Flowers along the Path
Ever since retirement on July 1, Marolynn and I have been walking a couple of miles every morning. She's in Utah now while Jonathan is visiting his best friend in England for a couple of weeks. Even so, I still walk every morning to buy a newspaper (we stopped delivery because of our uncertain schedule here). I'm not thrilled with walking, but that and a fruit and salad diet are beginning to shed the pounds that I so desparately need to do. So I promised everyone that I would keep on walking.

The city provides walking paths along Tramway Blvd, with tall pedestrian bridges over the highway. The paths are along a swath of "open space" land owned by the city, and they pretty well allow native vegitation to grow there. I call these "foothill flowers" because they are arid desert plants
suited to a bit more moisture than the true desert. They are interesting enough that I postponed my walk today till the sun was up and took my camera along for some pictures.
