Day 20

Today was Tim’s day off.  Generally we like to do something special….after a few chores are completed….like raking countless tarp-loads of leaves.    Oh…no….raking the leaves wasn’t the something special!  Haha!

After the chores we walked to a local Italian restaurant for a late lunch.

I had been fretting that I didn’t have all my 31 days blog posts planned and didn’t know what to do.

I wasn’t feeling very creative.

Then, Tim had a fabulous idea!

Since he is used to me always carrying my camera and stopping  to freeze that “fabulous shot” when we go for walks…I thought this was not only a great idea…but demonstrated his incredible patience with me.

He suggested that we count 100 steps and stop.

Wherever we were….at that point…I was to take a picture of whatever I could see.

It was quite a challenge.

And a fun one too!

We began this photo journey in the street in front of our house.

Are you enjoying the journey?

We are blessed that we live in a lovely town.

That makes it easy to want to get out and walk around it.

We often meet interesting people along the way.

These are just a few of the little things that make our journey an extraordinary one.

There is so much beauty around us….I haven’t gotten tired of walking the same streets for the year I’ve lived here.

 

Thanks for taking the journey with me.  What was your favorite photo?

 

Living life to the full…choosing to find what’s lovely and interesting around us…that’s being extraordinary.

You too can go for a 100 step photo journey.  You never know what extraordinary goodness awaits you!

Wishing you an Extraordinary weekend of discovery!
