These are scans of a few photos I took from my "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" trip on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021 to the Japanese Garden at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. I used Fuji 400H film, the discontinued color film that has been much mourned by film aficionados. I have to admit, they are not my best compositions, but I was tired, having spent three hours earlier taking photos of the murals at Chicano Park in Barrio Logan, and it was getting close to 4:00 p.m., and I had been walking around all day and wanted to take one color roll, since I had already used so many slide rolls. The garden is beautiful, I was last there on Feb. 29th, 2020, just a few short weeks before the calamity of Covid hit us nationwide and sent us sheltering in place. Today is March 19th, and a year ago, we were cowering in fear and starting to hear about many casualties here in the USA, a country that prides itself on being invulnerable, especially during the Trump years. It was a brutal reckoning, and we are still not out of the woods, but this visit was peaceful for me. The blooms were very colorful. They should be past prime by now.
