Self Realizations

 I have been forcing myself to take a walk in a park every day, usually after work. I decided that I needed to do this, so challenged myself to 30walks in 30days.  So far so good!  5 days in and I'm still at it!

But what I just realized is that when I'm out in nature, I am drawn to trees and water.  Not that I have an explanation for it, but was reviewing photos I have taken, and yep, water and trees.

While I enjoy all parts of nature, those are a definite draw!  I have come to really enjoy these odd little self realizations that spring up from time to time!!

Keeping My Challenge Going

The walk today was in my neighborhood.  The weatherman predicted some heavy winds and rain in the evening, so I didn't want to be caught in it!  But it didn't hit us until about 9pm, and then whoa!  Look out!  It was very heavy wind, woke me up, sounded like an airplane buzzing overhead for hours!  Then rain, and some very cold temps!  It was 37degrees the next morning!

Here's some holiday cheer from around the neighborhood and one really big blooming bougainvillea!  

 

Day 4 Walk

Today's walk was just around my neighborhood.  I worked an unscheduled shift today, and had to rush home to do laundry so today's walk was just around my local blocks.  I'm glad it's the holiday season --- something new to view at some of the neighbors' houses!   The sun was just setting and light bounced off a few clouds.  It was a beautiful day in the Valley of the Sun !!
