7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.

Good morning. Yesterday was a test photo walk for me, and these are unedited shots from that walk. My meandering walk, a little under 3 miles, lasted around one hour. I took 190 photos, and I arbitrarily pared that number down to 75 here. I plan on editing the ones I like and posting some of them tomorrow. I just used the Windows 10 "Video Editor" for this post.
I used was the SLR Canon Rebel T3 my daughter bought for me around 10 years ago? I Love that camera!! Hopefully I will continue shooting with it for the rest of my life. I mostly use my 55-250mm telephoto lens, and the "Auto" setting. If I need more of a wide angle or pano shot, I have a little Canon digital or I just use my iPhone.

I stopped in a stairwell again yesterday morning, when I was doing my newspaper boy routine. Holding my cell phone up to the window, these were shots of our little Main street going up the hill. I also had my GoPro recording, and I'm going to see if I got anything interesting today.

I just returned from my morning walk. I walked East (right, from the Orange teardrop Bothell marker) to the UW Campus, explored the campus, and then walked down the S shaped road back to the Sammamish River Trail. I then walked home, West along the river. This bus stop is on the UW campus, the wooded area between Bothell and the large white bldg on the right. :) I need to update my MapMyWalk" app...








miscellaneous, from my walk yesterday morning...

These are sort of blah photos, but I feel bad sometimes when the throwaways are passed over for the more "scenic"? ones :) I took these just after walking by the Facemask sign photo I posted the other day.

Going back a few weeks in my photos, more of looking up, into, and through the trees...

My brother and I stopped by the Hillcrest Bakery after our walk this morning. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee with their specialty Apple Fritters. This photo is looking south, and the dark forested area across the street is Bothell's Landing Park where the bridge I posted photos of yesterday is located.





 I went on a short photo walk the other day to show our revised walk route along the river. Re - since the old bridge across the street was removed, and the new bridge was put together on site and hoisted up by a humongous crane, and placed near the old site. We now have to walk along the main road, walk down over the regular road bridge and cut back down the Sammamish River Trail there. The trail in the G Earth photo is hidden by the tree line and the old bridge is just below the letter a in ..."Playground". I like walking, and our detour only takes 10-15 minutes or so.ps - Mr Covid put a hold on opening our new bridge, which was originally scheduled to open last Spring?
