We made a quick (18 hours) out and back trip to Brownfield Texas today. It seemed like a good idea yesterday…but the last 100 miles were pretty rough.
The good news is….we never take a trip without stopping to take pictures. Here are a few of the sights from today’s journey.

I must apologize to all people being slammed with winter storms right now.
But it looks like Spring is right around the corner here in Texas. I noticed over the past few days the greenery of daffodils popping up. Today was the first bloom I spotted.
I realize winter isn’t quite finished with us…our temperatures will still have a few dips…I just hope they don’t dip low enough to injure these poor guys!!
I wanted to share a few more photos that were taken downtown Fort Worth the same night I took the Tarrant County Courthouse photo posted last night.
This is a photo I took right after the new year. It is of the Tarrant County Courthouse downtown Fort Worth. It is a beautiful building, built in 1895. It sits at the far South end of Main Street. This picture was taken from Sundance Square, the activity hub of downtown, 2 blocks North of the courthouse.
These photos were taken last Spring using my iPhone 5s,
Sugar and I were out walking when she spotted this small patch of flowers. She immediately stopped and started sniffing. Then she sat beside them and smiled. How could I not take pictures when my dog knows enough to stop and smell the flowers!!
I would like to call this series of photos “Let’s Not Fly A Kite” Me and several friends spent the good part of an afternoon trying to get the kite airborne….with no luck.
I choose to blame the wind. It couldn’t possibly be our lack of trick kite flying skills!

I feel it is time I share my true oddness with the blogging world. When I learned this week’s Word a Week Challenge was “play” I immediately thought of Stan!
Stan is a playful little monkey that enjoys traveling, walking and playing. He completed the 3 Day walk (60 miles) with me. He has traveled to Canada, West Texas and recently he joined me on a trip to Ohio and experienced snow for the first time.

Yesterday I visited a neighborhood garden near my office. I wasn’t sure what might be growing this time of year. But it was such a beautiful day it wouldn’t have mattered if the beds were bare. Just being outside was wonderful.
This is my friend Sonya walking through the forest in Northern Ontario. She looks so small compared to the surrounding trees. It seems we are all quite small compared to the overwhelming beauty of Mother Nature.
