Daily Diary, Day 849: My grandson's birthday today, he turned 13. Getting his first desk to do his work at for this birthday. Before we know it, it will be his first driver's license!
While I did have my usual noon zoom meeting, I didn't have any scheduled calls, and I worked on getting writing done before walking. Decided that whenever possible I will postpone walking (not the cleaning) until I get at least 1000 words written, which I achieved by 3 pm today.
I just got back from this walk, very cloudy, and night coming on fast. I only did 50 minutes (I need to get started on dinner) but I am beginning to add a couple of minutes each walk in going down this very steep hill right before my house. Going down, of course, isn't the goal, but trudging back up is.
I got about a 1/3 of the way down, and it took me 2 mins to go back up, and I definitely got my heart rate up. I also took some more tree pictures on the walk; this time simply of one of the trees that had leaves that turned colors. Somehow in the last 2 days, all these trees pretty much completely lost their leaves all through the neighborhood. Probably the storm we had night before last.
I particularly liked this shot because of the crow sitting at the top of the tree. I also enjoyed scuffling through the leaves under another one of the denuded trees on the walk.
Now, time for dinner! The walk this late in the day made me hungry!
You definitely have an artist's eye in all of your pictures. And finding a different theme and perspective on each walk is inspiring: I've been making more effort to do the same on my twice daily walks.
thank you. Happy birthday to your grandson too. Hard having a birthday during end of year holiday season when you're a kid.😊
I love walking with a camera. Snap shot or none I think about what I'm seeing. But each snap will remind me of that moment. And if I scribble a word or two I'll live my entire moment forever.
