Weeekend Walks

A few weeks ago Joe and I made a commitment to each other that on the weekends we would make time to get some exercise.  Thankfully we have some lovely areas that are near to our apartments that we can go to.

We have had rain three weekends in a row but I love to walk in the rain so we haven’t let that stop us.

One of our favorite places to walk is the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary.  We went there a few weekends ago.









I was able to catch this hummingbird in flight.



We passed this couple on our walk and after we went by Joe turned to me and said “Some day that will be us” and  my heart melted right then and there.



It is also a bird sanctuary


I just love the bare branches of a tree in Winter.


This makes me feel like we are out in the country




We stopped at a local farmer’s stand and they were growing these beauties.  Mmmmmm.


Signs of Spring


This is another of our favorite places to walk.  We went here yesterday, at dusk.  It was raining quite hard by the time we were finished. Loved it.  Some of these were taken with my cell phone, as I can’t seem to get my Dad’s camera to take non-blurry pictures. Frustrating.











At the end of our walk we were pretty much soaked. Gizmo was none too happy about that.


We have been having a good time and getting in some exercise to boot.  Can't beat that!
