A Walk Around Aldridge Lake

Walking around a beautiful lake is good for both the body and soul, and I am fortunate to live not far from Aldridge Gardens with its lake and walking trail. The gardens overlooking the lake are lovely, and a lot of people come to enjoy the serene views.

I always look forward to the rolling topography around the lake. Here are photos I took on a recent visit:

We saw a couple of guys fishing. The fish in this lake are big!

A nature walk is never complete without viewing the wildlife. These paused long enough to let me take their photos:

If you haven't already seen it, you may also enjoy my previous post, A Garden of the Heart, featuring the personal garden of Eddie Aldridge, the founder of Aldridge Gardens.

Have a great day!  Deborah 

Sunrise/Sunset

Seaside, Florida is famous for its spectacular sunrises and sunsets, as well as its charming architecture. It is one of our favorite vacation spots. This year my family enjoyed the Thanksgiving holidays there, and we were fortunate that our rental cottage had a rooftop deck that had fabulous views of the city and Gulf of Mexico. We enjoyed watching the sunsets there. One morning I got up early and, after wrapping myself in my long wooly robe, went to the roof top to take photos of the sunrise. I was trying to decide which is more beautiful, sunrise or sunset. 

The photos I took did not make my decision easier.

Here are some shots of sunrise, looking over the rooftops of Seaside:

So which do you prefer, sunrise or sunset?
