"An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." I wholeheartedly agree. There is a 3+ mile route, close to home, that I walk frequently. The route takes me through a suburban neighborhood, around a lake, along a busy thoroughfare, down a road, (which I'm sure was once considered, "the boondocks") and back home again. Sometimes I take this walk with my friend and neighbor. We chat and gossip for the entire 3+ miles and it's better than therapy. Sometimes I take this walk alone and use the time to sort through my mental inbox, to shake off pent up anxieties, and on a good day, to notice and enjoy the sights and sounds this walk provides, day after day, season after season, year after year. Late summer is perhaps my favorite time to take this walk, especially at the blush of dawn, when the air is cool and the morning commute is not yet in full swing. On occasion I snap a photo or two with my phone. What follows are sights I've happened to notice lately.
One of many, very friendly cats.
Two, always hungry, horses.
A border of flowers that arches over my path.
Preparations for winter.
An area of aviaries.
Studio update:
My once tidy studio is presently a jumble of sketches and books and pens and pencils. I'm working on ideas for what may turn out to be a series of prints. It's been a while since I've thrown an idea at the wall and had it stick, so I'm intrigued and excited. And that's all I'm going to say for while I'm not superstitious, I don't want to jinx myself.
Say no more, but I'm looking forward to it :)
