This was the last photo I took during yesterday's walk when the police shockingly stopped me: https://pbase.com/britestar/image/169952991
Because the battery of my Bridge camera died, I took out the Cell Phone. No Zoom ability there. So to get a close up, I didn't stay out in the street this time; as I had done for my other photos of the day. Instead, I had to walk up the property owner's driveway and even get within 1o feet of their house. Plus I shot this image in the direction of the house. Can you tell? Bad, bad girl!!!
However all was okay. It was my own driveway.
After the initial anger of being harassed yesterday came confusion and upset. If the incident had happened outside my own neighborhood, I could have easily brushed it off & forgotten it. Unfortunately, things are now in limbo & I don't understand why what-happened happened.
But I have decided to just go on as normal. I will walk where I want, continue to take photos from the street, and still give a friendly wave to any neighbor who drives past me.
BTW, this dogwood tree is the ONLY Fall color in our yard this year. It's been such a strange year weather wise. Either the trees just dropped their leaves, or else they are still green. Snow tomorrow and temps in the 20's. We're then looking toward several straight days in the 20's. So the growing season really is totally over.
