Walking on broken toe...

Okay, not sure if my toe is broken or not, but my little toe is about the size of my big toe and it’s black and blue all over. I thought I could be as nimble as the cats and while chasing them down to play, I rammed my foot against the coffee table in the living room. Brilliant, so what did we decide to do? We went for a walk at the park. We were told there is a way to access Lake Accotink off of Huntsman here in West Springfield, but we have yet to find it. We walked, for sure, took a nice stroll through a town house complex toting along our cameras, looking like tourists. We even elicited some interesting looks from a woman sitting in her backyard sipping tea under her deck umbrella... it looked like she was wearing a bathrobe, scary.

We walked for a good half hour, no Lake Accotink. The walking wasn’t that bad, my little toe was taped to the toe next to it, so it didn’t really move that much and at the end of the day, it felt okay. No dramatic end of story, other than the fact that we have yet to find the mystical entry into Lake Accotink from the vicinity of our neighborhood... I think we were being led on. We did capture some interesting photos, which I posted on my photoblog here . I love shooting in black and white. Colors are great, especially when you’re surrounded by vibrant greens, blues, and sunrise/sunsets, but you don’t get to focus on the actual image like you do with black and white. Just my opinion, of course...
