24 Hours.

Please click on photos to enlarge.

 

Busy 24 hours. I didn’t capture it all, but these are a few glimpses of times in between doing things. The arm was a truly freakish accident and yes I was literally “skinned.” The view with
the lovely young woman in silhouette was at the International Institute between Chapala and Ajijic. I was actually trying to get a show of the hillside outside the open door, but people kept walking in front of it. So, I started clicking them and especially liked this woman’s body language. The lower garden shot shows the progress of Quetzacoatl so far and also the other end of the garden. The dog is Coco in her first shot of the day, snuggled down on the pillows near my right ear, and the anonymous head shot even I don’t understand. Cannot remember how I took the photo or exactly where but those look like the colors in my bathroom, although there is no dome in the ceiling.  Magic. If you feel the wound shot is uncalled for please let me know and I’ll remove it. It isn’t so much a call for sympathy as just amazement that I could be skinned by an everyday object like that. Okay, Yuck. I grossed you out again….(If you are wondering about the weird color of my skin, I had put makeup on my arm to cover up the bruises earlier in the day.)

State of the Leg

For those who asked, here is the state of the leg 24 hours later. Swelling down. Doesn’t hurt except when my masseur forgot a couple of times this morning and touched it. Then, Ouch!!! That said, I promise no more photos of sore subjects…

Looks sort of like bad graffiti, doesn’t it? This is what happens when you slip going between the pool and hot tub! A fast application of ice and elevation saved the day!  These photos were taken  11 hours later—swelling almost gone. What an inappropriate bid for sympathy! See the fuller story HERE.
