Blue Skies and Sunshine - Perfect Day For A Walk

Today was the perfect day to go walking at the Cape Fear River Trail.

I love this time of year because I know Winter is wrapping up and Spring is on the way. 



This is the bottom of a kick butt hill. I take  big steps to make the hard trip up a bit quicker.



A view of the huge pond from the bridge. I wonder what is the difference between a lake and a pond? It so peaceful with the sun reflecting off the rippling water.

The Cape Fear River seen through the still in Fall mode woods on one side of the trail.


Big blue skies - I love days like this. Perfect cool but with just enough warmth to be comfortable temperature. The sun is shining bright. 




The covered bridge - I love looking at the shadow play of the wooden slats on this bridge.

 I take a quick break from my walk and stand at the railing to listen to the small but surprisingly loud waterfall running parallel through the forest.


The waterfall - I close my eyes and took the time to relax and clear my mind. 

Today was a very short walk. I turned around at the covered bridge and made my way back. Just under two miles today  but a good workout nonetheless.

I am so blessed to be able to be in good enough health to get out of the house and walk a nature trail.  Your health and time is so precious, take the best care of it you can.

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

Fountain Of Summer Light



Light

Water

Peace

I still remember how relaxed I felt standing in front of this beautiful splashing fountain. As I was walking around downtown and I just happened to stumble across the park where this fountain is located as the sun was going down. One of life's cool moments that just happen. It is so important to just stop and enjoy a moment of peace and savor it.

This picture does not do it any justice. The sun was hitting the water at just the perfect angle. I wish I had this fountain in my backyard. 

When you explore, you never know what treasures you will find. Get out in your city and find new things to inspire your life every single day.

Thanks for reading!
