In Memoriam: Catherine Jamieson
Had To Circle Back
I was waiting at the crosswalk, sort of caught in that spring fugue (when you're so used to winter that every time you step outside it makes you stop and breathe deep for a second) when I noticed that several teenagers who walked past this car either slowed down, circled back or walked around it, glancing backwards.
When I saw the kid on the skateboard come towards it, I got my camera out in case it lured him in as well. It did :) He slowed down and then circled back. He skated away slowly, peered back twice, shook his head. I swear I could hear the sigh.
Made me smile all the way home. Made me smile again when I was cleaning off my CF cards tonight and found it - completely forgotten.
