Rubbing Elbows with Nature.. Walking Oakville's Beautiful Trails

I love my new form of Exercise!!

For many years I was a avid Jazzerciser.. I found as I aged,
the moves were a little to much for my poor old knees and it was time to find a new routine.

My daughter told me about this great ap called "Map My Walk"

I WAS HOOKED!

I love so many things about walking my beautiful walking route.

It takes me through many types of terrain. 

I go past community gardens, through thick brush, past a large open field,

a dog park,  a children's play park and a sweet view of the lake.

The best part of my new love is brushing elbows with nature..

I listen to may favorite tunes.. 

So far I have for sure helped baby robins to fly..

( they run in front of me in a frenzy until they jump jump and fly)

Seen dozens of baby bunnies,

Collected beautiful feathers,

Been caught in a downpour,

Smelled cascading flowers in the morning,

Mother Killdeer doing the fake broken wing trick for me...

 I am no longer trapped in a tight room rubbing elbows with other women jumping up and down.. 

I walk right out my front door, get fresh air,
sunshine on my face, sweet smells in the air, 

BUT THE BEST PART BY FAR

is rubbing elbows with Nature!!!!
