True Grit!

I ventured out early this morning for the first time since the accident, and walked down to Dutch Bros. to get a latte. I can't drive yet, so I took my first walk instead. I did pretty well too, though I felt a bit wobbly. It had rained a bit overnight and I liked how this parking lot drain looked in the dim glow from the lights overhead.
Thanks for all the encouragement and well wishes!

Really wonderful lines and sparkles, Vern. Isn't it amazing that black can look white when it's wet and the light hits it? ;)

This shot reminds me of the movie"The third man" it as the same eerie mood.
