Hi Slim! Thanks for dropping in - you're doing great! Almost at goal.
:)

Sun Feb 24
 

I did go for a 30 min walk this AM - busy today so I'll post my pics later. Oscar night which went into extra innings LOL - time to fall into bed.
So here are Sunday AM's photos: the ditch! Terribly exciting, I know.

Somebody was testing their spray paint on the bushes - maybe they work for the white queen!

Daffodils in bloom already. Everything is too early here...but they're pretty.

Artemis! I have Artemis for a neighbor! How cool is that?

And the sun is coming up.

I've been cold today - so didn't feel like going out - plus a lot of noisy screaming kids outside. So I put on Pandora and danced for 30 min, then heard a song I loved and HAD to dance some more -just kept going. Probably got in 40 min.

Wed Feb 27
 

I took a 20 min walk at lunch today - sun was surprisingly hot and I covered up so I wouldn't burn. I like to get out and take pics but will probably wait til sunset or before sunrise to walk. Some of the pics I took wouldn't send from my phone because "exceeded maximum file limit"...not all of them say that so I don't know what the difference is or what that means. The pics would have been of a cherry tree in bloom and a birds nest in another tree. I added a pic I didn't post from Sunday to round it out a bit here.

This dead pine has been in the parking lot a long time...

And a plane flies overhead - I hope they are going somewhere fun...

I went for a walk as the sun was setting tonight. Still fighting a bug, but wanted to get out in the air. I did 40 min - there was a cherry tree I wanted to photograph but wasn't sure how far up the road it was. I did make it- turned around there. I took a main street today - busy! Need to get something reflective - dogs have those blinky lights for their collars...hmmm.
Dried flowers along the backroad - with a little imagination they could be baby's breath? (ok, a lot..) I thought they looked pretty.

Maybe a crab apple? tree budding out as the sun sets...[IMG][/IMG]
I walked past one of my old apartments - above a business where I used to work

A creeper vine climbing over a wall...

And the cherry tree in bloom I wanted to walk to. It was almost too dark to photograph, but the sky is such a beautiful periwinkle color here!

You make me want to walk and take pics. I'll do it tomorrow, maybe.

Fo some reason pics did not come through but must be something having to do with internet here...slow. Your walk sounds nice...and a cherry tree for a reward. I love periwinkle. Good going!

Hi Ann! Thanks for stopping by - hey we can walk and take pics together anytime :) It keeps things more interesting for me. Another idea would be books on tape but I'd need a new Walkman. I kind of like looking for interesting things to photograph.

Thanks Vicki - you'll be able to see them when you get home, I'm sure. The sky is absolutely that color. One of my favorite colors. I drive past that cherry tree everyday and wondered if I could get to it tonight...

Sat Mar 2
 

It's overcast today (my kind of weather) so I went out earlier than usual for a walk. I walked for 40 min - part of the walk was a grade so I felt the burn!
It was dark enough for a lamp to be lit this early in the day...[IMG][/IMG]
Pink blossoms! Our winter is spring to the other side of the country..[IMG][/IMG]
Bridge going into the park...

This is Chase - his teenage owner said he was in a Browns (labs) calendar so he is a celebrity dog!

Oh...cherry blossoms! How beautiful! Cute chocolate lab...I have one too!
Good for you keeping on the exercise!

Your pictures are fun! Flowers blooming, trees just ready to bud, making new friends! LOL
It will be interesting to see the coming of spring, and heavy leafed summer through your lens.

Yes, its habit now - and I'm in the challenge group for 2 hrs a week, so I have to! You have a chocolate lab??? How fun - they are so energetic :)

Thanks Arlene :) I have a good time taking them. The dog was following me into the street so I walked back across the bridge and then asked if I could take his picture. I had a jonquil pic but I moved and it turned out blurry.
It'll be fun to do this thru the seasons.
