Another Blue Sky

Before we get the incoming stormy weather this weekend I spent a quiet afternoon yesterday at one of the natural areas. Seemed several people had similar ideas. The trails were busy with walkers, joggers and bicyclists. I also noticed a few dogs out walking their owners.

Another blue sky with a few clouds sprinkled in was just what I needed.

Let me always be who I am, and then some.

I sat on a favorite bench to journal and noticed that even though it was busy there was a quiet around me. I would guess 85% of the Dixon Reservoir is still frozen, therefore no waterfowl. The warm sun and quiet stirred my desire to see spring and the return of our song birds. We are extremely dry so I hope this incoming snow brings the much needed moisture. We could also use a nice wet spring. Shot this image with that old Fujifilm XT-10 and XF18-55mm lens. Happy Thursday!!!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I think I’d like to be out there walking around too. Something about that view just makes you want to go outside and take it all in.

      Absolutely! I had been sitting outside in my blue adirondack chair and heard that inner voice telling me it was time to go up there. GLad I listened. Today is another day just like it. Sat outside again and loved it.
