Volksmarch - Broadway Neighborhood, Sat., Aug. 17

I enjoyed walking in the Broadway neighborhood so much last week, that I had Bob join me on Saturday. However, we did 5K (3.1 miles) instead of 11K (6.8 miles), due to his plantar fasciitis which is still giving him problems.

We started the walk at 7:30 a.m. and finished walking a little after 9 a.m. We walked through the campus of University of the Incarnate Word, then added a little extra by going to the Witte Museum parking lot, then Bob took me down Avenue B to look for the Little Aussie Bakery and Cafe. It wasn't open until 11 a.m. so we couldn't check out their menu.

Here are the few pictures I took while we were out...

If you enlarge the photo of the seed pod below, you will see it has orange bugs with black spots on it. Interesting color.

The walk was just right. After the walk we headed back to the 5er and Bob went to work until almost 6 p.m.

Bob and I love watching the hummingbirds coming to our feeder. Here are a few more photos.










What blog would be a home without photos of the cats?
