Something a Little Different

Yesterday  I could walk better, bought a pair of cleatswith feet of light rubber that stretch  right over the tops of the toes of my boots and above the heels with four studs under the ball of my  foot and two under the heels. I felt much more confident although I did slip slightly a couple of times sideways,just slightly. It was so nice to stride down the path rather than precariously  inch along. This was the first picture I got yesterday when I went out after having  lunch with friends.It is always so important for  me to get my “nature fix’ especially after a week of work. I relax more , I feel happy, it feels good to breathe the fresh air and it feels good to get some exercise. The problems of the week slough off  and I get rejuvenated and usually meet people along the way that are enjoyable to engage with because they too are out there in a relaxed state.I return home feeling grateful and ready to get back tothe other things that I like to do but may create a little more stress . Maybe this photo is a message to me to “lighten up.”

I hand held the camera using a 300mm lens -no image stabilizer,just a fast shutter speed. but still a little soft.Frankly i am not too worried about that.
