Scenic to downtown and back, Lethbridge, Alberta First day of working from home due to the pandemic, and I know how lucky I am to be able to do so. Months of sore-footed not-walking have to end, because my lungs and mind demand a walk, even a sore-footed one. Lungs and mind are tight from too much news; neither can expand properly sitting inside with constant updates. Breathing fresh cold air relaxes lungs first, then nerves, then mind. And my eyes need to contact shapes and shadows and colour and light. The world is still right here, as ordinary and beautiful as always. Location: near Scenic Drive to downtown and back, Lethbridge, Alberta

Thank you for the ordinary beauty of your photos. Looking forward to sharing more walks in the weeks to come (my post is still in progress--will share with the group at the end of the week).
