SubscribeThe joy of walking
It is during my early morning walks that I reflect on the joys of life: my relationships with my daughter, mother, siblings, family and friends, the magic of sunlight filtering through dew-soaked trees, the art of spider webs, the power of faith.
I’ve found a trail near my home that stretches for six miles through wetlands and trees. I enjoy the sounds of the birds and crickets and the croaking of animals unseen who live in the wetlands. It’s a time of reflection and prayer.
Here is some of the beauty that I encounter during my hour walk most weekdays and up to two hours on Saturdays. Ah.

Wow, you make me want to go through with my morning 1 mile walk which I’d decided to cancel since I climbed 15 flights of stairs last night. Isn’t nature a beautiful sight and it is so funny how sometimes we can over look the small things that signifies the amazing wonders of the work of God. Those are great pictures of nature and thanks for the share.
