Misty Rain Walk

I find it very relaxing to take walks during my lunch or dinner hour.  The weather has turned cold again and even though it was misting a little bit I managed to get out of the Library building.  It's really invigorating to come close in contact with nature especially after 4 + hours of Library work.
Now that I take one picture a day as part of the Flickr Project 365 challenge I always have an excuse to take walks and find subjects to photograph.

Layers and Layers of Termite Damage

 Old Pine Tree

 This log is completely covered in moss.  So beautiful!

 This tree Lichen is as bright as it looks.  I love the beautiful shade of green.

This walk was particularly special today and it did wonders to refresh me.  I'm so glad I did take the walk even on this misty day.

Interesting Walk in the Woods

Everyone knows that walking is good for you so yesterday after lunch I used the last 25 minutes of my lunch hour and walked through the woods near the University City Library.

Cute Critter....A little unusual to encounter one in plain day light. I was  told by a co-worker that he could have been rabid.  He did not make any attempt to attack.  He was soaked and wet from all the rain.  I was delighted to have met him.

The Pretty Sights around University City Regional Library

I have been exploring some places around the University City Regional Library and the best discovery so far is the beautiful lake. It's the perfect place to go for a walk. In order to walk a couple of miles, I do have to plan and leave home earlier.

My first walk was refreshing  invigorating...   I did end up sweaty...and had to stand in front of one of a fan at work. 

 I loved seeing the ducks and there really was not much of a mess on the walking paths. The ducks are used to people.  I was able to get really close to this one.

 Feeding is not allowed.

My goal is to walk on the days I'm not able to go to the gym due to my new work schedule at UC.

Looking forward to more walks......The full circuit around the lake is more than two miles.
