Walking Around
Mobility issues have caused me to reevaluate my sedentary life, get off the couch and track my steps. My daily walks have taken me to some picturesque spots and increased my stamina. I look for cool pics to share and look forward to walking now instead of avoiding it.

Bribed myself into a walk today with the promise of a pitstop at my neighborhood treatery. Once there, my eyes devoured all the sumptuous options, but I was happy with just a coffee. I am such a liar.

Notable by his absence in this photo is me. It’s sadly funny how I can be so invested in doing something and a couple months later not even making an effort. Well, perhaps this little post is the first step in kickstarting my mobility goal once again. We will see.

Despite the category, this guy is not walking around today. My knee is protesting the whole walking around concept. Random body parts are taking turns reminding me that I’m not 35.
-
A new perspective on something familiar. Reminders for me this morning of the value of seeing something from a new point of view. Of actually listening to what someone is telling me instead of dismissing their thoughts and opinions as wrong.

I am such a chicken. Signs like this make me want to hightail it back to the car and just go home. Or maybe become one of the gray heads walking circuits at the nearby mall, dodging shoppers and wondering why my feet are killing me. On this day, however, I kept on walking, passed the sign and entered the woods.

I had completely forgotten about this walking trail. As I walked it the other day I determined to visit it regularly. All Trails app makes it easy to see where you’re going and how long it will take you to get there. There will be no need for search parties to rescue this directionally challenged trail walker.

Saw this little guy on our walk this morning. No clue what type of insect it is, but will no doubt see more like it in the coming days till the weather gets cooler.

I know that I am prone to enthused exaggeration, but on my walk today I saw the most beautiful tree in the park. Before you judge me, know that I already have tempered my remarks for I really wanted to say that on my walk today I saw the most beautiful tree in the whole wide world.

A stately old church in the heart of downtown London. Built in 1869, an architectural example of Gothic Revival, with a prominent tower and steeple, pointed arches and lots of stained glass. Why does a beautiful church setting more easily inspire reverence for me?

I love walking in the Fall. The cool temperatures, colourful leaves and quiet stillness make me want to linger on the pathway.
-
Viewing the city from the top of city hall. A great reminder that a bird’s eye view provides a different perspective.

Explored Central Library’s Rotary Garden, a secret oasis in the midst of downtown London. Lots of shady places to sit, read and bask in tranquility.
