A Good Place to Walk

Today was a beautiful day for walking. It was hot but a nice breeze was blowing through the leafy trees. I completed my two mile walk and snapped a few photos along the way. Wild honeysuckles were out and they smelled so sweet. I thought about breaking off a few sprigs to plant in pots on my deck but I was afraid they would die just as my wild roses did. It was nice being out on a pretty day. I surprised myself by not getting too tired. I met friends along the trail and stopped to chat and still made good time. This trail Is so much better than the one at the hospital. Trees are huge which makes it shadier and cooler. Where is your favorite place to walk

I'm in a suburban area, so it's all neighborhoods here and noisy because of traffic. So while it's not as pretty as in your area, I can still run into quite a few people I know along the way, which is always so nice!

@RubyHawk We have a beautiful state park about 10 minutes from here, but I would have to get a ride there. It's one of those places I used to go all the time when I was young and single and had weekends free. I'd go for long walks and I'd even bring a blanket and a book so once the walk was done I could stretch out and read for a while.

@CRK109 I often see blankets stretched out with people napping or reading. There are picnic shelters with tables but it's more fun out in the open

We have several parks and our complex to walk in but nothing elsewhere. Lots of heavy traffic here.

That is a nice walk you had. There is a lake nearby to my home. I usually go there for my walks

@RubyHawk But it is quite nice to walk by the river side too. When i was small i used to go and stay st my grandmothers. And we had to walk through the fields and to reach a river. We used to fish there. It was so much fun

I like lakes too but we don't have one near. We have creeks and rivers.

@Nawsheen We have a lovely long trail along the Chattahoochee. We used to go there often when my better half could walk better, but there are few benches in shade. I hope we can walk there again.

Nice that you found this trail. I like having my own spot to visit.

I've walked this trail for years among others but since my better half isn't able to walk now we go there mostly because they have benches in shades.

I like to walk in the woods near our home, along a small river, it's peaceful, the air is clean and there is complete silence.

@RubyHawk I agree, the treadmill is boring because you only see the wall of your room.

Sounds lovely.I like walking outside in nature. A treadmill is so boring.

@LadyDuck When I walk on a treadmill I take a book and read while jogging along. I'd still rather be outside under the trees.

Glad you enjoyed your walk today. I don't walk as often as I should but we have some nice parks with walking paths.

@Marilynda1225 I don't intend to do too much. Steady is what I'm after.

So, why didn't you include at least one of the photos here that you snapped on your walk, hmm? There are quite a few plants that will regenerate or whatever it may be called just by planting a sprig into the dirt. But, I've found that you need to be on top of keeping it watered especially if the weather down there is hot already. I don't know whether roses would work that way, but i do that with mums and most recently with several annuals that I get in hanging baskets. It works well for I think it was pansy's verbenum, (when I have that one in my yard, I can remember the correct spelling), and many others. I'll just put it into the pot where it is and water it as good as possible and then again every day or so until it takes hold.

@RubyHawk Maybe the size of your images are too large? I don't remember what size it takes but you can ask owl or jj they would remember. I've never had any issues with uploading images even though I don't change the sizes too often.

@MarshaMusselman I don't know how to change sizes but all my pictures must be the same size and a few submitted.

I would like to submit my pictures. I have managed to get a few on as you have probably seen and they look good but most of the time they won't submit. I have gotten a few wild plants to take root. Honeysuckle vine, wild ivy, and fern. My deck is full shade and will only grow shade plants, I used to have other plants until all the trees grew and gave too much shade.

Anywhere where people will not notice me, and a place with beautiful trees perfect for summer and a shade of shelter for me to write poems.

I like quite shady places but I also like meeting friends along the way sometimes not always.

That sounds like a lovely place to walk, Ruby. I have a few favourite walks, but if I lived closer to the beach I'd be there every day.

@RubyHawk I'd rather enjoy a few wooded trails as well.

@valmnz I like both but I don't get to the beach often and I have woods all around me.

I love the beach too, but it's too far away. I must make do with wooded trails which I love just as much.

I love walking at our town trails or in the woods in our backyard. Of course, I prefer walking along the ocean when in Florida.

Glad it was nice out for you to go on a walk. It was rainy and wet all day today. Was stuck inside. I like walking to the beach which is 10minutes down the road by car.

It's too much rain to walk today just when I was getting a good start.

We have a nice trail that runs through our apartment complex and down by the creek and I used to walk it more than now.
