I am daring to make two Pedestrian Posts in the same week, because we are enjoying a short stretch of the most beautiful weather. In fact, as I type this I am sitting on my front porch, enjoying a slight breeze and the tune it plays on my wind chimes. I ran yesterday but had less oomph today. Finally I said, oh just go take a walk. I hoped it would improve my disposition.
I had my phone with me, because I use the Map My Run app to track my walks and runs. It makes a map, which I post on Facebook, so my friends and family can amuse themselves and me by saying what it looks like. I had not thought to take any pictures till I paused right below a gorgeously colored tree. Would a picture come out?
It did!
There were two trees, so I walked by them and took a shot of both.
Twinsies!
As I started to continue my walk, I heard a voice say, “That’ll cost you $45!” An old man (he may actually have been my age, but I’ve been told I am old) came up the driveway and said it would cost me $45 to take the picture.
“Oh, OK, just send me a bill,” I said. I usually don’t argue with these things. The man told me how he had planted the trees about six years ago. I said I remembered seeing them when they were just small. We agreed that they are beautiful now.
I saw other beautiful trees and some delightful Halloween decorations as I continued my walk. I would like to go for another walk when it is dark, so I can enjoy the ones with lights or glow-in-the-dark. I did not take any more pictures, because my sister Diane called me, and I did not like to put her on hold for a photo op.
It was a very pleasant walk, and, I hope, a pleasant blog post. As for me, I am going to continue my porch sitting for a while. Maybe a cute dog will walk by and I can pet it!
