Me and Dizzy are on a little, getting ourselves out and about, mission at the moment. 🙂
After our relapses last year me and Dizzy have not been going that far (due to a muddly mix of wobbliness, anxiety and fatigue), but last month we decided to start venturing out on a little walk everyday. We won’t be walking any marathons just yet, but we’re definitely getting further than we use to. 🙂
This was where we decided to potter to for our little morning adventure today: 🙂
We decided to go the park and see the ducks!
There were lots of little baby birds about. 🙂
Can you spot where the little baby bird is hiding?
Dizzy tried to get a bit too close to these two. We would have got a better photo but as soon as I took this one they started hurrying towards Dizzy at quite a speedy pace…
Dizzy was not to be deterred though, and soon found a grasshopper to make friends with instead. 🙂 Even if Mr. Grasshopper does look a bit surprised about the situation…
Dizzy then started getting far to adventurous and starting climbing up a tree! I told her that this one was not for a Heather.
After managing to get Dizzy down, we went to see the swans. 🙂
Then Dizzy announced that she was a hungry Dizzy, and we decided it was time to potter home. 🙂
Do you have a favourite place to go walking? And why is it your favourite place? 🙂 xxx
looks like a nice outing was had for Dizzy.
Dizzy loved it! And we’ve been lucky to have the sun out all day. 🙂 xxx
Ha! I just photographed ducks when I walked Dakota the other day but we sure didn’t have any beautiful swans there like you did!
I love seeing the ducks! 🙂 Did you see any baby ones? 🙂 xxx
Great pictures! Looks like you and Dizzy had a really nice walk. I enjoy making my way over bridges or hills because the way down is always so nice to look at.
I think we might have to build up to hills. 🙂 I do agree with you though, and the views are lovely. 🙂 xxx
It’s great to get out and about, thanks for the lovely photographs 🌹
I find it makes such a difference to how I then feel the rest of the day. 🙂 Hope you’re having some sunshine there too. 🙂 xxx
I go to a lake near our house every morning to read the paper, devotional & have quiet time. They’re ducks & geese abound, much like in your photos.
Dizzy best beware of the geese & their babies. Mama & papa goose can be mean.
Thanks for posting your adventures.

That sounds such a wonderful way to start the day Walter. 🙂 I think taking just a bit of time in the morning to relax can make all the difference. 🙂
I think Dizzy has learnt her lesson after today. To just enjoy watching the geese at a distance. 🙂 They can move fast too! xxx
Glad to see you are both enjoying some sunshine. Being outside always makes the soul lift!🌞🌸
It really does, and seeing the ducks always makes us happy. 🙂 Hope you’re having some sunshine there too. 🙂 xxx
What a rewarding outing. Glad you could go.
Thank you. 🙂 We are planning more for the bank holiday weekend. xx Hope you have a lovely weekend. 🙂 xxx
Looks like a lovely outing! Hope you’re taking care of yourself. Char // https://lunarchar.com/ xx
Thank you Char. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂 xxx
I usually stay pretty close to home—in the neighborhood. Right now I live in a very hilly location, and with increased mobility issues, I stay on exercise equipment. Not as fun, but safe and good exercise!
I think hills would be abit much for me too. Exercise equipment is still really good to do. 🙂 xx Hope you have a lovely weekend Jo. 🙂 xxx
You too!!
This looks like a very nice park. I love to see the geese and swans. We have a small lake near us and every year two swans nest there. Last year they raised two goslings that grew to full size by the start of winter. They all go away during the winter as the lake freezes over. But I have seen they are back this year and one of them is on the nest which is quite well concealed from the road in among the rushes.
Aww, that’s so cute. They have obviously found a good spot for their babies. 🙂 There were a couple of baby swans at the park, but they were right out on the little island in the middle of the lake. 🙂 xxx
That is an excellent place for an adventure.
I used to live somewhere that was not adventure adjacent. Walked had to be done along a busy road with pig-trucks swooping by, or not at all. Now I live somewhere I can wander to a few different parks, one with a pond (haven’t seen any swans though, mostly ducks), and even a coffee shop.
Aww, it sounds as though you now live in the perfect place for little adventures. I love ducks too! 🙂 Hopefully you will get to see baby ducks. 🙂 xxx
After your relapse…this little jaunt is such a major step in re-entering activities you and Dizzy so much enjoy. I’m happy for you two…tho Dizzy getting up in the tree had me worried for a while.
It’s so true. 🙂 I definitely couldn’t have walked this much a couple of months ago. 🙂 The sun being out definitely helps too. 🙂 Dizzy is naughty, she’s always climbing up trees when she gets the chance! xx Hope you have a wonderful weekend Laura. 🙂 xxx
QUACK QUACK!!! That looks like a fun place to adventure in.
Near my house I have a path near a river, in a forest, I go there all the time. But what relax’s, the most is sketching and taking photos for some reason 😁🌿🌷.
Aww, that sounds lovely! I love forests too. I find taking photos the most relaxing, and Dizzy does like having her photo taken. 🙂 xxx
Sometimes a little walk does wonders! The other day my son and I ventured to a nearby park and discovered a nature path we’d never knew existed, across from the park, connecting to the neighborhood there. There was even a pretty bridge over water to cross.
It’s so true, even just short ones can make all the difference. xx That sounds lovely, I love discovering new places. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend Camie. 🙂 xxx
Beautiful photos! There’s a park not too far from where I live where I like to take a wander, but I haven’t been in ages; awful really as it’s not that far at all. It’s peaceful but often gets really busy when the weather’s nice. It’s just so refreshing and calming and grounding because there’s a little water, lots of grass and trees and fresh air (rather than car fumes for a change). I can see why Dizzy likes to take a wander to the park to see the ducks! I think you’re doing really well taking a little walk each day and venturing a little further when you’re able to =]

That’s the only problem when the weather turns nice, and I don’t really like going to park when it’s all busy. Luckily this one doesn’t seem to get to busy. People seem to more visit the other parks near by (but they don’t have ducks!).
And thank you. 🙂 It does feel such a positive step forward. 🙂
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. 🙂 xxx
I took inspiration from you and went to that park I mentioned – gorgeous weather, just sat there and had a little lunch by myself, people watched, did a little writing. Felt very positive for me too.
I’m with you on the parks – I’d rather go where it’s a little quieter and has duckies than one that doesn’t!
xx
I love doing all of those things in the park. The photos are so beautiful too! 🙂 Were there many ducks when you were there? 🙂 xxx
Beautiful!
Thank you Lindsay. 🙂 xxx

Thank you. Have fun
Thank you, for you, as well.
You have a nice blog and you also write well. Can you please review my first article. I want to know whether it has got any potential or not.
What a beautiful spot! I’m glad you and Dizzy had a nice outting!
Thank you. 🙂 We’re exploring different parks this week. 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely week. xxx
Great pictures! It looks like you and dizzy had a good time 🙂
We are enjoying the sun finally making an appearance too. 🙂 I hope you’re having a wonderful week. 🙂 xxx
That’s good to hear! In here, the sun is always shining so it’s always hot. Thank you! I’m enjoying the week with my daughter. The youngest is having a vacation in our hometown. I hope you and dizzy enjoy the rest of the week 🙂.
I love walking my dog through our neighborhood! It’s fun to let him take the lead and choose our path (within reason!). We don’t go far (he’s recovering from a torn ACL and my fatigue keep us pretty close to home but we love the time outside! Gotta get that Vitamin D!!!
Aww, what type of dog do you have? We have a collie but he’s very shy and doesn’t like venturing too far. xx And it’s so true about the vitamin D! 🙂 xxx
I have a giant snuggle bug who is husky/german shepherd/something BIG (we are not totally sure what he is)!
I have not been getting your posts on my reader..sigh so I popped by to check. I am very happy you are up and about. Baby steps for walks is a good start. Good effort and lovely share of photos☺👍
Thank you for popping by to check! 🙂 I get the same thing! I will suddenly think of someone and realise I haven’t seen them on here in ages, will then find there blog and realise it just doesn’t show me their new posts anymore. It’s very strange. :/ Glad you liked the photos, Dizzy does love having her photo taken. 🙂 Hope you’re having a good week. 🙂 xxx
You too💕
Beautiful pictures! What a fabulous place for an outing! ❤️ Dizzy definitely looks happy! 😁
Thank you, it is so pretty there. 🙂 Dizzy was having a great time! 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely week. 🙂 xxx
Thank you!! I surely hope you are too! 🌞😀
What a beautiful park!
It is really pretty. Dizzy especially likes it. 🙂 xxx
