Tonight I was fortunate enough to get to go another walk. Al is not feeling too well, as you can see by his photo. His ankles are hurting full-time now. The muscles are getting weaker, causing him pain when he stands on them.
This deer was looking right at me. He asked me to take his photo, so I did as I was told.
The delicate purple flower, I could not resist. It was so graceful standing there.
The water hugging the tree root, just caught my eye and I had to capture it for my memories.
The three people are my son, his lady friend, and her child.
Of course, this last photo is my brother Al. I took the walk to try to take his mind off of his pain, and it did help for a while.
I just love these walks. It is so peaceful, so close to God. Each time I can see some more proof of God’s beauty
Now we are home and Al is targeted in on his pain, so I am going to surprise him with his bedtime snack and give him some strawberry short-cake with whip cream. This should bring at least a small smile.

i love taking photos, but just an ameteur. the boardwalk it is called where we walk. it is on the outskirts of the city, where the city has built a wooden boardwalk right down the middle of nature. thanks for keeping Al in your prayers. i know that i appreciate it….

thank you Pink. i hope people like it. i have worried lately as my stats are lower than ever. maybe i have not done as well as i used to, something i am doing wrong

Not at all! You were posting like 4 a day, so naturally, doing one a day brings that stats lower. 😀 Just keep reading, commenting, and the like. It will come back up! It’s always good to seek out other bloggers perspectives too on life as it makes you realize you’re not alone, though I’m sure you are doing that. 😀
