The sun shining through leaves and flowers.
Rubbish bins and the people who empty them.
After noticing several bins along my walk I was able to thank this man for his work. He looked surprised and pleased to be noticed! I hope it added a spark to his day.
Small parks hidden between houses. Space to relax or play.
A newly built fence. Maybe it's good to know what to fence in and what to keep out.
Perhaps these boundaries sometimes need to change.
The beach with either tide in or tide out - both necessary, both beautiful. Life too has its tide in, tide out phases - also necessary even if not always feeling beautiful.
Happy people, happy dogs!
Unselfconscious enjoyment.
This woman was singing along to her phone the whole length of the beach. I passed her twice.
Steps for the steep places - with a lower handrail for shorter people!
Made me think of how God graciously meets us at just the "height" we have grown to.
Sand - such versatile material with many, many uses.
My sturdy walking shoes making this walk possible.
Stopping at my favourite cafe for an excellent coffee and a muffin after an hour's walk.
On to the library - another of my favourite places.
I went to collect one book and came home with three to add to the one I'm currently reading!
Two novels and two non-fiction seems like a balanced diet!
While in the library I could hear these tiny tots having a story time. Then they were walking back to their childcare centre all holding onto a central nylon cord with a loop for each child to hold.
A caring teacher was keeping watch at each end of the procession.
I feel abundantly grateful for all the enjoyment and blessings on my morning pilgrimage walk!
