  • Lunch Walk / Spring Flowers

    I ran across some lovely flowers while out on my walk today, I love this time of year, with everything bursting into bloom. ๐ŸŒฟ ๐ŸŒธ ๐Ÿ“ท

    My sinuses are grumpy, but my heart and eyes are singing!

  • The weather was so lovely over lunch, I went for a walk. ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    A white cloud icon indicating overcast weather, with text showing '74ยฐ Feels 74ยฐ Overcast for the hour,' against a blue background featuring illustrated green trees and hills.

    Whilst walking, I stumbled across the cutest flowers. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ“ท

    Pink and white flowers bloom on vine-covered plants, wrapping around a white picket fence in a garden.
  • Went down to the ‘Rents lake house to celebrate my Father’s birthday, and of course, enjoyed some good wine. ๐Ÿท

    A glass of red wine sits on a wooden surface, with blurred green trees and a lake in the background.

    My little brother took us out on the boat after the barbecue.

    Gentle waters extend towards a tree-lined shore under a cloudy sky.

    It really is beautiful down there, especially when most of the folks aren’t on the lake. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ“ท

    Clouds scatter across the sky over a serene lake surrounded by trees.

    Various cacti and desert shrubs occupy a landscaped area, under a partly cloudy sky. The text 'lostinahaste.com' overlays the bottom right.

    The last time I was in Arizona, I was out walking / jogging / running…and found a park full of cactus. ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿœ๏ธ #mbapr

    Billowing clouds dominate the view against a dark, moody sky. The website 'lostinthehaste.com' overlays at the bottom.

    I always enjoy the window seat when traveling, as commonplace as flying has become, the ability to soar into the sky amazes me. (I took this photo on a trip across the pond to Europe a few years ago, we were flying into the night.) โœˆ๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒ— #mbapr

  • ๐Ÿ“ท April 2024 Micro.Blog photo challenge, Day 8: Prevention

    A warning sign reads 'DANGER DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT' against a backdrop of tropical sea and sky. The website address 'lostinmhaste.com' is visible.

    Warning signs are a great danger prevention, even in paradise…aka, Hawaii; the beach was rocky and treacherous below. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ–๏ธโš ๏ธ #mbapr

    Sunset over choppy water with clouds partly obscuring the sun and darkening the skyline; the text reads 'lostininhaste.com.'

    There is nothing quite so serene as the sun setting on the beach / ocean. ๐Ÿš๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž #mbapr

    White bell-shaped flowers (lily of the valley) hanging from a curved stem amid broad green leaves; a white wall in the background.

    Lily of the Valley has always been my favorite flower. Some of my earliest memories are of me and Grandma, picking them on a shady hill at her old house. My Partner planted a ton of them in the backyard a few years ago. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒผ #mbapr

  • Decided to escape the house for a bit of nature with the Partner; in our defense, the sun was out when we started on our walk. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ

    It was a lovely walk, about four miles, in a local city park. ๐Ÿ“ท

  • Went skiing earlier, the first time in seven years. We had a great time but good grief, I’m sore…where is a hot-tub when you need one?! ๐Ÿคฃโ›ท๏ธ๐Ÿ“ท

    (Not pictured: the massive amount of beginners on the slopes, they were everywhere, crashing into everything. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ)

    A red snow groomer with a front blade is parked on a snowy surface, near pine trees and a clear sky overhead. A snowy ski slope with skiers and a chairlift, surrounded by trees under a blue sky with wispy clouds. Skiers descend a snowy slope with trees and clear skies. Skiers disembark from a chairlift atop a snowy hill. A snowy landscape with skiers on slopes and a chairlift, amidst leafless trees against a cloudy sky. Ski lift chairs ascend above a snowy slope with skiers; textured clouds and a setting sun provide the backdrop.
