Intrepid

1/24/20 Maple Leaf neighborhood

The days and days of relentless rain were starting to get to me. My weather app said it would be dry for about an hour: Certainly enough time for a sketch, so I dashed out the door. Just a few blocks from home, this was my reward!

I knew the excavator would be swiveling back and forth repeatedly, pausing briefly in the same two positions, so I caught a couple of gestures (though in my haste, I see now that I forgot the second track on one!). Less than 15 minutes later, it started raining again, so that was the end of my sketch, but it felt great to get outdoors.

I have been called “intrepid,” but it’s really just low tolerance for cabin fever.
