Our walkies really got curtailed for a week. We still went on a few local quickies, but, my goodness! the wind, rain and cold were not very appealing.
On one day that was somewhat moderate, Sue had me walk under this arching branch along the trail, or arcing if you prefer.
But she decided on a triptych of the squirrel by the backyard feeder that we pass along the trail.
You might wonder at this next scene. We are told that this building will be a Winners store. Canadians, at least in this region, will know of the franchise, and it is a pretty big deal for just a town.
We were there because her theme for that day was Construction, but she thought she could do better than this, so off we went to another location where they are constructing apartments. With two cranes and two workers, I think she nailed the construction theme.
Finally, on Sunday morning, we had somewhat sunny skies so our walk was a little more pleasant and uplifting.
We drove to the trail bridge, and as soon as we got up there, I was quite taken with the green.
A guy walked by with three poodles. I got a snap of them retreating along the path.
After our mild exercise, we stopped for coffee and turkey-bacon club sandwiches at Tims and took our provender to the park where it was nice enough to leave the car and eat upon a bench. After eating and drinking, we used Sue's selfie stick and made an effort to get both of us plus the arc of the tree in the frame. Composing with an selfie stick while trying to click the shutter caused us some mirth.
Great final pic!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see the sun here yesterday after a week of cold a rain. Sue really does well with here daily photo theme.
ReplyDeleteA most enjoyable series of outings and different themes for these photoso. Love that last one, but the incidental wind across Sue's scarf is part of what makes it special. Or is it accidental wind?
ReplyDeleteGreat walks there, AC. The three poodles are a handful I bet.
ReplyDeleteSue's second construction photo is really good, nice composition. I like the one of you "hurrying" best though.
ReplyDeleteWish we had a Tim's here.
The sunny Sunday walk sounds so refreshing, especially with the vibrant green and poodles in tow. Ending with coffee, sandwiches, and a selfie attempt brings such warmth and humor to your outing. Thanks for sharing this charming glimpse of your adventures!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent comments. It would be difficult for me to follow your blog.
DeleteBeautiful to see nature, I love your photos. Your club sandwich sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love that your selfies are right smack on your face but a little bit more of you! sounds like a very fun day!
ReplyDeleteI've never used a selfie stick! Sue does so well with the prompts and it seems to encourage exploration and outings, a great thing.
ReplyDeleteWalking is good, but walking with a purpose is even better.
ReplyDeleteI went out to walk to a few Doors Open locations on Sunday afternoon and got soaked when the rain started again!
ReplyDeleteIt can be mirthful doing a selfie! Nice outing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe call that selfie a mirthie?
ReplyDeleteI love the arching branch. That looks like a really nice place to take a walk. The squirrel is too cute. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe walk is the best way to explore the surrounding and train calves as the second heart
ReplyDeleteWith poor weather, it's a good thing you can ride along with whatever happens.
ReplyDeleteWell that looks like quite respectable exercise! It's charming how you two collaborate.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a great selfie!
