I spent most of the day at the hospital waiting for a particular surgeon to show up. At four o’clock we still hadn’t seen the whites of his eyes. Since Mom came a few hours after I did, and Ta-Shi needed to be fed, I left and headed home. Fortunately, the hospital is about five minutes from the house and I arrived in no time at all. I fed the dog, grabbed my camera, slapped on my 50mm lens, and did one last shoot around the patio.

I fly home tomorrow morning.
