There are some places where I never tire of spending time. Lake Alma State Park falls into this category. My favorite feature here is is the nice bike path that stretches past the lake and into the nearby City of Wellston.
It’s reasonably peaceful most days and easily accessible for a quick walk after work.
I sometimes snap phone pictures here during my walks and the challenge is to find new ways to look at the familiar.
Like these boats.
And the road.
Luckily, nature changes daily. The sky and the light are always different. Right now the trees are bare but starting to bud. In a couple of weeks they will look completely different.
Repetition may seem boring to others but I find it calming and even challenging at times. I like looking for new ways to see the familiar.
It’s a skill, I think, being able to look at something day in and day out but still see it from a fresh perspective. It’s a skill that can be applied to situations that require problem solving and to daily life just to prevent boredom.
Perhaps this is why I am never bored. There’s always something to see or learn about a subject – even when you think you’ve seen it all!
I often walk by this pretty little church on my lunch break. It was so nice against the sunny blue sky this week that I stopped and snapped a picture.
Winter in southern Ohio has been interrupted by a few days of warmer temperatures this week. Wednesday was sunny and sixty degrees. Tuesday wasn’t quite that warm but the sunshine made it feel better.
I’ve been dying to get outside and breathe some fresh air so when Thursday was sunny and warm(er), I took a walk on my lunch break. My town has a large cemetery on a hill with roads that are perfect for walking.
