Quiet Times

Hello all! My staycation is over and I'm thankful for the "sometimes" slower pace of my time off. I was able to walk in the park, shop, visit, read, and do extra chores. Willow is getting ready to celebrate her birthday soon :)
I like to take my photo walks in the morning. The light is beautiful. A cardinal enjoying the early hours in a tree.
I used my bird app to try and locate birds in the trees. I think this is a gold finch and it was grooming it's feathers.
Another photo from my walk in the park. The sound of a small waterfall is relaxing.
Emily enjoying the heated bed! With the rising cost of most items and unexpected expenses (hello, laptop!) I haven't had a chance yet to get Emily and Willow a gift for their birthday. Perhaps a heated bed for the colder months. Autumn seems to be making an early appearance this year. The leaves started to turn in early August. Take care! Be well :)

  1. Nice photos!
    A slower pace is maddening, but revealing too.

  2. I'm glad you have a lovely staycation! That waterfall looks so peaceful. If there was something like that here, I think I'd be there every day I could!

    Happy almost birthday to Willow!
