Walking by the Creek

I walked by the creek behind our complex yesterday. It was just before sundown and was cooler. I sometimes walk here rather than driving to a park. I should do it more often, it's a pleasant walk and not many people out usually. I pass the swimming pool, barbecue pits and picnic tables. Often people are there cooking and eating but it was quiet yesterday. As I walk on to the creek, the scenery is beautiful and serene, tall green trees and the creek trickling over rocks. I hope you have a beautiful quiet place to walk and meditate.

Nothing more peaceful than beautiful trees and flowing creeks.

@LovingMyBabies We go to different parks to walk and they are all special. Do you have special nature trails around you?

What a beautiful place to walk

! Wow, this is behind where you live? There are places out here where we can walk to - but we have to drive first to get to a place like this.

This is behind our apartment. We often drive to parks but this is a lovely place to walk without driving anywhere.

'tis been a staple'n my sanity fer quite some time. now if'n the hubs'd jest get the pond pump put back'n ('d to replace such), put my waterfall back together, myself 'n the critters'd be most content.

I thought you lived out in the wide open spaces with your horse, pastures, fields and creeks.

@crazyhorseladycx When we've owned homes it was never more than a few acres. But we have lived out in the country and there are always lakes, rivers and woodland around us. I'm sorry you had to sell your land.I hope you don't miss it too much.

In Alabama you have fields, creeks, trees and the whole shebang same as we do. I've never been away from trees.

It's quiet and peaceful. Nothing but birds and squirrels chirping. I see a chipmunk once in awhile or a black snake.

@Hannihar Black snakes are not poisonous so no worries and I hardly ever see one.

@Tampa_girl7 I know she enjoys it. Ours is not deep but sometimes I take my shoes off and wade. In some places it's knee deep.

Your photo of the creek looks very similar to the view I experience from the creek behind my house. Looks almost the exact same! I love taking walks along the creek, as it is very soothing and serene, and helps me relax. Sometimes I will set up my hammock along the banks and just lay there and take in all the beauty.

You've given me an idea. I would love to string up a hammock down there. I could spend a weekend swinging under the trees. Most places I've lived have had a creek or lake near by. I'd hate to be without it.I used to live by Lake Allatoona.

@RubyHawk It sounds like the park works for both of you. Probably leave the area above to those times when he isn't able to join you.

Thank you, I should walk here more often rather than driving to the park.But my better half likes to go to the parks. He can sit on a bench and speak with passers by while I walk..

The creek you walk by sounds really beautiful. I go to the park where there is ducks, and geese . It is really nice there.

This morning I'm following Mylot bunny trails. I enjoy walking, but in the last week or so we have been plagued with nasty little mosquitoes that swarm you the minute you step outside. Even our stiff breezes don't seem to deter them.
