Walk in Wonder
It’s late autumn in the far southern part of the United States. I’m enjoying late afternoon walks near my house and here are ten things I’ve noticed while walking.
A Late Winter Walk
The world is but a canvas to the imagination. – Henry David Thoreau A few days before the official start of spring, I took a walk at one of my favorite places, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. The shadows were lovely, even though the trees are still bare. The crocus were in bloom – just…
A Walk With Mom
Dear kind and gentle readers – yes, it’s once again me, the beagle. I’m really liking Mom being home during the day. Why? Because she’s taking me for a walk nearly every day. Oh such joy – I get to check pee mail! Poop on the neighbors lawns! And best of all, I’m finding all…
Spring Reminds Us That Life Goes On
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. Hans Christian Andersen This week’s six word Friday uses the word “flowers” and it perfectly describes my Friday at Colonial Williamsburg: Flowers bloom ~ bees comes ~ life continues. I took the day off from work to chase the light. The…
A Walk In November (Autumn Sounds)
This week’s Six Word Friday uses the word “sound”, something I was thinking about after my walk last weekend at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens: Autumn has more sounds than expected. I don’t know why, but I was expecting a quiet, contemplative walk around the gardens, enjoying silence and beauty. The beauty was there, but…
A Fall Walk
I love spending time on the weekends at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. Although they’re not big, they have a lot there and it changes every week. More and more I realize though that I don’t go there to think, meditate or even contemplate. I find that as I wander around with my camera, my brain is…
A Walk In March
I took a walk at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens recently and thought you might like to come with, if for no other reason than to get some spring colors to cheer your day. I nearly didn’t go – the sky started out a flat, dull gray which matched my mood. When the sky cleared,…
Walking During Lunch
These last several weeks have been unseasonably warm. I enjoy walking during lunch for my exercise and thought you might like to see Brown’s Island and the canal off the James River in downtown Richmond. This is the bridge I take across to get to the island, shown from the far end. Click here for…
Secretly, I’d Rather Be Outside
The weather unexpectedly turned cooler this week. It was so nice! Days were in the upper 70’s, evenings in the mid-50’s. It made for better sleeping and much nicer walks for my lunch. I was up early yesterday and spent a few minutes on the deck to pray and do my devotions. Secretly, I’d rather…
