Outdoor Wednesday and Simple Pleasures Thursday

It is Outdoor Wednesday HERE .

It will be Simiple Pleasures Thursday on Thursday. One of the things I like doing is taking a morning walk. I love this old bridge that is in my walk.

I love the way the sunshine and shadows hit it. Weddings have even taken place here.

Then there is the soft patina of the old wood on one of the warehouses (very Old with some newer wood for repairs)

I just love the soft grey of worn wood! When I am done with my walk these days I pick a few of these off of my pear tree. This year the 8 squirrels have not eaten all of them!! So I get some and it is a treat!

  1. Hi Kim,
    What a great place to walk, I so love beautiful scenery and it looks like you do too. I would love to walk underneath that bridge. Your pears look wonderful, too.

  4. What a beautiful spot for a walk! I could only do it in the early morning hours, because I can't walk in heat and humidity! Love the pears - naughty squirrels!

  5. Kim, What a wonderful place for walks. Great looking pears and I bet they taste just as good as they look.

  6. Wow, Kim, the photos are amazing and how perfect for the Wednesday and Thursday blog events!! Those are very special....
    Thank you for telling me about Photobucket! I did this one on picasa but the reason it didn't work all day was because I needed to download different software because I have a mac...once i knew that, it was cake...sure glad for that!!!
    I'm going to look at Photobucket's too..thanks a million for the suggestion!!!
    Hugs,
    Cindy

  7. I’m visiting because of the Outdoor Wednesday Blog Hop. It’s easy to get lost in the midst of all those links and it may take me all week to read all the posts but your post has proven why it is worth the effort.

    I love the lines and texture in old architecture but I absolutely love that bridge. Beautiful

    I didn't get out on a walk this past week but I did catch sight of something in my back yard that made my heart soar. You are welcome to visit my blog and see what I mean if you get the time..

  8. BEautiful, beautiful photos. (But let me be an old woman here and say that I hope you're careful and alert while you're out walking.)
    I love to photograph old bridges and barns. Shoot! I just love to take pictures.

  10. I LOVE this and would have had to take pictures of it too! I could get completely "lost" on such a walk. Beautiful!

  11. Looks like a great place for a walk.

    And those pears, wow!! Most varieties are ripe in the fall, but I know the summer crisp variety is a summer pear. We have three pear trees, including one summer crisp...but we wont' be getting even one pear. We had a MISERABLE spring, including freezes in late April and early May, so all the fruit was lost.

    So I'm a bit envious of your pears.

    Have a lovely day,

  16. Hi Kim--so glad you found it!!! I try to post at least a couple a month that I do in photoshop...
    There's also one on the blog with vegetables...I don't know if you saw it, but you might want those too!
    Hugs,

  17. Hi Kim,
    I'd so love to stroll along under that bridge, too! It looks like a lovely place to walk and the photos you took of the old wood of the warehouse look great. We used to have a sickle pear tree when I was a girl and these pics brought back memories for me. Thanks!
