GESO (4): Anniversary

2012-02-22 Thread David Mann
Road cones are still a very common sight in our city.  One of the ways people 
commemorated the anniversary today of last year's earthquake was to place 
bunches of flowers in the cones.  I thought it was a simple and beautiful 
gesture.  These pics are of a few cones from our neighbourhood.

I couldn't go very far because of my dodgy leg.  What I thought was a muscle 
injury turned out to be a stress fracture so I'm not allowed to walk too much.

All shot with K10D and A*85mm f/1.4.

The last pic is how I commemorated... by making fresh pasta for dinner in 
Canterbury colours :)  I enjoy making pasta and it's so much better when made 
fresh.  Just a small part of trying to enjoy life by making the most of the 
little things, which is one lesson I learned a year ago.

Cheers,
Dave

Very nice, both the flowers, and your photos.

Not so nice, by the way, about the leg.  I hope it heals quickly and well.

Thanks, it's been a frustrating time.  I enjoy running but have had to rest 
since last December (I'm still allowed to bike on flat roads and swim).  At one 
stage we thought it had healed but I did some short easy running drills and it 
flared up again.  That's when I decided to see the sports doctor instead.

The current thinking is that I can get back to running after we return from our 
honeymoon in mid-March.  It's annoying because I'd been looking forward to 
doing lots of trail running during the summer.

Cheers,
Dave
