Photos I’ve taken of scenery, interesting objects and other things.

Walk 54: Also unplanned

I didn’t plan exactly on doing a walk today, and when I did decide to head out I didn’t plan on doing any running.

So I went out, and I did do some running here and there, so my pace is faster than the last walk, breaking the 9:00/km mark, which ain’t gonna happen if I’m only walking unless I suddenly grow giraffe-length legs, which would admittedly be funny and also horrifying.

The weather was very similar to last time–pleasantly warm, but not nearly hot like we’ve seen so much this summer.

I took a few pics while out (this is easier when you’re walking than running) and will post one below the stats. Speaking of stats, here they are!

Photo of the Day: Flower up close and personal

Removing the date from the title of the post because I am more often that not posting these photos later than the day on which they were taken, making the title a LIE and a SHAM.

This was taken at the Nature house at Burnaby Lake on August 14, 2021. I basically wanted to get as close as I could and as straight-on to the flower as possible.

Photo of the Day, June 25, 2021

Yeah, I’m five days late on this photo. I was busy sweating. A lot.

Some kid is now rubbing their eyes, unable to shield the glare of the sun.

(Actually, perhaps not. The sunglasses are now gone, possibly returned to the owner, or maybe they’re now being worn by some dog, ala Spuds Mackenzie. Or Poochie.)
