What do you usually do on a typical Saturday? Do you sleep in until noon? Eat a hearty breakfast and lunch?

Well... for me, a typical Saturday is sleeping until 10:00am, eat the most delicious breakfast/lunch and a walk around the neighborhood and local park.

Before I go on my walk around the neighborhood, I have to make sure that our dog Axcel has to be put on a leash because he might run off on me and that is not good. The next thing that must be done is putting on my most comfortable shoes and then I am ready to go. We usually walk for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

As soon as we start walking, I keep asking myself, "How many
calories will I burn today and how many pounds will I lose?" I got a hold of
Axcel by his leash and I ended up speed-walking instead of taking a casual
walk. Along the way, there was a lot of flowers around us; to the front, to the
back, to the left and to the right. BM then said that she is going to take
pictures of the beautiful bed of flowers. The amazing photographs that BM took are shown below. We then walked around the green-belt and there was green everywhere; green grass, green trees, just GREEN, GREEN and more GREEN!! 

30 minutes had past and we decided that we were going to walk back home. There are a couple of times when we had to walk uphill and I got to tell you that walking that hill is tiring. Something then caught our eye and it was a little Japanese zen garden that was in front of a home and BM decided to take a picture of it. The only thing missing was that there was no water for the zen garden, it was just all mud and dirt. 

A little side note, walking is such a wonderful thing to do especially during sunrise or sunset. Please take the time and walk around your neighborhood, you will know how much things you will see along the way!!



These photographs was taken by the famous BM. Did you know that BM is such an amazing photographer? She
really has the professional photography skills and I truly admire her for that.

Hi, LC and Axcel: you guys had a good time walking.  I just followed you and took photos on the road,  and looking for my lucky Glover.  Take a stroll on Saturday afternoon is the most relax excise everyone should enjoy it.
