Out for a little walk this fine, gray, damp, chilly, late April, oh look, now it’s raining Thursday afternoon. I saw an older couple out for a shuffling jog and I saw them again later as they walked back to their home. It seemed as apt as anything else out there.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of sidewalks and some nice paths in our immediate vicinity. One of those paths is succumbing to a nearby storm pond, and so work must be done. I wonder how many people have been up to this sign and turned around. Not many. Most of us are just walking around it.<\/p>\n

But I do it thinking of an old joke. Enough is enough!<\/p>\n

These won’t be around much longer, so let’s document them now. On a turn in between condos there’s a tree on the corner and whoever lives there probably thinks of it as their tree. And that’s just fine. <\/p>\n

So long as they don’t mind if I stop by taking photos of the blooms every now and then. “Oh, Charles, someone is out there again, taking pictures of our<\/em> tree.”<\/p>\n

These are a bit safer. They’re in our yard. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And thus, they are ours. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Ours. All ours. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

But, still, you want to mind your background. <\/p>\n

Heaven forfend you get the exterior of a neighbor’s house in the shot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
