I’ve wanted to post a photo from this series ((a small series of 3)) for a while now, but thought it best to wait until it was actually winter before I depress everyone. This photo above doesn’t necessarily hold any sentimental meaning for me but I do quite like it. And obviously, the 147 people who have viewed it on flickr agree ((because they clicked on it from the front page – at least thats my assumption)).
When I look at this photo it reminds me that I don’t walk around my neighbourhood enough - I see people’s hosues while I’m driving by but its not the same. When I was living in Dublin, I had to walk through my entire neighbourhood since I didn’t have a car and I miss it. I miss walking by people’s houses, and people working on their yard or even just coming home.
I don’t know if I will do this more often, especially in the winter, but I hope I do. The problem is that there is nothing near my house to walk to. There is a park that I can walk through but there aren’t even any swings in it. Its just a dog park, and across from it is a field that people use for soccer with electrical towers across it. The closest mall to me isn’t that great ((its what’s considered an ‘old person’s mall’)). I could walk to Wal-Mart, but I’ve decided to boycott the place even before the trampling incident. So I go to Loblaw Superstore instead, but there is no way I could walk there.
If I’m determined enough, I will get to this though. Its just a matter of convincing myself that I want to.
Do you go for walks? Even in the winter?

But there isn’t really much where I live either unfortunately. I used to like that at uni it was much busier.
So you want to know more about me? Aside from "fragileheart", I'm also known as Reg, or Reggy. I'm Canadian by passport, and Filipino-Chinese by blood but I've always felt a person of the world. With 28 years of 'life' under my belt, I know better than to think that I know everything there is to know in the world - but I still have my opinions.
In my neck of the woods, going for walks (especially at night) are a big no-no. If you do go walking you might return without your phone, watch, purse or anything else. There is always the chance that you might not return at all. Sad, but it is true.
You go for walks, I will check out your pictures.
You have got me all depressed now, it is time for my monthly letter to the damn politicians regarding the crime rate. These letters do not help but they make me feel better.
