A Brief Walk

Sometimes schedules get hectic and work leaves me drained.  These are great times to remember during a late lunch break that the park is just minutes away. I took a much needed walk and got a dose of fresh air today.  -A

Happy July!

I picked up some reading and listening for the summer today at the library. -A

Happy 3rd Birthday Blog

Happy birthday blog! A and I went for a 20 mile bike on the towpath last night. Fortunately our schedules coordinated and the weather cooperated. The towpath is where we came up with the idea of starting our blog. 

Although we don't post regularly it is a comfort to know it is always there when we feel inspired or creative.  I tend to think of it as an old friend. Old friends are reliable, loyal, and familiar. 

Thanks for always being there. - P

Signs of Summer

I think the end of spring and beginning of summer is one of the most beautiful times of year. Spring flowers are still in bloom while summer flowers are also budding. Check out the photos. - P

Bike Rides Feel Like Mini Vacations

So I spent this morning on my bike. The quiet Sunday traffic and the almost perfect spring weather combined to make it feel like I wasn't just miles from my home. -A

Winter Winery

We spent our Saturday relaxing at a couple of wineries with my parents.  Although it is now spring the area where the wineries are located is still snow covered.  It was a beautiful day to take a day trip as the roads were clear and the sun was shining at times.  I think the man fishing under the bridge was posing for me.  He looks content but I can't imagine standing in the icy water.  The dogs at the one winery greet everyone at the door.  A nice day to enjoy time with family, good food and wine. - P

Hay Bales in the Winter

I decided I would recreate a previous post where I was inspired by the Stack of Wheat by Monet.  I thought I posted it in the fall.  After taking the photos today I came home and looked at the post. It was from last January. My intent is to take photos of the hay bales during every season.  I am starting with winter again since I like the photos I took today.  Perhaps I notice them more in the winter since the bright colored trees and flowers stand out the rest of the year. Stay tuned for new ones this spring, summer and fall.  As for now, please enjoy a bit of a repeat. - P
