When I first started doing it, it was quite an ordeal. We started with several 1 mile walks, which took us about 20 minutes. After building up some stamina, now the 50 minute walk in the morning is no big deal. We get to see a lot of things. Sometimes I take my camera, other times I don’t.
Of course, the one morning that I didn’t take my camera I saw a flock of geese warming themselves on the hillside as the sun was coming up and that same morning, I saw a fox run across the street. In truth, the fox crossed so quickly that I wouldn’t have been able to get a shot in anyway. 
This morning’s walk was pretty much uneventful. It’s a bit foggy outside, but not a lot. Add that to a totally over cast day, and you get no pictures, but a nice walk with the dog and a lot of sweat since it is about 55 degrees and 100% humidity! Never fear though, I have plenty of pictures from previous walks!
So, walking 15 miles/week and going to the YMCA to work out 4 times/week is having an interesting effect. This morning I was able to put on a pair of shorts that I haven’t been able to wear for 2 years! Amazing! Also, I’m actually really starting to like the exercise and WANT to do it. That’s NEVER happened before.
It also helps that I have a new attitude. I only have to be successful in this moment and nothing that I’ve done before, even 1 minute ago can be changed and must be forgiven and I have to move on.
