How hard can it be to take a walk every day? That’s what I told myself when I resolved that this year, in 2020, I would go out and walk every day with my camera in hand. It only took seven days to break me down. To be fair, I’ve been sick since the year started, so it’s taken a rather Herculean effort just to keep up with it. Today I woke up feeling crummier than usual and decided, nope, not gonna do it. I took a gander at the sunrise but wasn’t feeling the shout of joy. I sat with my tea and kleenex close at hand and enjoyed the beautiful feeling of being sedentary. Ahh…I was settled in for the morning.
Then God completely outfoxed me. It started snowing, one of those magical soft snowfalls, and it was like the sirens singing with their irresistible song. “Come outside…you must come outside…” I obeyed the imperative and went out.
The first photo is of our glorious Christmas tree. If that doesn’t fill you with delight, contact me and I will refund your deflated hopes and restore to you the curmudgeonly spirit with which you started your day.
As for the rest, as usual, I photographed as I went along, finding some colorful lizards and a sporty little frog on my journey. It would have been too much to ask for more than that. I spiced up the froggie photo on a couple different photo processing apps. You’re welcome.

The snow beckoned me
With soft hands and wintry song.
I dared not say no.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning. All except the frog.

Don’t sell yourself short. It takes an enormous amount of willpower to go outside in this weather. The wind can be brutal. Even more willpower to take off your gloves and shoot some photos. More willpower than I have most days. (Of course, you’re a lot younger than me!) 😆

Well, I wouldn’t say A LOT younger, but thanks for acknowledging the cold fingers. I can tell you know of which you speak.

Thanks for your all too human response to feeling crummy and saying, “no, not today”. And thanks for your delightful respond to His invitation. I will look forward to your next installment!
