In a nutshell: new job brought lunch hours, lunch hours brought regular walks, I brought camera (occasionally), I post photos from those walks.
With the previous walk-log I wrapped up January. To start February, I'm showing not one, but two consecutive walks bunched together.
The first of the two was another short-ish walk. I went over to a rowing pier upstream, sat and sipped my coffe, and took in all the sunshine. The sky was intensly clear.
I mean, look at it!
I took my sweet time to enjoy the reflections and then slowly headed back.
The next day was just as sunny. We also welcomed some long overdue freeze that week - a faint echo of a "normal" February Freeze, but still a refreshing change after the long undead non-winter. (I'd later learn that some unusual wind patterns had "locked in" the arctic air masses, so we were cut off from their usual influence and instead left in the mercy of soggy maritime breeze.)
Like the day before, I walked upstream, but this time I picked the other bank.
The sloshing bundles of travelling ice made for a most captivating sight. There was also a teensy bit of rumbling going on.
Along with the passing ice, I noticed the increased bird activity. Horny ducks. Cheeky crows. Horny ducks on ice.
I circled back through the historical wooden district. On my way back I finally remembered to grab some shots of this building and the art-nouveau-ish street art on it. (I pass this house regularly when I walk this route, but usually I'm in a rush by the time I reach it, or the traffick gets in the way.)
Here are some close-ups as well.
Someone had lost a shiny thing. I left it be.
I still have a few walk records from February in store, and even a few from March. Stay tuned!
