Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

A mid morning walk

I walked later than usual this morning because there was a thunder storm and I waited until there was a break. For the most part the rain stayed away while I walked. Not many people out walking and the people that I did see weren't the usual ones. Most of the people I see in the early morning are the people exercising before they are off to work. They don't have the luxury of waiting for better weather like I do. Here are some pictures I took along my walk around the lake.
A full stream of muddy water after all the rain once again.
Under a canopy of trees.
Canadian geese swimming away from me. I'm on a bridge taking this picture.
A peek through the trees at the lake.
Some Black Eyed Susan's - Maryland's state flower.
I'll be staying home the rest of the day. I'm going to bake some Rye Bread - haven't made that kind before. Chocolate Chip Cookies sound like a good idea too. A little cleaning will get done. I've been knitting on some of those white afghan squares and will finish one of those. Then I'll read. I'm thinking going out for supper sounds nice too. :-) What ever you're doing today I hope it's a good one for you. Happyone :-) Your children will follow your footsteps more easily than they will follow your advice. Then again some people learn what NOT to do from a parent.

Yup. I've been trying to learn what NOT to do. ;>

I'm glad the rain mostly held off so you could get in your walk. It's nice not to be a prisoner of the clock, isn't it?

Pretty Black Eyed Susans. Hope you had a nice day baking and were able to go out to dinner. I will be baking chocolate chip cookies tomorrow.
