And my new banner was made on IPiccy following instructions that Brenda gave on her blog HERE . I did use Picmonkey to put a frame and text on it. Thanks Brenda! Your instructions were GREAT!

Have a wonderful weekend! And NO climbing on fences! haha!

Beautiful walk and gorgeous pictures. I usually walk with a friend in our neighborhoods. I have taken my camera once before and it took us forever LOL! Have a great day Diane.

Such beautiful pictures. Love your new banner too. It's a cool spring day in MI. Chris has 15 yards of mulch sitting in our driveway. Yippee!!

Everything takes longer with a camera in tow. It's why I don't do cooking tutorials. Ha!

Lovely pictures and a beautiful header!

Those are beautiful pictures Diane. There was a "duck pond" where I used to live with a small pond where the area ducks all seemed to settle. I didn't go often, but loved feeding them. Your pictures remind of of that spot.

I like your new header too. Considering how much you love the outddoors, it seems to fit you well. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend my friend!

Oh wow! Your pictures are gorgeous, and I just can't believe how pretty the sky looks. Love the new banner and PicMonkey too. Enjoy your weekend.

Lauren @ My Wonderfully Made said...

Beautiful! I love the detailed markings on that sweet duck -- you really captured him/her well. Your new banner is great -- I haven't tried PicMonkey yet but it's on my 'to do' list.

Beautiful pictures - I especially liked the last one! Ann

It's Just Dottie said...

I fell in March while running! I have been slow getting back to it. Next Friday night you can find me under the stars at our outdoor Cynthia Woods Pavilion watching the ballet Giselle. I so pray it does not rain!

Gorgeous SOC pictures! Thanks for sharing your walk in the park.

I laughed at your riddle. I used to walk for exercise and then -- first I took up bird-watching and then digital photography, neither of which is at all calculated to provide good exercise for my body. But both are good for the soul!!

Della said...

What a beautiful walk in the park! A perfect way to spend an hour :D

It's getting to be so warm that we will have to do our walking in the mornings. It's blazing hot today, and in the 90's!
The pool is a good place to be right now :D
Very warm southern hugs,
Della

Beautiful walk. You did not climb the fence I know.

Freckled Hen said...

Your blue sky looks so lovely, it has been gray here for too many days to count. I can't wait for a pretty day to trek outside!

Becca said...

That's beautiful! Only a few more weeks and I'll have lots of pretty parks to explore in Washington!

Reena said...

Such a lovely area. And good for you doing your new banner. It looks great!
