Tales & Trails of a Traveling Wiseguy

On Friday Hawk and I went for a lunchtime walk around the neighborhood, inspired by a house a few blocks away with a hard full of California poppies. We didn't just go there and back, though. We figured as long as we're out, let's make more of a walk of it. We used to walk the neighborhood frequently but have fallen out of the habit. "Let's loop the blocks to see what's changed," I proposed.

We noticed a few changes, but those aren't what really caught our attention. We saw... MOAR wildflowers!



This house another block away also has a front yard that looks like it started out as a tended garden but has been left to grow wild. Or maybe it's a bit of benign neglect. Either way, the current result is interesting.

We looped around the far side of that block and saw several more displays of flowers that looked clearly... planted.



These occupied a small patch in the sidewalk island, as did the next few.







In beauty I walk... even if it's on the sidewalk in my neighborhood!
