A picture is worth 1000 words. No amount of words could describe the unbelievable experiences of walking, listening and hearing, watching and seeing, smiling and being smiled at, talking and exchanging, breathing, observing the sky, finding a new piece of art, learning from a human, catching a reflection, appreciating beautiful architecture, glimpsing a kindness or noticing a pattern.
A picture can't describe all that either. But it's still worth 1000 words. Since February 21st we've have had the coldest day, the snowiest day, the wettest day, the windiest day, the iciest day, a crazy time change.. all kinds of radical nature events. Every morning is an adventure. The Ridgewood Walker's pictures are taken on the morning walk. Only the pictures of that morning's walk are posted.
