I took a walk with my phone on Sunday, thinking to make a Pedestrian Post. I don’t see any reason not to makes the post now (for the record, it is early Wednesday morning and I failed to make my Tired Tuesday post) (me and my obsession with accuracy). Sunday was perhaps the last beautiful unseasonably warm day, and I decided to take advantage of it, waiting till the sun was up to take my stroll.
I suppose it would be a stay-cation if I stayed here, but I would like to.
On a walk some time ago, I wanted to get a picture of the Grand Colonial Bed and Breakfast, to give them a shout-out, but could not get a good shot from across the street. Sunday, I was on the right side of the road. I have been inside there (when I wrote about them for Mohawk Valley Living magazine). It is beautiful! And I’ve seen the breakfast menu: Wow!
Another view.
Continuing down German Street, I turned left onto Main. I wanted to walk up the hill, where it is only open to local and pedestrian traffic. I like the exertion of walking up a hill, although I admit I can get too much of a good thing.
As usual, the picture does not seem as steep as it seems to me when I am walking or running up it.
They recently paved it. I wondered if that means they are going to do something about the area on top of the hill, where the road is partially collapsed.
This section has been collapsed for some time now.
I see they added a branch to the barricade. As usual, I interpreted it to mean it was closed to vehicular traffic, not middle-aged pedestrian ladies (other pedestrians, too, of course, but I was the only one there at the time).
Pretty!
As I continued my walk, I took care to appreciate the color that yet remains on our trees. This time of year, I feel I must just look and look, because it lasts such a short time.
I don’t know why this caught my eye.
Bare trees and dead trees have a fascination for me, too. I will probably share a lot of pictures of bare branches against the sky in future Pedestrian Posts. To me, it never gets old.
I maybe should have gotten to this tree earlier in the season.
I have been admiring this particular tree for a while. So big! So bright!
I enjoyed my walk very much, and I see I have gotten a 400 word blog post out of it. That’s long for Mohawk Valley Girl! I hope my readers have enjoyed it.
