It was beautiful this morning when I set out – a tad cooler than the past few days. I set my sights on the Detroit River and marina area and I fulfilled that goal. The marina was bustling with activity and the seagulls must have expert eyesight, as they were honing in on anyone that was carrying a fast food bag. Maybe they also have a keen sense of smell?
I made that round trip, and halfway through my journey, I paused at the footbridge to take some pictures for a future blog post. My final pit stop was Memorial Park. The pictures featured above are from an earlier foray to that park, and I wanted to share them with you today.
I added about 4 ½ miles to my tally on what turned out to be a gorgeous and very warm holiday weekend.
About Linda Schaub
This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub
