[Leica] IMGS: A short walk

[Herbert Kanner]

For a few weeks now, I’ve had lower back pain to the level that I wouldn’t consider walking even a quarter mile. After some physical therapy, especially a well-known (but not to me) recommendation to stiffen my belly as if I was fending off a punch, I discovered a new ability to ambulate and decided to try it out this afternoon. Simultaneously, being inspired by some of the prolific LUGers, I decided to shoot every thing I saw of interest in a short walk. So, please have a look.

First, an oak that I posted a few years ago, but this is a new shot.

A gingko branch.

The city fathers decided there were too many stupid people around, and these yellow additions to the stop signs suddenly appeared

Who can resist a Porsche? I then saw one in the next block, but I figured one was enough. Of course, if it had been one of those Porsche SUVs, I would have shot it and title the picture “Blasphemy”.

This puzzled me, but having never seen the like of it before, I took a shot. Checked the web site. Turns out it is kind of broad, allegedly preparing for everything from a crime wave to an earthquake.

Shy blossom hiding away. What is it?

Delicate blossom. Also, what is it?
