Meigs Run, PA
- tributary of the Schuylkill River

A pretty stream flowing through the valley in the woods
I didn’t fish it, and probably won’t, but discovering a new stream always makes me happy

This isn’t quite Footpath Friday material, but I love walking on streets that look like this.

It’s such an interesting sensory experience. The stones are never quite perfectly level with each other, so every step is a just little different than the last one and requires a bit more attention than walking on flat concrete sidewalks.

Blog post: London Loop Section 16. Elstree to Cockfosters. Hills, bluebells, little rivers, bad jokes, quite a long walk.

There’s nothing quite like dawn in the alpine cold, crisp air, the last stars fading, and the sun igniting the summits in gold. These close-ups capture the raw beauty of the peaks at daybreak.

Morning in the Sierra Nevada mountains is magic

“Cyclists who kill pedestrians could be jailed for life under new law in England and Wales.” Let’s hope this also applies to e scooters. Silent and deadly. #RoadSafety #Walking

Heads up to all walking and cycling advocates.

Parramatta City Council has opened up public consultation about its master plan for a major east–west street through its CBD: https://www.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/about-parramatta/news/media-release/share-your-vision-on-the-transformation-of-george-street

George St is particularly important, because it connects with the future Parramatta Metro Station.

It also has Parramatta Park and the famous gate houses at one end, and it also crosses both Church St and Horwood Place.

While cycling doesn't seem to be on the agenda, really this would be an ideal street to run a protected bike lane down. That would provide an east–west cycling corridor through the middle of the Parra CBD.

From the council:

"Plans to refresh Parramatta’s iconic George Street in the CBD as part of a streetscape master plan to improve the landscape and revitalise the historic neighbourhood are open for community feedback.

"The project focuses on the stretch from O’Connell Street on the west, through the future Civic Link at Horwood Place to Harris Street on the east.

"Design features include the installation of street furniture, CCTV cameras and fibre, tree planting, new granite pavers and the potential for outdoor dining and the community is invited to have their say before a draft master plan is developed."

Though it was going to be a sunny walk when I started, but it clouded over. Lambs have finally started appearing on the hills. Also, skylarks and blackthorn.

No matter how busy I am, I will go fly fishing this weekend. I am determined

Our spring mountain camping season opened this week, and the views did not disappoint! This breathtaking sunset was just the beginning—can’t wait for the next adventure.

I’ve got a ton of work lined up for this week and next, likely stretching into the weekend. It’s a lot. Doing my best not to freak out
Wiggling my favorite fly rods calms me down a bit

Really hoping that I can do some fly fishing this weekend

Walking the South West Coast path with my dad and, later, my dog was one of the best things I’ve ever done.

“The adventure spanned 14 years, starting in Minehead when I was a teenager and finishing in Poole as I was about to become a parent.”

Slightly different walk this evening than usual forest or loch side walk with unfit giant senior dog. He was more enthused than usual, jumping drainage ditches (which his joints will let him know later was a stupid thing to do). Could’ve gone many more miles but the clouds are rolling in… #highlands #dogsofmastodon #dog #walking #greatpyrenees #mountaindog

Been out in the wilds for a few days. The soul is restored. The classic "Vereda de Estrella", Sierra Nevada. No words needed

morning walk

Last night's camp in the Howgills.

The more time I spend in the forest, the longer I can handle my workload. I think Monday went well…hoping today does too
