Jan of
Walking Berkeley introduced me to
One Mile From Home in which "Julie from the UK" came up with the idea; “Walk a minimum of one mile from home. Record where you’ve been with a drawing, sculpture, photo or painting and then walk back.
I must have spent two hours scrolling through Julie’s blog enjoy her drawings, paintings and writings about her country environment. Excellent!
"Neath" of
Walking Turcot Yards has a link on his blog that led me to
Out of Rails, a photo blog about trains in Portugal which had a link to
Express Train. "Express Train" is a photo blog by Travis Ruse who writes:
“I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I work in midtown Manhattan. 42nd & Lexington Ave., to be exact, right across from Grand Central Station. As the crow flies, that’s just 6 miles. But on the tracks it can be three trains, 11 stops and 45 minutes each way. My blog is what I see every day commuting to and from work.
****
All the above helping me have the courage to show what I saw during my four mile walk around Fort Bragg this morning.
If it caught my eye…, I shot it!

This decal is on the back window of a car parked on Harrison Street. I have walked past it many times but this time I decided to see if my new camera's flash worked. It did!!

Graffiti inside the men's at Safeway. Nothing near as creative as what Gary sees in Brooklyn.

I spotted this in a front yard on Franklin Street. Don't tell the children!

A sign on a vacant building. Food for thought.

This "rounds" out my morning walk! A display in "If the Shoe Fits" on Franklin.
