Since I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon who did emergency surgery on me, I figured I should take a short drive to see how I feel about it. The drive went well and I enjoyed it. I decided to go by Fern Ridge Lake and the dam that created it. Across the road from the dam is Kirk Pond, so I pulled off the road to a spot where I could try a photo of the pond. As we had a cloudy sky with sunbreaks, the result was a scene with clouds and color. I liked it, and it felt good to be out.
