The sites one sees on one’s morning walk, eh? Not to mention the scents one smells, right? These past few summer mornings have been lovely! The comforting aroma of cow and horse manure wafting over the breeze—the low-hum buzzing of the bumble bees as they flit from thistle blossom to thistle blossom in their rather heavy, bumbling-bee manner—the birds perched on the posts and singing their morning songs—the bunnies hiding in the grass! All of these things combine to make my morning walks so soothing—so greatly needed!
Wishing I could share it with you, I snapped a few photos this morning…just a few little views so that you can see a little bit of what I see when I’m walking in the fresh morning air!
As I stepped away from the house, I glanced down to see the clover, pasture grass and those little miniature daisies lining the dirt road as if Mother Nature had planted them there just to brighten my day!
Mmmmm! As the fresh morning air greeted me, my little bird friend (he/she is there every morning and just sits chirping away as I pass) greeted me with a friendly song! (I need to get a bird book and look up this little guy!)
Next, the bumble bee trail met me! These guys are huge! You know that scene in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”…the one where the guy is holding onto the bee…well I’m tell you, when one of these guys comes buzzing at you…it’s like a ‘point of view’ shot from that movie! Kind of gives me goose bumps (the bad kind) every time one zooms across my path!
Here’s the fence post…the place where I turn around and head back for home! I love this old post for some reason. You can even see
And here’s one looking down my driveway! You can sort of see the house nestled there among the trees across from the barns!
I didn’t see any bunnies on my walk this morning, but a little ground squirrel was there as I walked up toward the house. See if you can find him in the first photo before you see him up close in the second!
And now you, too, have seen a few of the sights I saw on my walk this morning! It’s a lovely walk! Wish you were here…we could ramble along the dirt road for hours just dodging giant bumble bees, listening to birds and savoring the wonderful, comforting scent of manure!

What a gorgeous view for your morning walks!! Wonderful photos!
Marcia, what a beautiful place to live. All I see on my walks are houses with a few fields mixed in. I do get to have some of the same smells sometimes. You are very blessed to have so much nature and beauty around you. I wish I could join you on one of those walks.
I do love it out here! Such peaceful, fragrant mornings!
Those are such beautiful photographs, Marcia. Thanks for sharing you're morning walk with us!
I would walk every morning too if I had views like that! I used to, but things change so much and life is so busy.
Things will change here, too, I'm afraid!
The pictures are really pretty!!
What gorgeous photos, it made me homesick!! Thank you for sharing, I love that you can appreciate the beautiful things around you. You'll have to sneak some smoochin' from Kevin at the old post then you'll have even more reason to love it.:)
Ditto about all the beautifull pictures...gorgeous! So funny story...I checked my email one day and it said, "Notification! Your favorite author has written you a love note..." ;D. Just kidding. But I'm pretty sure when I realized it wasn't a prank I wasn't breathing for a full 63.55 seconds. It was ridiculous. Then of course I had to tell the world (which was my family and friends who now also have a passionate love for your wonderful books)...so, I basically was the envy of the day. Thank you Marcia Lynn McClure for blessing my life with your wonderful stories and making me the talk of a bunch of silly girls for a whole evening. You basically made my day/week/year...I can't lie. ;D So uh...feel free to comment me again, I won't fight it, promise! hehe. Have a great one!
