As part of my new healthy lifestyle modification, I have been walking in my neighborhood several times a week. I have really been enjoying being out in nature while I work on getting more activity into my life. The woods around my home is home to lots of critters and birds. There are pathways that I haven't been on since my childhood around here. My pet trio loves to come along with me. Cubby Bears, the chow, is our security guide. He makes sure there is nothing out there that is gonna hurt us. The other day, Cubby sprang into action... he went scavenging around in the bushes beside the road, and I could hear something else in the bushes too. Sure enough, out springs a young buck, hopping through the forest and dashed across the road right in front of us! Saved! From a rouge deer on the loose! That's my Cubby!
Then there's Jack E. Cheez, the chihuahua, my shadow. He thinks he's tough, but gets scared of other dogs out there on our walk. Jack has learned to hitch a ride with Grammy when we encounter stranger dogs.
Stanley Oliver is our lake cat. He loves to follow along, just like he was a dog. He doesn't like the 'stranger dogs' either, and will hide in the woods. Me and the dogs will continue on, and when we get back, Stan will still be in the bushes waiting for us. A few meows, and he'll come hopping out and start following us again. Lately, I've been leaving poor Stan home, because he really does slow me down. Poor kitty, he has been real ticked about it.
I use the iPhone MapMyWalk app to log my distance and time when walking. The upgraded version allows me to take photos within the app along the way. So I thought I would share some of my photos from my walks. Hope you enjoy!
This is the Great Blue Heron seen down in Cedar Beau Bay.
Just another beautiful sunset in our bay. I never tire of this scene, whatever the season, it is beautiful, peaceful, and best of all... my home.
