Pictures from a Spring Walk, and Giveaway Winner

April 29, 2012 by Cassie 26 Comments

Happy Sunday!  Today, I am taking a little break from project posts to share some fun cell phone pictures I have snapped on my morning walks with Jake this Spring.  It’s been so beautiful watching it for the first time in this area.  And because I am scared I will see a bear, I always carry my cell phone on my walks.  At least I can call Chris and the kids and just say I love them before I get eaten.  Anyhow, let’s get back to happier thoughts and scenes from our walk….

beautiful poppy…

May apple- I just love these!  There is something magical about them  I think their flowers look like fairy hats.

Jake greeting the calves.  They moo at us sometimes, whereas the adults usually ignore us.

This photo cracks me up because all the poppies are facing the wall.  I call it “Poppies in Time Out”.

My favorite walking buddy…

And finally, back home and up the loooong uphill driveway.  Perfect way to end the walk!

I love my morning walks when the air is fresh and Spring like, and I love seeing all the flowers bloom.  Perhaps the last picture ever taken on my cell phone will look something like this…..

    Hi Cassie, thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I love this post. I especially enjoyed seeing the scenes from your walk. Your landscape is so different from where I live. It’s nice to get a look into the life and surroundings of people who live elsewhere. The poppy shot was too cute!

    i don’t even think a can of maize(?) can take care of that bear. let’s hope you don’t cross paths with anything quite this large. where do you live that you would see bears on your walks?

    Hahaha! “Poppies in time out.” You crack me up! Um, please don’t get eaten by a bear. I’m sure Jake would protect you and himself!

    You are not going to get eaten by a bear!! Something tells me you’d win the fight and your next project would involve something fur covered! A chair? A bench? The possibilities are endless.
    Love Poppies In Time Out!!

    Looks like a lovely walk! I grew up living in “the country” and loved the solitude and beauty of it.

    nice post. I too love May Apples but I hear they are not to be eaten-not that I wanted to. How lucky are you to have such a great place to walk?

    The only thing I’m afraid of walking into is a squirrel – maybe a raccoon on an extremely “wild” day. Wonderful surroundings for your morning walk.

    OMG, you really have bears near your house! Gawd! I am still freaking about having moved to a country where they have snakes and big spiders (no snakes at all in NZ). Touch wood I have seen either yet, but when I do, I think I’ll want to move back home, haha. I haven’t even seen a cockroach till I moved to Australia. Ewww they gross me out!

    Happy (safe!) walking my friend ๐Ÿ™‚

    ha, love the flowers in time out! Again, you live in such a beautiful area, we have no prettiness in dallas, just brown, brown, brown.

    Ha ha is it bad I thought “those poppies look like they’re in time out?” before I read what you wrote? Love it. And please don’t get eaten by a bear, we would all miss you a lot.
