Another purple flower.

Pretty purple flower that my daughter picked for me on our walk the other night.

Pretty purple and white flowers on this evening's walk. 

Wordless Wednesday: Sunset walk

Gold light

It was nice enough this evening to get out for a walk! YAY! This is a picture of the sun setting that I tool. I love how the gold light is glowing through the trees!.

Beautiful sky

I took this photo during my walk this evening! I love the light of the sun beginning to go down and the little sliver of moon showing! The swish of the trees looks so cool to me, too! I LOVE nature and adore nature photography!

Stairs

.These stairs - and two other sets similar to this one - are at a park near my house. My husband has been climbing up and down them as part of his exercise regime for a couple of weeks now. He challenged me to do them and I accepted. It's 416 steps round trip. I walked from our home to the park, went up and down theses stairs and walked home. It was a heck of a workout that I am still feeling the day after! I can't wait to do this again - probably tomorrow. 

Exercise the writing muscle

Yes! I believe this with all of my heart! I get cranky if I don't write. I get cranky if I don't exercise, too. I need both to feel my best. WHen I am writing and physically exercising on a regular basis I feel like a better mom, wife and person in general. 

Exercise and nature aid creativity

I have noticed a direct correlation for myself between exercise and creativity. When I haven't exercised for a while I feel grouchy. I also notice that my ideas don't flow quite as well when writing. Believe me, I push through because I won't let writer's block be a thing that gets in my way. However, when I exercise and take the time to notice the beauty in nature around me I am more clear-headed. I have often worked through a plot problem while out exercising. I have gotten great ideas, as well. In fact, I have taken to carrying a small notebook and pen while out exercising for the purpose of jotting down the ideas that come to me.

Also, does anyone know what the plant in the picture is called?
