My weekend walks

On the weekends I like to walk this trail that is close to my apartment. I brought my camera along last weekend so I could share it with you. I walk about 3 miles. Are you ready to go?









There's a lot of wild life to see...
Those are stray cats but some lady comes out and feeds them regularly.

This trail goes all the way to those mountains you see in the background (up by Lexington for those of you locals)! When I was in better shape I used to do that end of it. It's a great workout climbing those hills! Hopefully I'll be back up there soon!

I'll have Show and Tell Friday up by 8:00 pm PST tonight for those of you that want to join in!

Wow I am tired,that means I walked
6 miles today...That was the most
beautiful 3 mi. I have ever walked.
The 3 I walked this morning certainly did not look like that.
Wished I could walk that one every
day,but guess I'll have to settle
for mine.Those flowers are beautiful.Your walk goes faster
when you have something that beautiful to look at.:o)

I could be tempted to walk regularly if I had such a pretty place to walk. Don't think I'd make it 3 miles though. I'm impressed you can do that far on flat land much less up hill. Loved the tree with all the initials on it. A lot of history there.

Teri said...

Wow! Very nice place to walk.

Karin said...

What a beautiful area you live in! I recently read the color green is healing and surrounding yourself with nature is the best stress relief.

Such a beautiful place. And you got leaves on the trees and flowers still. Its al lgone here now. But the comfort lies in my boxes with xmas decorations. Its time for all.
Beautiful stray cats, a minute there I almost thought you had some kind of cat type I havent seen before. Good theres a lady looking after them.
Love the tree with all the names. Thats life on a birghter side.
Have a wonderful evening.=)

What a pretty place to walk. The kitties look healthy to be strays. Glad someone is looking after them. Thanks for taking us along.

Dear Cindy....How kind of you to send the camera information. Thank you SO MUCH. Your photos are gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. Regarding the email, I wonder why it bounced back. Did you use writingstraightfromtheheart.blog.com? Hmmmm. Thanks again! Love your incredible blog! Sincerely, Susan

What a lovely walk! I don't know why but I always thought of Silicon Valley as being mostly desert and having little greenery. Wow..this is not at all what I imagined. Gorgeous photos too!!
