Some of you may have wondered where I was this morning. Folks, I was getting in some Eliza time. I went for a 5-mile hike in one of my favorite nearby parks, Princess Place Preserve. The photos above are from several nearby hikes that I do at least once per month.

Right now I don’t trust my old car to go too far so I stay close to home, but I can still get in some nice photography and great walks. I also caught Washington Oaks Gardens just as the gardening crew was out beginning to prune the rose bushes for winter. So, I was lucky to capture a decent photo of a bright orange bud.

Our weather varies as we catch the tail end of the storms that have marched across the country this winter. We’ve had some cold spells and some warmer days, too. Tomorrow is laundry day and rain is forecast… so I’m glad I got in a good long walk today.

Enjoy your week.
