God Bless. Have a wonderful week and weekend. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
One Day while hiking along a trail Coleman and I came across a section with textured wood that had seen better days.
One Day while hiking in Anne Springs Close Greenway we spotted a mysterious hole within a rotting tree stump that drew our attention.
One Day we decided to take a break in the shade to catch our breath before contour hike. (Coleman was just under 2 at the time.) we found some interesting shadows and a Dragonfly.
One Day during a hike to Coleman’s favourite sandpit in Riverside Park and Greenway we noticed some interesting texture of Hypnum cupressiforme, (the cypress-leaved plaitmoss or hypnum moss).
Textured hypnum moss growing on a tree Coleman enjoys climbing.
One Day at Riverside Park and Greenway I was trying to locate the log I usually sat on while Coleman played in the sand. It took some looking around before we spotted it. Someone had decomposed our log by using it as a fire log. (No fires are to be built in the park especially during the summer fire season.)

God Bless. Have a fantastic week. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
On Thanksgiving, my grandson, (Coleman) and I were joined by his mom for a lovely chilly afternoon. After devouring a delicious Turkey dinner (except for Coleman-He doesn’t like meat), my daughter (Trisha) drove us to a quaint park on the edge of Lake Norman called Ramsey Creek Park. At first, Coleman and I were not sure if his mom was going to join us hiking around the park.
Coleman and I started out walking by ourselves walking along the waters edges absorbing all the beautiful scenery. After a while, his mom joined us whilst he was picking up small seashells from the sandy seashore.
We noticed several Benches throughout our time walking around; from park benches to picnic tables and benches, they were scattered all around the park for visitors to relax and enjoy.
Here are some of the views and Benches we encountered …

God Bless. Hope y’all having wonderfully pleasant Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
Welcome back to the Which Way Challenge. I trust y’all had a lovely Thanksgiving week so far. I know we certainly did. Now we didn’t spend the day cooking over a hot stove or oven, but we did enjoy a delicious turkey dinner courtesy of Bob Evans Restaurant. Let me tell you they were doing a pretty good business on this (yesterday’s) Thanksgiving. I’ll tell y’all more about Bob Evans Restaurant during a future post.
We also didn’t stay home bored to death thinking there was anything to do. We might not have had any family or friends to gather with and enjoy the day together, but we (at least I think) enjoyed a tremendous afternoon together (my daughter, my grandson, and myself) visiting a park we had not been to previously and did a wee bit of hiking.
If you’ve read my posts before, you’ll understand my grandson loves to hike and spend as much time as possible in the outdoors among nature. After devouring our delicious turkey meal (Coleman only ate the vegetables (he doesn’t like meat) at Bob Evans in Huntersville, we (actually my daughter) drove to Ramsey Creek Park which is along Lake Norman in North Carolina.
This being a holiday weekend I decided to make this Friday’s Which Way Challenge theme; Any Which Way (Your Choice). Your Which Ways can be Any Which Way on any Road, Pathways, Walkways, Sidewalks, Stairs, etc. as long as your Which Ways are clearly visible.
Here are my entries for this week … from our Thanksgiving Day Hike …

This week John from Journeys with Johnbo is the host for the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge. He has challenged us to post photos of our being On the Move. He has shown us some of the typical ways that people choose to travel (Aka being On the Move). Some of the typical means of being “On the Move” are traveling by car, by train, by airplane, or by a cruise ship or another type of boat.
However, I am not going to show you any typical form of being “On the Move.” You might ask what are some other ways one can be “On the Move?” Well, some of the other methods are walking, running, skiing, skipping, skating, swimming, or our favourite hiking. Even though hiking is Coleman and my favourite method of getting from point A to point B and sometimes C in one day, that is not the method or means of being “On the Move” I am going to show you today.
What method of being “On the Move” am I going to discuss with y’all? Let me tell you. The method is called Curb Walking. Ever heard of Curb Walking? I hadn’t really heard much about it or how or why it is done.
Curb Walking is a unique type of walking which involves walking with one foot on the Curb and the other foot on the street. Ever tried Curb Walking? If you did; did you enjoy it? Was it Beneficial?
My daughter, Trisha, Curb Walking with Coleman close by (not that he’d be much help if she fell, but he’d try).
The uneven gait of Curb Walking is thought to help the pelvis (of pregnant women) to open and shift, which is predicted to encourage the baby to move lower and into a better position for birth.
Curb Walking around the playground at Goat Island Park and Greenway.
Curb Walking can help create flexibility in the hips and pelvic floor over time. It can also be a part of overall exercise for endurance. However, it is not a guaranteed way to start labor.
How long should you Curb Walking when you first start? It is recommended to begin with 10 minutes. When you are Curb Walking you should listen to your body and take it slow at first. You may gradually increase the duration and frequency (emphasis on gradual). It is suggested to aim for a total of 30 minutes of Curb Walking on the majority of days for overall fitness.
Before beginning Curb Walking (especially while pregnant), it is highly recommended (if not crucial) to consult your doctor or midwife prior to your first time. (My daughter, however, consulted her physician after her first adventure into Curb Walking). Everyone’s personal health and pregnancy situation is different, so it is best to consult with your medical professional ahead of time. ( I do need to mention she consulted her physician the next day & it was favorable for her to Curb Walk.)
If your doctor gives you the go ahead to begin Curb Walking, it is advised to start between 37 and 39 weeks to specifically try and induce labor. (She is so tired of being pregnant and so ready to meet her daughter.)

From beginning near the railroad tracks …
… Who needs school …
Let’s go meandering through Goat Island …
Can you see me? …
Better now? …
How am I doing about blending into my environment?
Shall we continue meandering?
The South Fork River is beautiful and has amazing reflections in the afternoons.
AI sometimes can remix an image pretty well. At other times you might wonder how it came up with its remix interpretation.

This was taken on Tuesday evening at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway as we were preparing to head back home. This was a rare occasion for us. My daughter normally doesn’t care to go walking and I do not see well at night to attempt walking anywhere.
However, my daughter is so ready to be over being pregnant that she decided she needed to try to start walking some on her days off. She is trying Curb Walking to try to speed the process up of Sophia being ready to make her entrance into this world. [I’ll be discussing Curb Walking further in a future post soon.]
Coleman loves to go walking/hiking at any given opportunity. He loved having his mom come along on an evening walk with us.

Previously on October 5th I shared with you Cramerton’s newly installed Story Walk in Goat Island Park and Greenway along with John Steiner (host of CellPic Sunday). The first Storybook was called “School is more than a Building” written by Kelley Donner. At the time I had not realized the Storybooks would be changing periodically. You may click to view the previous post here and view John’s CellPic Sunday post about the Storybook Walk here.
When Coleman and I went walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway last Sunday we discovered the Storybook for the Storybook Walk had been changed to “The Acorn & The Oak” written by Rhonda Accardo.
These first images of the Storybook were taken with my iPhone. The next set of images were taken with my Canon.
If you ever get the opportunity to be near the Charlotte, North Carolina area, Goat Island in Cramerton is just a short drive south of the Airport. I would highly recommend stopping by to visit this lovely Greenway and take a walk along the Storybook Walk on the paved trail.

Terri, host of Sunday Stills has challenged us to show our #Leaf colours. In our area are #Leaves have slowing been displaying their Autumnal colour schemes. Sunday we had a beautiful Sun Shiny day with a high in the low 70’s°, unlike the past couple of days with highs only in the upper 40’s° and freeze warnings.
With a rare warm sunny day Coleman and I meandered down to Goat Island Park and Greenway for a hike along the River Link Greenway to check out the amazingly gorgeous Autumn colours vibrantly painted throughout the trail.
Here are a selection of images from our hike #Leaf Peeping through the Greenway …
Hope y’all enjoy the video clip of our #Leaf Peeping through the Greenway.

I have selected to post Black & White shots of Bridges in memory of Cee’s love of Bridges.
Coleman and I had such a lovely time together walking through the trails in Goat Island Park and Greenway on Sunday …
… I just had to share a little bit of our hike with y’all.
This is the first Bridge you cross when you enter Goat Island. Coleman is waiting for me to catch up …
Continuing on the Bridge, we see some amazing #Shadows ( I know this is not squared).
Here we’ve come to the second Bridge one crosses leading to the Dog Park.
And Finally, here is the third Bridge …
From here it is just a little bit further to the end of the trail where there are benches you can relax and rest up for the hike back to the entrance of Goat Island Park and Greenway where our adventures began.

Equus is a genus of mammals that includes Horses, Donkeys, Asses, and Zebras.
These Jackasses were introduced to us by our former landlord. He brought to a portion of his land adjacent to our rental property to raise with the assistance of his daughters.
A Jackass is an adult male donkey, females are called Jenny. Jacks or Jackasses (male donkeys) are often mated with female horses to produce mules. At one time the more common term for the donkey was Ass.
From the 18th century, donkey gradually replaced ass and jenny replaced she-ass, which is now considered archaic.
