Long Walks Through the Suburbs...

...yeah, it sounds lame. But it's actually a fun experience when one has a camera.

Since I'm still getting over this cold, I've decided to play it safe and wait until I feel well enough to pick back up on my training and run. Not running is a terrible crime, but relapses are much worse.
Yesterday, I was itching to at least walk around.

So I grabbed my Nikon, and dashed out the door.
It was a gorgeous day. The only downer was that the sky was grey.
Shorts in February? You can't go wrong.


I ended up walking 4 miles; it takes a long time to cover that much ground when you're pausing every few steps to get a shot. I stopped about 400 times. That's a lot of pictures to sort through. I am so glad for digital photography and a computer that can rapidly shuffle through pictures.

While I'm still weeding through the other pictures, I'd like to share these.  Yesterday, I came upon a host of sparrows.
(It's a bit hard to see them in the smaller pictures, but clicking = hi-res...)
