A neighbourhood walk May 2026



Today I got outside for an hour’s walk.  It was very warm; spring flowers were in bloom in a lot of the yards; and the larch trees have their first green needles. I like seeing the larches in the city because they bring hikes on mountain trails to mind. We have a few larches in our neighbourhood and I keep track of them as the seasons change.

Today I wandered, stopping often to take photos with my phone.  There are so many things that are pleasing to my eye and I want to hold those moments even if I took similar photos last year, and the year before. I enjoy deciding where to stand  to get the best light; how to compose a shot, and how close to get to my subject. Sometimes .as with the flicker below, that's up to the subject not me. It was a good walk.

I love lilacs

Some think weeds: I think food for bees

Flicker didn't want her photo taken

New construction all over the place

Vibrant coloour
Interesting shapes

Silverish leaves

Napping hare

The flowers are so close together

Blossoms galore
