The unincorporated community that I live in is a rather large area. To walk around in all of it would be a daunting task for sure. I isn't that I mind the walking. But, it is the time factor. So much time is needed. And even though I may have more free time than most people do. Pat and now Katie and Matt, are always trying to set the agenda for me. Ha.
Pat is leaving for a month though. That will give me a little more time.
She is going to the wide open spaces. Ohio farming country.
The above is some Florida open space in my community. A retreat of sorts that I like.
I know that some of you are really maxed out for time. Here is a little pretty for you that I saw as I was walking along.
This is a local church area that many gather in during the week and on Sunday.
It was started by a local dentist whose name was Jarl.
He and his wife were originally from the state of Michigan I think.
It looks to me that their sign or marquee needs some work done on it.
Oh yes. I know the old saying. "twenty percent of the people do eighty percent of the work." Ha
No, I don't go there now. I only to go there to vote at election time.
It is one of the polling areas for the local people.
Here is another ditch that carries water to one of the local lakes/ponds in our area.
It is common in our community for some people to put up a remembrance sign of sorts for other to see. Such as this one. Donations are often associated with it too.
I think that some of you may have seen this before. But if you did not. Lots of trees for shade in the relaxing and walking area.
I am now on the trail and the canal area. So we will see boats and other floating devices as we walk along. One time I saw a large barge going up the canal. It nearly filled the whole canal from one side to the other.
The bicycle riders are riding today as well. It has been very warm here for this time of the year. It is a good time to be on the trail.
This is a view of one of the boats that are common to see on the canal.
This is a very nice boat. All the creature comforts that one would want.
One little problem. Who keeps it looking nice and cleaned up? Not counting the maintenance?
We all like to look at something very pretty and appealing to our eyes to look at. But, then comes the work to keep it that way.
Sure. You can hire someone to do it for you. Good luck with that. Hired help is looking for a paycheck. Not so much the work. Ha
A little smaller and easier to keep up with. If you like to fish and maybe tow some skiers. This could be one that would do?
This is turning into a "boat walk." Let us see if we can see anything else that interesting. Here is a sign of warning.
Some Florida habitat.
This looks like a cedar tree to me. Very unusual for this part of Florida.
A green plant that grows all year long. That is why this part of Florida is so nice.
Green all year long.
The beginning of pine cones. I don't see this very often. At a level that I can easily see it.
If you want to get off the trail and walk through the terrain area. Here is a good mowed area to start from.
Spring is already showing up here in this part of Florida. Very unusual I think.
Maybe I just don't remember though.
That ends our walk and post for you and Steemit today. Maybe I can show some of the shopping amenities and
stores that we have in our local area for the next post. We'll see.
Since this work covered different looks of interest.
I will have to find a video/song that could speak to our lives and thoughts at times.
What shall it be?
We know this doesn't happen. Not very often anyway.
Must of us want assurance. Not something or someone that could be possible.
But, let's have look and listen anyway. Just because we can. There will be others.
Added to Youtube by: Blake Shelton--Published on Mar 29, 2016
Just think. I could have added an "Adele" song. But I didn't.
Maybe at a later time.
Thank you for following along with me on my walks and thoughts.
For you and Steemit is my goal.
Thank you
Francis
You have taken us on some really interesting walks, Francis. I enjoy this daily walks where the sun is shining and everything is green. Love the photos.
Thank you. We should be having a lot of walks over the next few weeks/months.
Unless I burn out or get lazy. I don't think so though.
Thank you
Francis
Awesome photography and blog written in beautiful method .
Keep posting , thanks
Once in a while we get something right. But not all the time. But we do try though.
Thank you for your encouraging words. I appreciate it.
Francis
@francisk,
It looks like a kind of small forest area! A same type of area is at my country! This collection of photography reminds me those scenery!
Cheers~
Thank you for your comparison of different parts of our world.
Francis
Was you speaking to me when you were talking about people that are maxed out on time lol? If you wasn't it's okay but it felt like you was. I absolutely LOVE Blake Shelton!!!! We will be going to see him soon in March, I'm so excited!
We are living in a world of conveniences it is said. But with our time. It seems to be just opposite.
For many here. Nearly all free time is spent with Steemit. It will be worth it later I think.
But for now. It may seem like a hopeless venture or waste of time.
Blake is noted in the replies here. Look at cullyguy and see what he wrote.
Interesting.
I hope you get to enjoy your trip as much as you seem to for now.
And I think you will. He is very popular I know.
Oh, I was with our own celebrity tonight at the Planet Fitness work out gym
The MMA Fighter Matt Moore. Watch for him in the coming months.
Low level at this point. But he is committed.
Thank you
Francis
I will definitely be watching for him. Hubby is a big fan of MMA so hopefully we will be seeing him later in his career!
He was registered with the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Association or something like that.
He will have to get a Florida State registration of some sort. Whatever that is.
He has to find a lot of things right now. He is going to a wresting match at Bradenton tomorrow to find out who the good coaches are and the gyms that some of the better fighters are training at. He likes fighting. You would never guess it just talking with him.
Thank you
Francis
Warming up some here. Getting plenty of rain though. Better than snow and ice.
Beautiful captures , amazing plants , keep posting , have a nice day
Indeed, my friend, who wants to forget his worries and his grief, should go to this beauty
That could be what Blake had in mind when he sang this song.
Francis
very nice post
Got it.
Great
Thank you
Francis
Blake Shelton use to live in the very small community were I grew up. However he moved in after I moved out so we never met. He owned a farm of the beaten path
Land that is off the beaten path as you say can be very satisfying to some of us.
I like that as well. Even though what I have is in plain sight to everyone. Ha
Thank you
Francis
Your walk is gorgeous, especially struck by a coniferous tree. We call it pine. It's green all year round. Thank you for the wonderful walk and good song
You are welcome. I have a great love song for tomorrow if I can get it to fit in with my post.
I am not sure yet though. We'll see.
Thank you
Francis

These walking area very deserve to cycling and running. Beauty flower photo shot attractive. Nice small forest area instead. Thank you for sharing. Up-Voted.
