Cedar Mill Falls & Blue Heron

 

Pokie is picking up Willow branches for home decorations. Since Pokie has not been to Cedar Mill Falls, I asked her if she wants to see it, she agrees. Ten years ago I went with Rod to this place but the water was much less than today. We made a short visit as we are hungry and it's almost lunch time.

SW Horizon Boulevard

 

I am glad that I went after my afternoon nap yesterday to see this place and taking pictures, the lighting is perfect if you ask me, cloudy and overcast, it was a beautiful afternoon. Walking up and down the street to capture the beauty of this place. Make sure that I do not miss anything that I could capture. The rest is history.

I have been waiting for another cloudy and overcast day, it's a perfect lighting if you ask me for nature photography. The colors of the trees as well as the flowers are popping out in a natural colors. Today is a perfect day, after we hit the gym I asked Pokie to stop by this spot while I compose and take in as much as I can.

I promised myself that I will walk 2.0 miles, so I ventured early Sunday morning and explored the neighborhood. It was an overcast and luckily the rain hold off until later that morning. I accomplished walking 2 miles that morning. By the end of the day, I managed to add another 1.5 miles bringing a total of walking that today to 3.5 miles.
