Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Indoor/Outdoor Walks

Well it has been a few weeks since I have been able to partcipate in any challenges. I have been dreaming of squirreling away some time to meet Cee’s  Fun Foto Challenge again and this week my dreams come true with this post about WALKWAYS.

Weekly Travel Theme: Sensory

It has been a while since I have participated in the Travel Challenge hosted by Ailsa.

This week Ailsa has asked us to display photos from our travels that awaken the senses.

I can still hear this old man playing Joplin in Keene NH. The sound was floating through the Old colony Mill Mall and I was drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

The cold breath of winter’s wind still chills me as I remember a snowy walk in downtown Winchendon and I can feel the warmth of the rising sun over the surf in Oguncquit Maine.

The sweet scent of wisteria surrounds me as I think back to my walk through Longwood Gardens last June.

And of course no sensory post would be complete without the bitter sweet taste of a cup o’ Joe. This one is from Fruitlands in Acton Ma

My Daily Walk 2-17-16

With the temperature plunging to -17 with a wind chill of -39,  I missed all my daily walks this weekend. I did spend a little time stretching though.

I really thought I would be back at it yesterday but the rains came in like a flood. The creek behind the house overflowed its banks and the entire neighborhood was one big puddle.image

So today in spite of a very busy schedule I insisted on stopping between appointments for a walk. I had to meet my accountant in Keene NH. Then on the way back home I stopped in the little town of Troy to walk the common.

Snow flutters at last in WInchendon MA. We have had precious little snow this season and we desperately need the moisture.
