  • January Trees

    I find January to be one of my least favorite months, if not the least. The holidays are over, the decorations are down, there’s nothing really to look forward to, often the weather is crap, it still gets dark a little too early, etc.

    But today I took a walk around my area at a break and took a picture of what our January trees look like. These are not ever greens obviously, I didn’t take pictures of those trees who maintain their leaves year round. But these naked trees are also part of what I don’t like about January. As you will see though you can’t beat that blue sky.

  • Christmas Lights Walk With Me

    There is a neighborhood near us (wealthy LOL) who really do it up for Christmas lights. Every house has decorations. Some more than others, but not a single house does not participate. Since J asked, I thought it would be fun to post the pictures I took of the neighbor hood.

    Now you can feel like you went through the neighborhood too! They even play music and have lights across the interlinking streets that connect the whole thing overhead. It’s pretty awesome

    Merry Christmas

  • An October Walk With Me

    Since we are coming to the end of October already I thought I’d post some “Fall” pictures for us.

    Tree losing its leaves (yes the sky is that blue)
    Proof some of our trees leaves change color
    More changing trees and a super blue sky

    Fallen leaves and yes that is my foot

    A nearby neighbor’s decorations, Too cute right? A little girl lives there

    I am beginning to write some of the holiday flashes. I haven’t finished November but right now I want to get a jump on the December flashes. Now is your chance to tell me in the comments if there’s anything you’d like to see.

    I’ll probably repeat titles and ideas from the 2019 set. Last year, if you will recall, I did one story instead of the flashes. This year we return to the more popular flashes

  • Sorta Walk With Me August and Sorta Ramblings

    Don’t remember if I did a walk for August so anyway, thought I’d post a few pictures around my area I took.

    The last few days haven’t been bad and it even got into the high 50s at night. But Labor Day Weekend predictions are absolutely beastly with 106 on Saturday. I keep praying they are wrong.

    Tomorrow will be the last of the summer themed flashes. I am still not done with September. I have 5 left to go. To be honest I am struggling because I feel like I have done everything and it’s hard to come up with something different. But maybe I am overthinking it and you’ll be okay if it’s something I’ve written before, just as long as you can read about Jim and Spock.

    Anyway hope everyone has a good week.

  • Walk with me, July 2020

    This month’s walk with me is just around my condo complex. These pictures really prove that God or Nature can do color better than anything man can come up with.

    All of this bougainvillea is just amazing.

    Color everywhere even by the garages lol
    I love the little white flowers among the yellow
    Dig these two sycamore trees
    These are by one of the trash dumpsters!
    Flowers by the pool we are not allowed to use
    More flowers by pool we can’t use
    Hibiscus
    Pretty purple flowers
    My summer garden stakes out side my house part 1, these will be replaced by fall in September
    Summer stakes part 2
    Live Long and Prosper

  • Walking at Lunch, April 2 2020

    Today I walked at lunch, since this is day one of a full day of work at home. It was a beautiful April day. Absolutely nothing to indicate what’s really going on in the world.

  • End of March 2020 Walk With Me

    A Beautiful Day at Last
    An Empty Park
    An Empty Park
    Sign of the times, all equipment at the park has been roped off as unusable during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Very sad, I thought.
    Just a weird plant in someone’s yard

  • March Walk With Me

    An old Farmers Insurance Building in our City is being torn down to be replaced by mixed use stuff (apartments, park, restaurants, etc…)Was vacant for years but still dramatic.
    More- the building is from yesterday by our Target
    Clover
    Very gloom day for March. Seemed more like a December day or something. About to have a week of stormy weather, probably the last of whatever we’re going to get but cool and gloomy
    This truck has seen better days!
    More Gloomy Sky
    Some Beauty Among Dirt and Weeds
