Not a bad start to the week. The rain stopped and today the sun came out.
Day 332
I stood still on my walk and looked up (only for a minute so I didn't get too dizzy lol) and loved seeing the blue sky and the sunshine, even if the trees are all bare. I don't think we take time to look up very often.
It was a nice walk this morning. I stopped and looked more than I walked. I rather enjoyed it. It was so quite at Asylum Lake this morning. Arnie, the park worker, was the only person I saw for ages. The beaver was out, several muskrats, some coots and lots of Mallards. I was fascinated for a while watching a female mallard eating a frog. I had never seen that before!
From the lake I walked up into the field and watched the House Finches eating berries in the tree. I saw a couple of people walking their dogs (one sadly off-lead, even though they are required) and chatted for a while to another photographer that I see sometimes. His 'thing' is deer and it's currently mating season, so he's out and about documenting and photographing the deer he's been following all year.
I did my usual daily chores when I got home, a little cross stitching, a little photography stuff and then it was time for the guys to come home.
I have to do a little better with time management tomorrow. The cupboard by the back door needs to be worked on as I want to get the stuff out for bulk rubbish pick-up on Friday.
I didn't go up in the craft room today, but I have been up there. Here are a couple of cards I've done.
I still need to make envelopes for them. I think I might send them to my sisters for their cards this year.
Your cards are fabulous - a real treasure. Your sisters will be delighted, I am totally sure. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope so. Last year I didn't feel like making any at all. I know they - especially middle sister - enjoys the cards.
DeleteI love that 'looking up at the sky through the trees' photo! You are right - we don't spend enough time looking up! Beautiful cards, too! I'm sure your sisters will like them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I try to remind myself to look up as I often miss things - especially when I'm out birdwatching and don't see the birds up high!
DeleteThat photo is absolutely stunning. I'd have it enlarged and hang it on my wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI always forget to look up and have probably missed loads of great photos! Taking time to stop and look is something we did when I went on a mindfulness walk ... very different from an ordinary walk and something I got a lot out of.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much you can see when you actually take time to just look around. Mum was always amazed by how much I pointed out to her when we took time to actually look at the small things.
