🙂 I love that photo! Have no idea who the woman is, but when I’m her age and in a wheelchair, I hope to be wearing colorful hats and “walking” the paths, too.
You are most welcome, Marge. These are some of my favorite places, and paths I run to when I need to “feel the warm breeze on my face.” Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.
Ahhh. . . That sounds so nice. I’m glad you feel that way. I wish I could take everyone to those places. Each is special and wonderful in some way. My husband and I take lots of walks down many paths. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Jo! The woman in the wheelchair is indeed fabulous, and like you, is the person I want to be like ~ festive, interested and interesting, still filled with awe of natural beauty, etc. ~ when I am old. BTW, I stopped by your blog and LOVED it. . .
Thanks Doris. The trails are so relaxing for me. My husband and I walked them frequently. Now that we are in a new place, I can’t wait to explore new paths. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks J9Style. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. Glad, too, that you like the photos. The first photo is on a trail that includes all sorts of whimsical fairy-tale-type structures. I love it! 🙂
Thanks Ramoncito. I always appreciate your comments. Now that our move is out of the way, I hope to get back to visiting my “blogging buddies” more regularly. Thanks for sticking with me. I look forward to catching up with your wonderful blog! 🙂
Thanks Doris. Yes, the woman in the hat is the lady I want to be when I am old and feeble and must get around with a wheelchair, but still full of life and color and wonder. Glad you like it/ her! Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be visiting your place soon.
Thanks Elizabeth. Now that we are in our new place, I have begun the process of trying to get caught up with everyone. I’ve missed reading everyone’s blogs. I will certainly check yours out. Yours are always so thoughtful. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks SIG. These are all wonderful paths that my husband and I used to stroll along before moving to OH. I’m anxious to start exploring this ares, too. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful pictures! I live in AZ where there’s a lot of browns and dull greens in nature, so I LOVE when people share pictures of lush green vegetation, colorful flowers, and wildlife. Thanks! 😀
AZ has its own kind of beauty. I’ve spent time there and love the state. But you are right, it lacks the lushness that more moderate climes offer. Glad you like the photos. And thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated.
Thanks, Gobetween. Glad you like them. These are some of my favorite places to take walks, although now that we have moved I will have to find new paths. 🙂
Love, love, love the pictures! I would relish wandering down any of those paths. The shot of the lady in her hat was very endearing. Hope you find lovely new walkways in your new home.
Thanks Mama’s! We are good at scouting out new trails when we move, which has been too frequent. I look forward to exploring the area and seeing what we can find. But I will miss the old haunts. As you can see, some of them were “magical.” Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Patti. I love that lady even though I’ve never met her. I turned a corner in the path and there she was. When I caught up to her she was in such reverie (or maybe dozing) that I didn’t want to disturb her. Since I shot the photo from behind and there were no identifiable features, I left well enough alone. Her colorful hat, and the fact that she was enjoying an afternoon “strolling” along a path says it all. Thanks for stopping by.
Glad you like them. These are photos of special places where my husband and I use to take regular walks. It please me that they “invoke more senses than just sight!” Have a look around my site and I hope to see you back here from time to time. Have a splendid day.:-)
the cobbled path with the park bench….just beautiful…love the colours in all the pics…
Especially the one with the lady wearing the hat…the red ribbon in the hat just compliments the pic…
Thanks for stopping by. The woman in the hat is proving to be a real winner! All of these paths are wonderful to stroll along. . . beautiful, peaceful, serene. Now that we have moved, my husband and I will have to scout out new paths to share. Hope you are having a splendid day!
Glad you enjoy the post. I love paths that have benches nestled among flowers or trees where one can sit and contemplate nature’s beauty. I will miss those paths. But we will soon start exploring new paths here in our new home and I am sure we will be rewarded with beautiful places here, too. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a glorious day. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! The top photo and bottom photo were both taken in Silver Spring, MD last summer. The middle photo was taken in Valley Station, KY this past July. Since then we have moved to OH so I’ll be looking for new paths to share with y’all! 🙂
I’ll try to get a little more creative later in the week. Have a great weekend everyone!
Inspired Vision 
Old Lady looks like Marjory Stoneman Douglas in the right setting right down to the hat
🙂 I love that photo! Have no idea who the woman is, but when I’m her age and in a wheelchair, I hope to be wearing colorful hats and “walking” the paths, too.
Oh, you must read about her. She was our Isis of the Florida Everglades _ River of Grass.
I will definitely look her up! Sounds fascinating.
Beautiful, full of life! the greenery makes each of them so special.
Thank you! I love walks through wooded areas, or beautiful gardens.
Nice colours.
Thanks! 🙂
very cute 🙂

Great photos – it’s as if I can smell the pine needles and feel the warm breeze on my face. Thanks so much!

These are indeed wonderful pathways. Thanks for stopping by.
lovely…I could sit there for a long time and compose a poem
Ahhh. . . That sounds so nice. I’m glad you feel that way. I wish I could take everyone to those places. Each is special and wonderful in some way. My husband and I take lots of walks down many paths. Thanks for stopping by.

Glad you like them. Thanks for stopping by.
Great photos. Looks like some nice paths to take to sit or walk and meditate.

Lovely shots – but the woman in the wheelchair is fabulous – if that is ever me I hope I look so festive

Love the last shot best. What a great hat!
Thanks Doris. Yes, the woman in the hat is the lady I want to be when I am old and feeble and must get around with a wheelchair, but still full of life and color and wonder. Glad you like it/ her! Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be visiting your place soon.
I hope you have a great weekend too! Check out my blog post because I’ve awarded you the Liebster Blog Award for having such an engaging blog!
Why Thank YOU! I am honored. I’ll be by to check it out. And thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I always appreciate your input.
These are very pretty pathways… quite lovely! Do stop by and see my photo challenge submissions sometimes.. I know you’ve been busy. 😉
Thanks Elizabeth. Now that we are in our new place, I have begun the process of trying to get caught up with everyone. I’ve missed reading everyone’s blogs. I will certainly check yours out. Yours are always so thoughtful. Thanks for stopping by.
beautiful paths – through gardens and through life…. love the story your images convey. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, P&K. I love paths that take us through lovely wooded areas or gardens. Soothing for the soul. Best to you.
Very nicely done, Ms. F…
these look like some wonderful places to go for a stroll!
🙂

A nice selection of paths. Like the little old lady enjoying the plants. some nice looking gardens there 🙂
I love that lady. . .I want to be as festive and awestruck with nature as I imagine her to be when I am her age. Thanks for stopping by.
fine to rest there!
Yep! Great places for peaceful walks and to just sit and observe. Wonderful Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful photos. They are all so inviting and peaceful.
Thanks, Gobetween. Glad you like them. These are some of my favorite places to take walks, although now that we have moved I will have to find new paths. 🙂
The third one is good. Works as metaphor for life too.
Thanks for stopping by, IsobelandCat! Glad you like the lady with the hat. That seems to be a favorite, for me too.
i would like to walk each path, the last hopefully in the company of the lady in the picture
I would like to be in the company of the lady with the hat, too! Glad you like the paths. Each has its own magic.
Love, love, love the pictures! I would relish wandering down any of those paths. The shot of the lady in her hat was very endearing. Hope you find lovely new walkways in your new home.
Thanks Mama’s! We are good at scouting out new trails when we move, which has been too frequent. I look forward to exploring the area and seeing what we can find. But I will miss the old haunts. As you can see, some of them were “magical.” Thanks for stopping by.
My fav is the one with grandma sittin on her chair 🙂
Mine, too. I just love her and I don’t even know her, but that hat says a lot! Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
I can find serenity here cecil..Thanks for showing this path is so colorful very good for my eyes..=)
Glad to know that you found these photos to be so serene. They are wonderful paths to stroll along and I’m happy to share them with you all.
So relaxing and inviting, such fabulous shots and I am sure the lady in her chair has a smile as bright as her lovely hat!
Thanks Patti. I love that lady even though I’ve never met her. I turned a corner in the path and there she was. When I caught up to her she was in such reverie (or maybe dozing) that I didn’t want to disturb her. Since I shot the photo from behind and there were no identifiable features, I left well enough alone. Her colorful hat, and the fact that she was enjoying an afternoon “strolling” along a path says it all. Thanks for stopping by.
Great shots… they really invoke more senses than just sight!
Glad you like them. These are photos of special places where my husband and I use to take regular walks. It please me that they “invoke more senses than just sight!” Have a look around my site and I hope to see you back here from time to time. Have a splendid day.:-)

Lovely post. I long to linger on that bench.
Glad you enjoy the post. I love paths that have benches nestled among flowers or trees where one can sit and contemplate nature’s beauty. I will miss those paths. But we will soon start exploring new paths here in our new home and I am sure we will be rewarded with beautiful places here, too. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a glorious day. 🙂
What beautiful pictures! Where is this path?
Thanks for stopping by! The top photo and bottom photo were both taken in Silver Spring, MD last summer. The middle photo was taken in Valley Station, KY this past July. Since then we have moved to OH so I’ll be looking for new paths to share with y’all! 🙂
I can sit on that bench all day and just contemplate as I stare at the beautiful garden. I love all the photos.
As I recall, I have spent quite a bit of time on that bench (and a few others) contemplating the beauty around me. Thanks for stopping by.
Best photo and reminds me of my grandma, have a great day.
thank you Jackie. I’m glad you like her…she reminds me of special people, too. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Thank you for stopping by Jackie. I’m glad you like the photo. It happens to be one of my favorites, too. 🙂
