Today I took what was intended to be a short nature walk that turned into a full blown adventure, complete with taking a new trail that led me down to a lovely sandly bank by a quietly flowing stream. This trail also took me in the opposite direction of my car when I thought it was taking me back to it. 
Gotta love adventures! I was on an artist date – an excursion that is solely for the purpose of refilling my creative well, finding beautiful things that make me feel alive and that stimulate that artistic side of me, so that I have creativity to pull on later when I need it. Because I was trying to refill and not work I did not take my SLR with me, but I did snap a few pictures on my little whiteberry (I have a blackberry that is white and my friends call it a whiteberry haha!) that I thought I’d share with you! The sky was too pretty not to capture at all!
If you want to read the full detailed account of my adventure you can check it out here. Happy adventuring!
We sat and enjoyed our dirty chai lattes (chai with a shot of espresso in it) and then decided to risk the chance of rain and set out to explore the area. Meandering through shopping areas and then into quaint neighborhood streets until our feet hurt while discussing (with many rabbit trails intermingled) creative community, the houses we liked, and the merits of various designs was the gist of our afternoon. We never did get rained on, the weather was just perfect!
This was one of my favorites from the day.
If you would like to see more, there are more pictures (though there will be a couple of doubles) and a bit more commentary 
If you’ve made it this far and want to see more then
