Nature walks and other beautiful things.

I walk back and forth to my mom's house nearly every day. It's a beautiful walk through the woods. Today, I decided to take my camera and capture a few pieces of beauty on the way.

This is the Wisteria bush in my yard. It is the first time it's bloomed since I planted it 15 years ago.


Here's the path to Mom's.



Here's the Tom turkey I ran into.



Here's the box turtle in my yard.

I loved reading about the nature walk on the way to your mom's home. The picture is beautiful. I love it. I would love to walk down that path. I bet it's gorgeous after a light shower - everything smelling so fresh with that just-rained smell.

Thanks Esther. Your post reminded me I have to add a few pictures to my blog. I've had them laying around to a month and haven't put them up yet. Beautiful pictures of the fall foliage.

Thanks for reading. ;)
