reminded me that photography has always been my given way to communicate. It is also the way I prefer to meet new people because it opens in a pleasant way.

 

A walker, a camera and a curious mind...What a wonderful way to start the day.
