Yesterday in the early evening hours I went hiking at Nockamixon State Park on the Bedminster side branching off of Kellers Church Road. It was a beautiful sunny and breezy evening. The weather was so warm that I chose to ware sandals and shorts. And it was good that I did so as many sections of the trails were muddy and covered with large water puddles. Below are photos of some of the sights I saw along the way.
Wouldn't one want real shoes when they come in contact with water or mud rather than getting their feet wet and dirty or am I the weird one of the group? :-)
Thanks, murf. I don't know how most people are. But I love the feel of earth and water against my feet. If it were safe and socially acceptable, I would love to go barefoot all the time. My feet want to be free. :)
Hi, murf. A few days ago on an all news radio station I heard about a scientific study that says there is a certain type of bacteria in soil that makes people happier when they get their feet dirty in it. And I agree that when I get my feet dirty in soil, I do get happier. Now what do you think of that? :)
It's particularly difficult to take the blue color of periwinkle and you took it successfully It's difficult too to get a pretty neat violet Yours is pretty nice
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

I love the blue in the first picture.

I don't know how most people are either but I have to wear socks. The thought of getting my feet dirty makes me cringe.

Like Murf, I too like the first pic, but I also like the feeling of mud between the toes. However, I'm mostly a sandal, flipflop kind of guy!
loved that li'l orange flower posing for you ..:)
The flowers are gorgeous!!! :) wow
You make me jealous, I would love to be hiking there and seeing all the new signs of life. Great shots of your section of the word.
I always love seeing the forsythia, Tim. But that evergreen branch takes the cake!
Love the little blue flower amidst the field of vibrant green.
Oh, how I've missed your photos! It's good to be back!
I love the shore picture :)
Yay, spring! :)
Thanks, sage. So you love close contact with the earth, too. :)
Thanks, moi. That flower attracted me, too; but unfortunately was too low to the ground for me to get the angle I really wanted.
Thanks, merili. God knew how to make a beautiful creation.
Thanks, photowannabe. Glad you could join me on my hike online. :)
Thanks, ginnie. That evergreen branch photo fascinates me, too.
Thanks, kevin stilley. That photo is beautiful.
Thanks, ava. Welcome back! I hope you are doing well.
Thanks, mikaela. Those two pictures pull me, too. :)
Thanks, choochoo. I thoroughly agree with you. Yay, spring!

Yours is pretty nice
I like the grey water like an iced jelly
Beautiful! Looks like you have much of the same vegetation we have here - periwinkle (one of my personal favourites), forsythia, wild violets etc.
