Earlier this evening, I sat here, logged in and looking at a blank “Add New Post” screen, with a mind equally as blank. Finally I decided to go for a walk with my phone and take some pictures for a Pedestrian Post. I did not have as many photo ops as I had hoped, but I did manage to get a few.
You can’t really see how lovely the green is.
It was a beautiful sunny evening. Unfortunately, the sun was in a bad place for some of the pictures I would have liked to take. Maybe I could have gotten some evocative back-lit silhouettes (holy crap, I spelled that right at the first try!), but I am not such an artsy photographer, especially with my cheap-ass phone. I tried to capture a tree with the leaves just unfurling, with not much success.
I just now learned how to rotate a photo!
As I walked up Maple Grove, I saw a commemorative stone where a house used to be, till the flood of 2013. I did not think it would be commemorating the house, which was not an historic structure. I guess it marks the project of flood abatement. Anyways, I took a picture.
My main purpose was to walk by the spring. I was drinking out of a bottle of water that I wanted to finish and refill. I am feeling rather dehydrated today. Too much salty food, I suppose.
One of my favorite places to stop during a walk or run.
I continued my walk, trying to take a couple of different turns from previous walks I had mapped. I like to post the map on Facebook and my friends say what they think it looks like. Sometimes I make a psychological analysis or prediction based on what they see. Analyses and predictions for entertainment purposes only, I hasten to add.
Things are more interesting when I go on longer walks and runs.
I went for a run this morning but did not map it. I just re-started running on Sunday (after beginning again then stopping again etc). I feel pretty well exercised for the day, I suppose. And I have made a blog post of over 350 words. I call that not bad for a Monday.
