Come for a walk

I want to show you where I take Roy, and used to take Ed, for walks.

It is quite the nicest part of where I live.
The bike path along the river.....actually it runs between the river and the canal.

It was quiet this morning.  Usually by late afternoon, there are more people here.

The river is much wider, and has quite a current, while the canal is narrower, and calm.

Sometimes, this is just a great place to decompress.
Eddie always loved it here, his whole demeanor changed as soon as we could see the river.

Roy likes it, too.

I have walked here early in the morning, midday, and later in the evening.  I love the way the light changes on the water.

What a lovely place to park your bike, and read for a while.

I love the reflections of the trees on the water.

After long days at the studio, responsibilities at home, I am kind of fond of this place myself.

Sometimes it's processing the week gone by, and sometimes it's making a plan for the week to come.

Sometimes, I honestly don't think about anything at all.

I was thinking today about vacations.   Back when I worked for the state, I actually took my vacations, and did something, went somewhere.  Since I have 'retired', and work for myself, I don't actually do much on the vacation front.
Maybe that's why I am so looking forward to Maine, later this summer.  ONE whole week,  being away from work, and responsibilities.   With my girls.   It's going to be so much fun.

But for now, this will have to do.  Walks by the river, with my buddy, Roy.

The simpler my life is, the better I like it.
