I hope the inside and the care there are equally impressive.

And you must be feeling at least a little better if you are back in action with your beloved camera.

The care here is second to none. And everyone knows how to motivate you to your best effort!

My feelings about my status vary! Sometimes I'm optimistic, sometimes less so. I am getting stronger for sure.

These photos were taken with my ancient iPhoto11. I did a bit of post-processing of course.

Well, to be honest, I was out with my occupational therapist to walk around the patio and get some real exercise!

But of course I had my iPhone and I couldn't resist taking a few photos. These buildings surround the medical building where I'm getting my rehab. The last photo shows the entrance to our facility.

This is a beautiful area and I was quite glad to walk outside and really see it.

All these photos were taken with my iPhone 11. Minor post-processing.

Can't really say that I'm feeling more like myself, however. My balance, my ability to swallow super well, and my strength need work. I'm confident that I will accomplish these, and more, but it's going to take a lot of time and energy.

I noticed the blue and yellow umbrellas and immediately thought of the Ukrainian flag, even if that was not their intention.

It’s great to see you back, with wonderful photographs, too.

I admire them all - nice angle on the contrails over the tower in the first one, the shiny pavement, the grass in the planter so vivid, the tiny postman….

Best of all to think of you out and about and seeing things to share with us.

Thanks, Peggy!

Add up the number of rectangles and squares in all of these photos.

Imagine a DU heart from us to you in each rectangle and each square.

Just not enough geometry for all the love.

Take good care! ♥️

Of course your update on your stay in rehab would be incredible pictures of the place! And from an Iphone. That's so awesome. I could have a million dollar camera and not do half as good as you on an Iphone.
Keep on keeponing dear CaliforniaPeggy.
Big Hugs to you.
