A Walk In the Woods

So... I was walking through the woods the other evening, enjoying a cool, brisk walk and out of no where I spot this ---

small turtle. BUT, I didn't have my camera to catch a picture of it so I thought I'd add this beautiful photo taken during a recent trip to the St. Louis Zoo. (I know, I know the zoo? St Louis? When were you in St. Louis?"; these are your thoughts, aren't they Mandy?)

I gotta tell 'ya; I've been to a lot of zoos but I've never seen the Tigers and Bears so active. I was impressed and that is hard to do sometimes. Anyway, hope you like the photo.

Springtime....

'ya gotta love it!

• sunsets after 8pm
• walks under the stars
• the smell of freshly mowed grass
• colorful flowers
• breeze through open windows
• sounds of birds chirpping
• springtime sports; softball
• cookouts with friends
• the scent of the air after a spring shower
• warm air
• green grass and blue skies

Springtime was here today. Instantly reminding me of the first few visits I had to Tennessee and what it was that led me here in the first place.

Happy Spring!
