A little bit of a stroll in the neighborhood

Hello, everyone.

One of the ways that Camino has changed us is that we think of "walking distance" as anything that doesn't take more than a half-day. And longer if we're on a pilgrimage, of course, but around home we've been walking places that we might have driven before.

We walked to our local polling place recently. It was a pleasant stroll, around 2 miles round trip, and we saw a little bit of wildlife on the way.

Turtles--which didn't want their picture taken

I was carrying the little Olympus tough camera instead of one with a good zooming feature, so these are a bit small.
