Just..........Snow...........

(click to enlarge the photo; you can see some of the snowflakes falling!)

Yesterday I was quite venturous for a limping *decrepee* on a cane, knowing I could NOT go out but desperately wanting to capture the feeling of early morning snow and the peaceful countryside and the indescribable quiet that comes with it. How quickly we take things for granted, such as going where we please, when we please, without assistance. Yes, I am supposed to use the red walker all the time but in certain areas, the cane is safer. Especially standing by the open studio door, PJs still on, being blasted with snow and cold and shooting a very few photos. It was wonderful! There was that one moment of feeling like I was my old self, doing exactly what I wanted to do and mostly the delight of holding the camera! (and also knowing DH was probably still sound asleep so I would not be scolded for said transgressions.....heehee!)
This is not elegant photography, nor an award winner, but it is special for me. I will remember it as the first photo, one week to the day after surgery, on my feet and heading back to the land of the kicking, running and otherwise those who manage to find trouble.....A.K.A......Anne-Land. (you're all welcome there!) Yes, I'm behaving quite well, doing what I was told for proper recovery, but little things like this.....you just have to grab the chance!
I will be happy when I can get out here and stir up a good creative mess but in the meantime, my gentle readers shall have to suffice with the boring day-to-day "Brain Plops of a Recovering Old Fart".......sigh......if that I had more to offer.
Until better-brain days, and my wicked wit being fully recovered from the Rx's (because I believe I am temporarily mellowed in a few departments) I ask you bear with me.
It will get more entertaining; I promise!  ;-)
Have a wonderful day....I bid you......

Pax.
