~~~~~~
Every day, at least I try
I take a walk
in a park
to bring to me
my sane of mind
to disconnect
from stress and woes
so once again
myself and I
rejoin with Green
and as I do
my troubles all
just slip away.
Come … Will you join me? …

I love the photographs with the path, especially the first one. It’s like the route to a stress free couple of hours!

As with you, Irene. Just know I’ve had some pretty busy days (today being one of them) and I have not been able to get to my emails. ALL is OK. I will write you when I can, I promise to tell you all about it. I’m really focused on getting to photo shoots now while the weather is still nice, getting to appointments that had previously been canceled, AND while everyone is stable here, getting caught up. I Love you! xoxox Amy

Thanks for taking us along Amy. As you may know from my posts, I often start the day in a park by a river. There is something special about spaces like this, and you are so right about having it sort of reset you mind. Beautiful photos of a lovely spot.

You are welcome, Dan, and in return I do thank you for coming along with me. The combination of water and green has such a huge pull on me. It’s been suggested I go to another park which is “safer” but there is no water there and the scenery is blah, just a walking path. No thank you. I return to this park again and again to refuel and yes I have attached to my person items that would assist me to protect myself. That and I do have some Martial Arts belts. (smile) Really. Anyways as I ramble on … I am really happy you enjoyed this post. These pictures are really special to me. I worked darn hard on them as well to make them look as close as possible as if they had been taken by my Canon. I took these images with my Samsung Galaxy 2 camera. I don’t know if you saw that way down at the bottom of the post. Hope your day was a good one!!! Love, Amy ❤

Marissa, next time you take a walk in Nature, just begin to look at things you normally would not. Just LOOK AROUND and start seeing patterns and something that tugs at you making you curious. Even as a child I saw Beauty wherever I went. I had a very difficult childhood and for most of the time very withdrawn, yet in the quiet, I observed and my eyes began to see amazing things. They still do today!!! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed this!! Love, Amy ❤

LOL Alexander, I KNEW someone would comment on that photo. I must tell you the truth, that photo blew me away because of anything I have edited, She required the smallest amount of adjustments. The angle, the lighting, the shot itself, just perfect. In fact, I edited Her and did NOT like what I did, and started all over. This flower demanded to be seen as is, and let me tell you, She really is being seen as is. She is a stunner out in my front garden. Thank YOU for sneaking in. I am just so tickled that you saw what I did as well. Bless you, Alexander! Your words mean the world to me. Love, Amy ❤

Good thing we see eye to eye on this. Did you know you can’t pee in public, but you can poo because it’s fertalizer… I’m not so sure if the same law applies in The States though.
Instead of complaining and insist you bag it, they should be asking if your dog could please poop on their lawn! It’s a shame they won’t at least let us pee on our doorknobs so we can at least mark our territory…
I don’t even go in for lunch sometimes, and just eat the leaves off the trees :O)
