Judy from Life Lessons hosts The Numbers Game. I’m a week behind, but I figured better late than not at all. Her number for the Numbers Game Challenge #71 is 192. I didn’t have any luck finding photos matching 192, so I am doing as suggested in showing images of a common word.
To play along, go to your photos file and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos you find that include that number and post a link to your blog in my Numbers Game blog of the day. If instead of numbers, you have changed the identifiers of all your photos into words, pick a word or words to use instead, and show us a variety of photos that contain that word in the title.This prompt will repeat each Monday with a new number. If you want to play along, please put a link to your blog in comments below. Here are my contributions to the album.
My Word I am using is Coleman. I am posting the images in a video format for your enjoyment.

The Boathouse is located in McAdenville, North Carolina. It is the focal epicentre for Catawba Riverkeeper’s outdoor recreation. The Catawba Riverkeeper’s mission is to preserve, protect, and restore local water quality.
Many activities are available to do at or around The Boathouse like …
Playing Outside …
Relaxing … you may relax inside The Boathouse and enjoy the air conditioning while having a soft drink, beer, and/or snack. Or you may sit and relax outdoors around a picnic table.
Jam at the Dam … listen to fantastic live music at one of the Catawba Riverkeeper’s live outdoor events such as once held last weekend while the Goat Island Games were being played. [Coleman and I missed this live music event, but we do listen to their live music shows at Confluence which is run by the Catawba Riverkeeper.]

The First-generation of the Volkswagen Cabriolet was produced from 1979 to 1993. The Cabriolet was manufactured by Karmann in Osnabrück, Germany.
It was a popular convertible which replaced the Beetle Cabriolet. According to Volkswagen Newsroom the Volkswagen Cabriolet became the most successful cabriolet of its time. The 1992 model of the Volkswagen Cabriolet was the final year for the first-generation (Mk-1 based) Cabriolet. The 1992 Model had an optional driver’s airbag which would provided enhanced safety.
Some of the popular features of the 1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet were a multi-layered fabric soft top, a roll bar for safety, and a sporty driving experience. It was known for being an affordable and fun alternative, and its popularity helped to maintain the Mk1 Golf’s presence in the market.

Another week is almost over, you know what that means. It is time for the next Which Way Challenge (CWWC). This week I am combining the Which Way Challenge with Johnbo’s Lens-Artist Challenge #345. John has chosen a theme of “My Go to Places” which ties into my chosen theme of Any Unpaved Road or Pathway.
Go to Places change from time to time especially whenever our dwelling places change or as we progress through the ages. Our interests may change, our surroundings may change, regardless of how or when changes occur we tend to develop new ideas and locations for our “Go to Places.”
Currently, my “Go to Places” depends on Coleman’s interests and selection of the day. Whenever we go hiking we go to one of two Greenways within walking distance from our home. It just so happens that both of these “Go to Places” contain Any Unpaved Roads or Pathways. More often than not Coleman prefers to hike along unpaved nature surface trails or off the beaten pathways out in nature.
Here are our Unpaved Roads and/or Pathways … Coleman leads the way to one of his favourite “Go to Places.”
Be sure to click on the links below to see what others have as their Which Ways.

God Bless. Take a hike/walk in Nature. Commune with the beautiful landscapes, the trees and flowers, and (maybe) natural wildlife. Refresh your soul. Renew your mind. Life is a journey … relax and enjoy it. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
“I LOOKED UP THE WAY I WAS GOING AND BACK THE WAY I COME AND SINCE I WASN’T SATISFIED I STEPPED OFF AND [FOUND] ME A NEW PATH.”
MAYA ANGELOU
Whenever one goes hiking in the woods it is wise to be mindful of your surroundings. Pay close attention to your environment using all of your senses in order to identify potential hazards and navigate safely.
Thus look up to be aware of any changes in the weather; look from side to side observing for wildlife, uneven terrain, and potential hazards like deep drops or slippery rocks. Look downward and backward always being aware of your direction and the surrounding landscape, and use a map and compass if available.
Pay attention to the feel of the ground under your feet and the temperature to make certain you are staying on solid footing and avoiding cold and damp areas.
Coleman and I go hiking/walking practically every week, sometimes several times during a week. Looking up occasionally ensures the weather is still good, no storms or cold temperatures encompassing. We always look around us being on the lookout for any wildlife (lizards, snakes, birds, etc.). Looking down the path to make sure no tree limbs, rocks, or other obstacles are on the trails to ensure our safety. We don’t want any preventable accidents like scrapped knees, arms or injuries to occur if at all possible.
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing views. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”
– Edward Abbey
Beauty is all around us, to see it all one must look up, down, sideways, and all around you or you might miss out on something truly special and beautiful.
“Life Is Meant for Spectacular Adventures. Let Your Feet Wander, Your Eyes Marvel, and Your Soul Ignite.”

We were able to capture a view of this green Gremlin shortly before it pulled out of the Cruz-In parking lot. I never really considered Gremlins antique before or even seen them in car chows before.
AMC Gremlin’s hatchback
The AMC (American Motors Corporation) Gremlins were introduced in 1970 and were manufactured in the United States between 1970-1978. It was manufactured and marketed in a single two-door body style. The Gremlin was classified as an economy car and competed with the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto, as well as imported cars including the Volkswagen Beetle and Toyota Corolla.
Considering that antique automobiles need to be a minimum of twenty-five (25) – forty-five years old, depending on organization, to be determined an antique; the Gremlins would fit the definition to be classified as an antique.

Spring Flowers are springing up up and down the river and riverbanks. Coleman and I took a walk on Friday to Riverside Park and Greenway, I was amazed at all the beautiful flowers sprouting into bloom.
Here are some of the flowers we came across that are starting to blossom. There are signs that indicate other flowers will blossom in the next week or so.
The Green Arrow Arum should begin blooming in the next two-three weeks, about the same timeframe as the Spider Lilies.

Fluffy cotton-like cloudscapes scattered our late afternoon/early evening skies. I’m not sure which type of clouds these are. Hammad, how are you on deciphering cloud formation types? Are they Altocumulus or possibly cirrocumulus stratiformis?
The cloudscape makes an interesting view flowing across the skies above us. What do y’all think?

Coleman’s
Choice of
Pulling Up a Seat
By the River
Coleman loves to play in the sand by the river. He’ll also climb anything he sees worthy of his climbing capabilities. Yesterday, his climbing took him up an American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) tree to Pull Up a Seat.
The ascending progression …
The Sitting Adjustment:
And Back Up a Tree again to perch on a limb …
Where did Coleman disappear? … See his legs dangling up so high like a monkey in a tree?

Host this week for Monochrome Madness is Dawn from The Day After. She has chosen a theme of Everything Spring.
Springtime in the Carolinas entails anything and everything from Spring sports like T-Ball for Coleman, to Kayaking through the Catawba River, to simply rolling in the grass at an outdoor concert, to the beauty of Spring flowers. And who can’t forget about the Spring festivities surrounding the Easter Egg Scramble. Let us not forget what this Holiday Season is all about. It is not about the Easter eggs hunts, even though the children enjoy them, it’s about the Crucifixion of Jesus and his Resurrection. We celebrate that “He is Risen!”.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”
