A longer walkabout

Yesterday I was instructed by my physical therapist to "go for longer walks." So today, on a beautiful autumn afternoon, I set off with my camera to take note of whatever there was to see ... First the stump of the pussy willow tree on the eastern edge of the phragmities; the tree died during Irene (2011) and was taken down last winter.

The area will be re-landscaped come November, but at all costs the survey marker at the base of the stump must be preserved.

I admired - yet again - the new drain at the corner of Charles and Ashworth (also the corner of our property). The tide was out so you can see the scope of the excavation.

I stopped to say "Hello" to the Doddle dog who lives in the crosswise house on the other corner of Ashworth and Charles. He didn't tell me his name.

I waved to the leprechaun fire hydrant just round the corner on Langworthy Avenue

and headed down Hopkins Street to Boulder Avenue.  Surprise!  The boulders haven't been tipped over yet - quite a relief because legend has it that if this happens Lord's Point will cease to exist.

Some dinghies are still tied up on Boulder Dock

But the hips are going to seed on the beach rose bushes at the house on the seaward corner of Skipper Street and Hill Avenue.

A short walk along Langworthy Avenue  and back on Charles Street, where I could admire the re-seeded grass in front of our house.

and retire to my nest to ice my ankle!

I'll go in a different direction tomorrow.
