Here are a few pictures of flowers from the small town where I like to walk sometimes, as it is right on the marina. It’s really an adorable little town. Very wealthy, unfortunately, so the homes are out of my price range. But I like…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readThe trail to the lake — Actifit: July 13 2022We took our favorite walk to the lake, which is along a tree-lined trail, and is about a mile and a half each way from our starting point. There are a few houses right along the trail. I tried to capture the flag illuminated by sun. It was a perfectly comfortable evening. I nearly needed a sweatshirt! Eventually we got to the lake.…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readEvening on a boat - Actifit: July 11 2022Today we celebrated my husband’s birthday by taking a boat ride with friends. All my steps for the day were achieved by preparing food for the trip and hauling supplies onto the boat! Once on the bait, there was not much exercise to be had. As you can see, it was breezy! The wind blew my hat back and we were joking that I looked like…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readSublime and Beautiful Sunday - Sunset on the Water - Actifit: July 10 2022It was a two-walk day today. My sister and I took our dogs to a park in the morning. In the evening I took a short walk at the marina to see the sky at sunset. There were some beautiful towering cumulus clouds. Unfortunately I got there just after the gold and orange tinge on the edges of some of them had faded. I could see it on the drive over…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readDog park and gardening in the heat - Actifit: July 5 2022Today was hot. I went to the dog park with Zoey before 9 and it was already too hot for her to have much of an interest in chasing the ball. But she made a friend! Back at home I puttered in the part of the garden that was not yet in the sun. I was excited to see all the blossoms on the cucumber vine. But of course you know what that…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 12 min readSublime and Beautiful Sunday - Actifit: July 3 2022Hello my friends. I have done so many things this weekend that I don’t even know where to begin, so I thought I would just show some pictures of my garden. Today was a day for trimming back deadheads, pulling a few weeds and doing some watering. I also got steps from doing other things around the house and helping out at a party. My garden is…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readBusy day on the trail - Bunnies, Bikes and Deer - Actifit: July 2 2022We had a nice long walk on the trail. It was very busy with lots of people out biking! In addition to people, we saw some adorable wildlife! Our destination was the lake, where I love to capture the light, the boats, the water and the reflections. Thank you for visiting!

Very quiet. Not very many people. So I can walk, listen to my current audio book, enjoy the singing birds and daydream while I walk. I love the mottled sunlight filtering through trees and speckling the path. Other scenes along the way included some…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 3 min readSublime and Beautiful Sunday - Actifit: June 26 2022Wonderful, beautiful, sublime Sunday! I took two walks today — a short one with my dog first thing in the morning, and then a longer one with my husband in the evening. These pictures are from my first walk at the dog park, though I did not manage to include my actual dog in these pictures. Oops! Next are pictures from my evening walk…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readEvening at the dog park - Actifit: June 24 2022My husband and I were back at the park with our dog for the second time this week. It was a nice evening but quite hot. So we took it kind of slow to avoid over-heating. The trees are very lush and green this time of year, and the grass is taller then me! There were lots and lots of wildflowers too. Of these next…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readA few trips ‘round the ‘hood - Actifit: June 22 2022I love this time of year. The colors are so vibrant! This is a home in my neighborhood that is becoming overgrown with Ivy. It is a beautiful and well-maintained home. They just like the climbing ivy! The only other pictures I took on this walk were of my backyard when I returned home. My dog, Zoey, was trying to get me interested in…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readWalk with my dog and hubby — Actifit: June 21 2022My dog’s favorite walks are when both my husband and I are there. Dogs are pack animals, after all! She likes to check to make sure everyone is coming along. She loves to run into the creek! And chase her ball in the meadow. Of course I stopped on occasion to take pictures of the flowers and scenery. The last…jayna in hive-193552 • 4 yr. ago • 3 min readTunnels, frogs and fireflies - Actifit: June 20 2022I went walking with my friend and her dog, just as night was falling, so we could see the fireflies. They are amazing right now, if you know where to go to find them. They like woods and meadows. And we are fortunate to have both of those things in a park where we live. Now, sadly it is nearly impossible to take pictures of fireflies.

We had an evening party scheduled, so I spent the entire day, finishing up gardening tasks, cleaning the house and preparing food. Hence my nearly 30,000 steps. I was on the go all day!

But amazingly, sometimes you just come across a scene that inspires you and makes you remember that you need to take time to slow down, to think, to relax, and breathe the fresh air. Those were my thoughts when I came across this beautiful barn.

So hi! Here it is Monday and I’m posting for Sunday, and there’s a good reason, besides the aforementioned issues.

Their beauty and aroma are so incredibly uplifting. I took a walk through a park that. Usually go to with my dog.
