A good evening of pictures

Last night gave me a beautiful opportunity for photos, again.  I know this is not much of a surprise for many of you, but let me have a moment here! ...............

AHHHH. Yes.  thanks.

 It was a good night.  I walked over to "The Farm" on the south side of Park Falls, where the MA was assisting the unloading of hay.  I walked over on a back road and through the hay fields behind the barn, which is why I got some great shots!  I also scooted under the electric fence, in by the cows and down by the river.  The rains lately have REALLY filled the rivers and streams, it is quite amazing for this time of the year.  So, I took a bunch of pix, edited them and consequently have not YET gotten outside with a cup of coffee, something I plan to remedy in one moment.

These last 2 pictures were taken during a VERY long walk I took on Sunday night.  I'll include the rest of those pictures in a later blogpost....

Oh and yes, I am sure you are thrilled to know I got outside with my coffee this morning.  And found a little early morning joy!

Friday night walk

I had a really fun day Friday, I'll post a little more about that in a while.  It was joyful!  So, Friday night, after a truly hard session at the gym, I decided to go for a walk.  The weather was looking iffy for Saturday, and I like to keep up on my cardio.  I was also thinking maybe some walking would work out the leg muscles that were already protesting an awful lot of squats and leg presses.  So, off I went on a 4 mile walk- towards the east!

 Creeping phlox

There is such a pretty scene right around the corner from us- gorgeous little mounds of flowers that are show stoppers this year.  So with that in mind I took off.  I photoed the flowers and continued on, and decided my legs were feeling GREAT!  So I started to run..... and I ran about a half mile down the road, walked and then decided to run the hills.  WHY???  I did run the hills, and it was fine, but you couldn't have told me that during the night when I was up multiple times taking Vitamin "I", drinking water, shaking off a hamstring cramp, and other various interruptions.....  I am pretty sure I was delirious most of the time, and I am zombie like today.  I do make things difficult for myself..... and possibly for other people.

So, anyway, enjoy the pretty!  And the cows, who were so darn cute!

Until later- enjoy the view!
