Photo Story Friday...A Walk Through Suburbia

It seems that many of my new bloggy friends live in the North East, or Midwest.  I keep seeing beautiful pictures of the ocean, and forests, and wooded pathways meandering off into the misty distance.  People write about going outside and walking around their neighborhoods, and they share pictures of old farmhouses, grassy meadows, reflective ponds, and wildlife. And it makes me feel, well, like I am missing out on something here in my desert suburbia.  When we go on walks we end up at playgrounds, and when we go outside, we ride scooters in the frontyard, or go for a swing in the backyard.  No old buildings with character.  No grassy meadows filled with wildflowers. At least I thought so...

So today, I thought I would share pictures of our typical walk.

Excuse me if I seem a bit defensive, but perhaps our scenery is not so different after all...

See, we have rocks and trees.

And we have pathways. 

Not much mist.

But pathways, yes.

And we have meadows, with wildflowers.

Well, kinda.

We defnitely have old buildings.

Character, not so much.

And we have reflective po...well, reflective windows

...in CPA office buildings.

I will grant you. 

That one is a bit of a stretch.

But we do have a bakery. 

And we can walk to it.

And that

is about as romantic

and idyllic

as it gets around here.

But we're not complaining.

Who needs romance and misty scenery

when you have cookies?
