Exploring My Surroundings

A couple of weeks back, I told you I was going to Weight Watchers and was searching for enjoyable ways to get more exercise. After all, the formula for weight loss is simple: Move More; Eat Less.

I decided to try walking. Walking doesn't require any special talents and I'd been doing it for years. I just needed to amp it up a bit. I knew walking in circles on a track or around the same neighborhood would bore me fairly quickly.
I decided I was going to explore the area around me to see what I could find. I was pleasantly surprised to find some of Mother Nature's beauty within minutes of my office. The first pathway I explored is near the post office I go to on my lunch breaks.


The pathway starts out straight and flat.

Then, it moves up and down
and all around a gorge.

Another turn leads to a babbling brook...

that rushes onward and down the falls.

I'm linking up to Outdoor Wednesday on a Southern Daydreamer.

  8. Wow and that is near your post office!!? I don't think I would get bored. Sometimes I walk the same route and I can do it without thinking about it and it enables my mind to think on other things.
