A squirrel perched in the hollow of a broken, burned out tree stump and watched as we walked along the forest trail darkened by shadows of clouds. Moments later, a small airplane flew over, and I stopped to watch it go by. I have been attracted to aircraft since childhood. My dad had learned toContinue reading “What Ever Happened to…?”

Invitation
The trail winding through the Florida Greenway offered an invitation for our feet to wander through the woods. How could we possibly say no? #walk #woods #floridagreenway #invitation
Berry Beautiful
A quiet walk through the woods often conjures serenity that can last through the rest of the day, especially when treated to scenes like this. #beautyberry #serenity #walk #woods
Nevertheless
It may officially be called a “lesser goldfinch” but it seemed really great to us when we spotted it during a recent walk. It is the first time we had seen one of these, and it took more than a little searching to identify it. Even though called “lesser,” it was a grand sight toContinue reading “Nevertheless”
An After Breakfast Still Life
After the breakfast dishes were cleared from the table I had a little free time before we went for our morning walk, so I did what I usually do. When we returned from the walk, this scene caught my eye. Typical. #ukulele #breakfast #morning #walk
Upside Downy
We were nearly home from a morning walk when the rapid tap-tap-tap of a small woodpecker drew our eyes upward. A downy woodpecker dangled from a small, broken branch directly overhead as it pecked and dined on the larvae it found. Then it ascended slowly, spiraling around the vertical branch, stopping now and then toContinue reading “Upside Downy”
100 Down, 900 to Go
Yesterday, during our morning walk, we crossed the 100 mile mark for this year. That means we have 900 left go go for the 2024. That may sound like a lot of walking, but for us it is a lot of happy wandering. PS–Happy Groundhog Day! #hike #walk #woods #100miles
999
As of this morning, we have walked 999 miles this year; tomorrow we will reach our annual goal of 1000 miles and then some. It is good exercise but more importantly, it is great fun. Besides, it is really nice knowing that when my wife tells me to “go take a hike,” she usually wantsContinue reading “999”
Morning Thunder
This morning we noticed threatening clouds in the distance with an occasional flash of lightning veiled behind the clouds. We walked anyway with eyes to the western horizon, warily watching the orange billows slowly enlarging as they approached. Then thunder could be heard gradually growing louder and louder, and streamers of rain could be seenContinue reading “Morning Thunder”
Waking the Doc
This photo was taken with about 2 miles left to go in our morning walk yesterday, February 28, 2023. On return home we had gone a total of 201 miles so far this year. Yes, we’re a little ahead of schedule for our annual goal of 1,000 miles, but that will make up for daysContinue reading “Waking the Doc”
