Sherry went to visit her sister – so I had no car – but – that did not matter – I walked!
I decided that instead of one big walk for the day –
I would break it up and do several smaller walks
So I walked four times!
And it was a total of 6 1/2 miles!
The first picture was the beach entrance I choose – after walking .60 miles to get there!
This picture is of me after walking onto the beach.
It was a great walk and the sun came out making it warm!
I choose this entrance because I walked a new path
and it brought me to this street.
You see – every street here running West to East –
ends in a beach entrance and most have parking lots!
So I turned left – North – and headed up the beach – back to our normal entrance!
It was almost to low tide – not many people there!
Looking back the way I had just walked! Still not many people!
The beach exit I choose – I came here because to the right is a ramp and it leads to a bench to sit down on. The sand has nearly reclaimed that part- but I find it peaceful to just sit and listen to the surf and watch the people!
Plus there is a boardwalk all the way back to the parking lot-
giving you time to clean off any sand in your shoes!
One last look down the beach from where I had just walked.
To let you know – I write and schedule these blogs ahead of time!
So – today we are now into our fourth day of SOCIAL DISTANCING!
And – we are doing okay – it has it effect more so on Sherry
than on me!
One of the ways to walk on the paths that we have close to us over 15 miles of different paths that we have!
Sherry is the one who moves the most
the one who inspires me to move!
So – we decided that we could and would walk
and still keep our distance from other people!
The paths are wide –
enough so that you can pass and stay at least
eight feet away or more!
Once we leave the street we begin our walk through the trees – bush and grass areas!
This path was almost three miles long
and had we not taken a short cut –
it would of been over three miles!
When leaves are out this becomes very shaded and cooler in the hot summer!
Our walk takes us through many wooden areas
and toward the very large pond!
At this point we can choose to walk the left side of the pond or cross this bridge and walk the right side of the pond!
Both left or right go completely around the pond
and there are birds – turtles and fish to be seen.
In the distance was the only person we saw that was walking the same direction as us!
Here you can see a row of houses to the right –
and we are headed toward the new
over 55 community
that is still being built!
In the far left distance is a section of over 55 communityThe community gets closer this is but a small part and I would say they are a good two or more years before they are built out!To the right are the townhouses four stories with elevators! And directly ahead the huge community center!The over 55 community center with both indoor and outdoor pools!Looking back from the direction from the way we had come and the housing on the left side of the pond path!These are all new saw several of these owls I suppose to keep the geese at bay!
The pond is up – although we have not had hard rains
but slow gentle ones!
I noticed these owls which before December
were not here!
Past the new what I call Brownstones!
We decided instead of continuing on the pond path
To walk the sidewalk past the over 55 Brownstones!
Notice no traffic on the highway! This is a four lane road with 40 MPH or faster and always full of traffic so much that we sometimes wait five minutes to see traffic decrease so we can cross!
I hope this shows just how a walk
can break that time spent inside during this time!
