This is another entry for the #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay.
I have to say, writing for the #wednesdaywalk community has made me a more observant hiker. Of course, it's fun to share these photos every week (and earn some HIVE, too), but I've noticed it has made me much more curious about the wildflowers and plants that are already moving through the cycle of life. In this wonderful little stretch that I try to walk every morning, I've already seen three sets of wildflowers come and go since April. That is mind-boggling for a guy who usually just speed hikes stuff and fails to pay attention to his surroundings. Thanks to this community, I've already done so much more in terms of photographing the vegetation than ever before.
Granted, most of these beauties of nature are likely allergins, but that's ok. Enjoy the moment, right?
Nothing beats a near frost morning in early May for a hike, in my personal opinion. I love it; it sets the day off on the right foot (pun intended?)
I even found a few "man-made" items this morning too; the first was a road sign stuck on the edge of the woodlands.
The other was a peace sign, wood burned into a piece of wood and strung on a tree.
Not a bad walk at all! I am most fortunate, no doubt, to have such a peaceful place within walking distance to me. The Scarpas love it, and so do I.
Thanks for checking my walk out! As always, hoping everyone out there in the world had a wonderful Wednesday too. See you next week...
