Let's go for a walk

Come take a walk with me for Outdoor Wednesday !  The temperatures great this morning,  I hope you've got your walking shoes on.   This is a beautiful walk and you will want to soak it all in.  In an effort to get myself back in shape I have been doing my walking again.  I am so blessed to live in an area that not only can I walk in but that I get to see such beautiful visions along the way!  Today I want to share that walk with you.  I have lots of photos here and will keep the narrative small but feel free to just cruise on ahead if your a power walker!

I start at the entrance to the sailing club.  Even though I could walk here, I drive my car here because I have more traffic on my street and I hate dodging cars when I don't have too.  It's just easier to park the car here and walk these roads where the cars are fewer and far between.


Then were off down the street!




I love looking at the house along the way!




Such a gorgeous shady street.



That's big and pretty isn't it?

Let's keep going straight, if you go to the right that will take you towards my house but were not getting on that road, were going on down straight.


Past the old chicken coops.


Now you can turn to the right, were not going down the dirt road.



Are you getting winded yet, just a little further around this bend.




Now we get to see a few homes that are lakeside.



Just up this way is one of my favorite houses to look at.



Yep, that's the one I love to see!


It has been so fun to watch this home evolve.  I walked this road before it was built and now every time I come by there is more landscaping and pretty things to look at and notice.




Yes, we're going around that bend too.




Were almost there.






These are some of the original lake homes.




I want this lot!  LOL!



See that sign, I told you we were almost there.


Here's another favorite home of mine to look at on this road.

Here we are, end of the road.  If we keep walking...


We'll end up in the lake!   But we are turning around and heading back!


Oh come on, you can make it!


There's that big stucco house again.




Pretty canna lilys!



Gorgeous newest house on the street!






It's starting to look like fall around here!




I love old fences and things like this.




Especially when right next to them is more beautiful homes.


Back around the bend.


I think that's a cleared off power line.


Were staying on the road though.






Look!  I see fall!


And now back to the left on the road we started out on.




Can you guess where these folks are from?






This is in front of the same yard with the horse topiary?  Did you peek at their flag.  They are from Kentucky!




Pretty purple Crepe Myrtles.


And Pink Crepe Myrtles.




And white Crepe Myrtles.


Come on, let's pass this walker with the dogs!


Very good!  You made it!  We will stop here for now.   I usually keep walking past the club and up the road ahead.  That's where there are lots more lovelies on the lake.  We will walk down there next time.  I can tell you've had enough today!

Thanks for joining me on my walk today, I hope you'll do it again someday!
Feels great doesn't it!
