STROLLING

The definition of stroll is "to walk leisurely as inclination directs."

The fun of strolling is to not have a plan and thereby not know where you are going to end up.

I recently took a stroll around this lovely lake.

And ended up sitting in this romantic gazebo with a special someone.

The sun was warm and the breeze was cool.  Such a wonderful afternoon.

Along the way it's important to pay attention to the little things.   The sights, smells and sounds can be a wonderful healer for tired minds and hearts. 

We had the pleasure of meeting these wonderful newborn creatures.

And this little guy was peeking at us from his hiding place in the corner of the lake.

The scent of the flowers was intoxicating. 

As we rounded a corner we came upon this beautiful lady watching over our progress.

She reminded me of the ladies from centuries past who walked hand in hand down the garden path on cool summer evenings.  I thought maybe she would come down off her pedestal and join us.  But sadly we had to leave her in her flowery home.

Promenade is another word for strolling.  It's a beautiful word isn't it.

Promenading used to be a popular afternoon pastime.

I think we should bring back that tradition, don't you.

I hope you have a chance to add a stroll to your day.

Enjoy every minute of it.
