If you zoom on past this post. I wouldn't blame you. I have been so busy. I know all of you are too.
But, just to keep us going. I had to post this. Just for the song if nothing else.
I really like good love songs. I try to choose some good ones that I like and maybe you will too.
But, let me add something else interesting as well first.
Oh no. She turn her back on me. As you can see in the photo above.
Why did you do that girl? lol
So we walked on down the way a little farther. Butt, no more ladies. Ha

Not a lot to see here. Just a quiet place to walk.
Another tortoise burrow.
Staying near the canal.
Time to rest area.
We can do that. Now is a good time. For this post.
I will keep in mind what I wrote at the beginning of the post.
This is for you and I will listen too.

Thank you for helping me to get back to what I like to do.
Add to Steemit and for you. We are slowly moving in that direction.
Francis
Nice captures , keep posting such walking blog
Thanks , have a nice day
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
Francis
Beautiful captures , keep posting
Enjoy day
Thank you
I want Steemit and all of us to do well today and in the future.
Francis
Great Pics.You are such a kind hearted person i never seen such a people for a while
That is who and what I want to be.
But I know that you are the one who is "kind-hearted" for saying such a thing about another person.
Words have power and they have meaning. You have accomplished both in one sentence.
If you can continue to put forth your thoughts and your ability of knowing.
You are going to do very well on Steemit.
Thank you
Francis
Love the music this morning, Francis. We all have been a little busy lately but we do what we must do. I love the walks, Francis. Keep on posting...
The walks will soon end if my friend go to Las Vegas. I will travel out there again to see what has changed.
It has been many years.
He said that he would like to buy a place out there. Maybe I would too.
But, that would only be after many days/weeks of looking and deciding.
Florida is nice.
My other place now is in Ohio. That state is beginning to be like Illinois. A high tax state and problems that aren't going away anytime soon.
When I was a youngster. Private enterprise was the place to be for a good living and retirement.
Now it is the government. The problem with that is this.
All government does is consume. Nothing is produced. The unproductive eating the productive.
That can only last so long.
Trump said he was going to "drain the swamp."
The most likely outcome of that battle is the "swamp will drain the Trump." lol
So we need cryptos and soon. The major problem with cryptos is this.
It is just too d**m tough for the common person to understand and use.
And that is me. Not just the other guy.
But the cryptos will continue to cripple along for us until the time of easy use
for everyone. That day cannot come quickly enough. The sooner, the better goes the saying.
Thank you
Francis
I would have to agree, Francis. Times are changing, but will they be for the better?
Time will answer that question. Governments will do everything they can to stay in power.
And confiscation will be the final act. Whatever is not nailed down will be grabbed and looted.
We are not there yet. We have a little time left. Who knows how much though.
Think about it. When the cryptos becomes the medium of exchange. It would be wise to have some cryptos. Steemit will do fine. That is why to a degree I hammer night and day here on Steemit. At least it could be something. And the price is right. Ha
Plus, I have some other cryptos if I can hang on to them. That is why I complain so much. It is so tough to obtain and safely keep the cryptos at this point in time.
It is always learning, learning. I get so sick of it. Why not get somthing good going and let the be the leader.
Maybe, just maybe LTC is some of the answer. They have their own simple wallet and a passphrase can easily be used.
With Steemit. We have a good level of security.
So, will the governments continue to fund the wants and needs of the people?
It is beginning to look unlikely for later generations for sure.
Thank you
Francis
Sunday visit.
Here.
Thank you
Francis
It's nice to see you walk. Thanks for the good music. We really got all too busy. Something's happening to us. But I'm always glad to see you, Francis . I hope there will be better times. Thank You!
Thank you for remembering that I do post when I can. It is tough to guess when someone is going to post.
But, when we care. We take the time to look and see.
Thank you
Francis
Up-Voted.Wow...With beauty lady's walking you start awesomely this post and amazing finish with your favorite song. It's really interesting to hear @francisk. Canal really blue color and showing very sunny condition.
Love songs give you motivation and positive energy. You selected a beautiful place for walking what else man can find walking near canal with beautiful palm trees and natural life. Thanks for sharing. @francisk
That is something that I like about Florida in the winter time.
Freedom of movement.
Countless pain and sorrow can be inflicted on those that brave the winter's nasty surprises in the North.
Thank you for helping me to continue.
Francis
Excellent #walkwithme post sharing @francisk. You every time enjoying with walk. Lovely photo shots introduced. Sky & lake totally blue and hot weather condition there.
Oh my I have seen no end of tortoises in my life but I never knew that they burrow! How did you figure it out ☺️
I have seen them digging before and when they feel threatened. They crawl to their burrows.
Do you live in snow and ice. Or a warm climate?
Francis
I used to live in Cape Town (South Africa) and see tortoises on the mountains and sometimes they used to come down from mountains into our garden! We lived in a valley. The weather is really neither hot nor cold there, it seldom gets hotter than 35-degree celsius (I am not sure what that is in Fahrenheit). It just makes them more cute now that I know that they dig (what hard working little guys ;) )
You no longer live in Cape Town now?
What country or region do you live in now if you care to reveal?
Thank you
Francis
I live in Malta :) It's a tiny island near Italy in the Mediterranean.
Thank you my child.
I can call you that because I am so much older than you. lol
Thank you for trusting me enough.
I have read and heard some bad reports about Cape Town and surrounding areas. How true the reports are I am not sure.
It could be just news organizations trying to get attention by accenting the negative.
Whatever. I hope you are doing well in your new location and home.
Francis
Thank you :) I always love walking with you in this virtual space.
Cape Town is probably the most beautiful cities in the world (natural beauty). We never experienced any violent crime ourselves as we lived in a good neighborhood and we also knew where not to go. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of truth in the media reports about crime which does impact your quality of life (I used to be scared in our home, in case someone tries to break in) which is something that does not even cross my mind on this tiny island where we live now. Malta is not as beautiful as Cape Town but I suppose it is hard to find the perfect place in the world. We like that we pay our taxes here and they are not all going to few corrupt politicians.
Looking forward to seeing more walks from you.
Your biggest fan
Lucy xx
even you are busy but don't forget steemians that's so great of you :) amazing post once again nice little walk :D
Only love songs can make your day wonderful the song it gives your shots another option to imagine it from the other side
Thank you for your comments.
Love songs power me on to have hope.
Francis
@francisk, Rest area seriously better to relax still your walk. Lot of tortoise burrows you showing us. It mean more tortoises there. Ha ha...You catch beauty lady from backward. You fail to taken front action of her. :D :D :D. Massive canal area indeed. Have you fishing there? Classy song attractive.
Oh, the lady?
It is hard to be camera shy when you are walking away. Ha ha
Thank you
Francis
Are you walking everyday? Everyday it's a different photography in different places :O Amazing!@francisk,
Cheers~
Wow amazing photography and nice view.awesome musics.@francisk
For your post propagation.

Taking a walk in the nature..Very nice pictures.
I love that song “I would give everything I own...”
A wonderful walk and great photos! The canal and its banks with palm trees look great and I understand you, when you have chosen these places for walking, there is something to see and what to remember! By the way a great clip! Thank you @francisk
It's amazing how such calm lyrical songs can soothe and tune into a good kind mood. Thank you for the wonderful photos and great song.
You have such a way with words. I wonder how you wife feels about your posts. Heh.
Wondering what's going to happen to your walks when the wife flies the coop. :)
I will need to set some understanding of all this in order for you or anyone to know what I am trying to say.
First problem that my wife and I both have is age. And for her. That is a bigger problem than for me.
How do I know? It is easy to answer that. We are from a bygone era. And the progression of our understanding of this new era has been tough for both of us. Especially for her.
In her day and time.
She did very well. Life was so much simpler then. No cell phones, simple contract agreements, no insurance or very little if any. Very few papers. No computers. No no no. Ha ha
So, today. While I have advanced a little into our brave new world. She wants to revive and relive the bygone days that will never return. And I have problems as well. But, I spend hour after hour trying to understand and do what I want and need to do. She refuses. Only at a bare minimum.
So, her reliance on me and others is huge. Her best accomplishment is to complain. Ha
And I understand. It can be so hard to get past online obstacles and other newly promoted apps etc.
The madness of the day.......................
But we continue on. It is much to important to not do so.
Will the wife "flew the coop?" Anything is possible I will say.
But the odds doesn't favor it. Ha ha. To go where, to do what??? lol
If you are leaning heavily on someone. It is not wise to say that you don't need them. Ha ha
One thing though. She is a good girl. Or if you think she qualifies age wise. A good woman. lol
Thank you
Francis
I wasn't trying to disparage you or her. I apologize if it came across as such. I like your witty banter and was just commenting on that. As far as flying the coop, I was referring to her upcoming trip for a few months. I'm curious to see how that impacts your walks. Will you take longer walks? Shorter walks? More pictures if there isn't someone urging you onward?
I'm sorry that is has been hard for her to transition to the newer way of doing things. Yes, the world seems a lot more complex. Even in the last 10 years the world has gotten much more complicated. It's nice to find peace in the simple things, like taking a walk by a canal.
I wish you both the best and hope that your able to do exceedingly well by continuing to rely on each other and help each other. I can tell that you love her, so she's fortunate to have you. Thanks for letting us tag along on your walks. :)
All pic is amazing francis

That awkward moment when you insult someone in a status without using their name and they're so clueless they like it.

Another beautiful writing

All the photos are excellent. Great job @francisk. Have a nice day.
It is indeed beautiful and calm when you are in nature and everything is unpredictable and its like you are in the mystical land where you don't know what you might find on the next step. And that was a beautiful song.
