If you’re not sure what the “Papa’s Walk” Challenge is all about – see my previous blog post.

Today was the first day of the year-long challenge and I set out about 8:30 AM.  I walked two miles through my residential, suburban neighborhood that is mostly flat (easy peasy). The almost-summer sun was already very bright and warm  – so I stuck to shadowed areas to keep from melting.

A bird chorus provided the soundtrack for my walk.

Every garden was in bloom.  I saw roses, agapanthus, bougainvillea, and was surprised to see so many cacti flowering.  I had to carefully step through plums that littered the sidewalks (a plentiful harvest for fruitarians).

Near the end of my walk, I found a huge Raven feather that could be used to make a quill pen. A little gift from Mother Nature on this happy Father’s Day! 🙂

How about you?  Did you go for a walk?  What did you see?
