Walking



Walks: The body advances, while the mind flutters around it like a bird. ~ Jules Renard




Every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us. ~ Henry Thoreau




Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you. ~ John Ruskin

  9. Such a beautiful place! I am trying to figure out what kind of trees those are. They sort of look like Oregon Myrtle trees.

    That final quote really spoke to me this morning. It is time to hit a hiking trail (as soon as this damnable rain ever stops!).

  13. That's beautiful! If it was greener and had old side walls, I would say this was one of the many roads at the Sintra Mountain Range, 15kms from where I live. Wonderful shots!

  15. It is a great time of the year in SoCal. The hills are still green and the smells "delicious".

  16. silently walking with you, lost in the play of light and shadow, in the vibrant colours - and silence becomes music, and vision becomes revelation...

  17. The path of wisdom or freedom is a path that leads to the center of his own being.

  18. Very beautiful! I've taken a lot of shots like these myself but they always seem to get lost in the shuffle. Tree line paths are great place to take pictures, especially when they have curves. I really like the mix of shade and light.
