<\/p>\nTradition.<\/p>\n
It’s becoming traditional for me to post a photo or two of Shannon when she makes a trip to Utah to visit her ol’ dad, especially since her accident and resulting brain injury six years ago when we very nearly lost her. So at the risk of making Feathered Photography come across as a wannabe Facebook clone I decided to continue the tradition today.<\/p>\n
After all, I get the impression that many of my readers have become emotionally invested to some degree in her progress and welfare so how could I not provide a pictorial update.<\/p>\n

Colors are off<\/em><\/p>\n Shannon, on the left, and Tiffany have been the closest of friends since their high school days here in Utah over 30 years ago but since Shannon moved away they rarely get to see each other. So yesterday, on her way to work, Tiffany stopped by for a much anticipated visit. Tiffany is a delightful person and it did my heart good to hear the two of them gabbing away and laughing like the dear old friends that they are.<\/p>\n Yes, for these photos I removed the Black-billed Magpie photo that’s usually hanging above my fireplace. I’ve taken far too many photos of me and others wearing a “magpie hat”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cell phone photo. Colors are off<\/em><\/p>\n Shannon and her ol’ geezer dad. And yes, I wear white socks with my Birkenstocks. They work for me and I’ve never been known as a clothes horse anyway. Besides, I have a ‘reputation’ to live up to.<\/p>\n Shannon’s visit was brief (she flew home last night) but it was just what we both needed, especially during the holidays and after such a long, pandemic-enforced separation. We both hope we don’t have to wait so long for our next reunion.<\/p>\n Ron<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Addendum: In a comment below a newbie to Feathered Photography has reminded me that some folks don’t know “Shannon’s story”. Here’s a link to an older post<\/a><\/span><\/span> that fills in some of the blanks. And yes, in the photo in that post I’m wearing the infamous “magpie hat”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tradition.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/featheredphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shannon-and-ron.jpg\")
