The Beach

Our week in Florida was spent taking walks along Ft. Myers Beach, biking and watching dolphins on Sanibel Island, kayaking at Lovers Key State Park and seeing a manatee, looking for shells along the shoreline, attending a MN Twins baseball spring training game, visiting with Mike’s parents, swimming in our pool and enjoying family time.  Here are the photos.

Last Bits of Color

While taking the dog for a walk and raking leaves on Saturday, Sophia collected a variety of maple leaves to create an artistic display.  After the leaves were all lined up on a birch log, I quickly took photos before the wind blew them away.  We were both pleased with how the photos turned out and decided to submit one to Capture Minnesota.   Our image was selected as Photo of the Day on October 25.  Perhaps Sophia and I should team up more often. 🙂

Walk In The Woods

Mike and I piled on the Fitbit steps last weekend by hiking some of the local trails. The fall colors were vibrant and the air crisp. We started the weekend by enjoying the stars and full moon on Friday.

A couple of photos in the backyard before we ventured out on Saturday.

We left our neighborhood, walked through the woods, past a pond and ended up on the Lake Superior Hiking Trail.

The next day we hiked in Hartley Park.
