Stop In For A Bite

Stop In For A Bite

Yesterday I had the afternoon with my granddaughter while my daughter attended a meeting.

We had a good time, including a walk to her favourite café, to stop in for a bite of muffin.

I had just finished a roll of film, and had no replacement, so these pictures are taken with my phone.

I really don’t  like taking pictures with a phone – it feels all wrong. But it is a useful backup.

I previously showed a shot taken here in the Songhees development on this same roll of film.

This shot was taken while walking around, cameras in hand, with Gary of the FilmAdvance photo blog.

I was first testing a medium format camera, but with my Olympus XA2 in my coat pocket.

This forecourt to a hotel is an important stopping point in my granddaughter’s personal geography.

When on foot or in stroller this is a must stop, often for 30 minutes or longer, to watch the fish.

I was meeting her and her mother downtown but after a while decided I should walk the 3 or 4 blocks over here to join them.

This building was catching the light in a way that made me turn around and drive back to see about a picture.

In the end I had to just hold the camera above the fence and my head hoping for good framing.

I like the graduated grey blinds on the outside of the windows, and the yellow is a nice touch.
