No friends around today
Into town
I took myself into town today.
Not to shop, not really to photograph, but to at least meet someone to talk to.
It turned into a cup of coffee.
And no one to chat with.

No friends around today
One picture, barely
Then I walked around for a while to put together some kind of picture.
I barely managed that.
People stood waiting at the bus stop, a man sat on a bench with a bird a few metres away, and no one said anything to anyone.

The camera that stayed behind
I had meant to bring the other camera along too, a Canon R6 with a 70-200 2.8.
But with my hands full and my head busy not losing the keys again, it stayed at home.
So it had to be the camera I did have with me.
Södra Björnön
Södra Björnön
In the end I drove out to Södra Björnön.
Sat there a while, had a fruit break and got an ounce of forest bathing.
The day brought no conversation.
But it brought a day.
