No longer a shut in

I've been down with the flu since last Saturday night, but hey I finally made it outside today! I'm serious, I have not left the house in five days, so this was a big deal. I was feeling pretty crummy this afternoon but I had an errand to run downtown and it couldn't be put off. It was a beautiful, sunny day and I was so happy to be outdoors, even if only for a few minutes. I took this photo from Arts Alley. Downtown was curiously almost deserted. I had to wait for quite a while for a pedestrian to walk into my frame.
