A quiet kind of day

We’re way up with the clouds

Today we pretty much put on the brakes and stopped.

We both slept in and then took things slow and easy.

We didn’t go anywhere or see anybody. We didn’t even get in the car.

Our only excursion was a walk on the forest path that’s minutes from our apartment.

It was exactly the kind of day I needed.

Left at the top of the driveway to reach a path into the forest (notice the funicular tracks behind the trees; more on that in a future post)
A sweet chapel to St Joseph at the beginning of the path
Wildflowers
Heading back from our walk, with Ramesha up ahead and the rooftop of our apartment building below the path to the right
Almost “home”, with Monte San Salvatore straight ahead
The entrance to the apartment complex parking area
My attempt to capture the beautiful night sky with crescent moon and bright stars

Wildflower therapy

After a week filled with a whole series of brain-drain projects, I was really glad to be distracted by a variety of wildflowers during my daily walk. Some were too magically tiny for my phone camera to capture, but I particularly enjoyed these three.
