Lost and Found

Late this afternoon, my wife informed me that she lost a wrap-around bracelet while we walked earlier. I couldn’t have that and insisted on going out searching for the accoutrement, starting by retracing our route in reverse. About 10 minutes later, I found the lost item on the sidewalk below where she pressed the button to cross Florida Street along El Cajon Blvd. A brewery sits at the corner, and people mulled all about. I was surprised that no one had whisked away the pretty little thing.

I snatched up the bracelet in a smooth motion as I gleefully strutted one shoe after another. With all the turmoil going on around us during the post-pandemic and early economic crisis era, moments where I feel sense of control of something are rewarding.

While triumphantly walking home, I stopped and used iPhone 13 Pro to capture the Featured Image and companion. Vitals: f/1.5, ISO 50, 1/7463 sec, 26mm; 3:37 p.m. PST. The other is the same but 1/308 sec and one-minute later; shady spot versus the first’s sunshine.
