The rhythm of my day has changed with the nicer weather.
It starts at around noon, when I head out for a walk, which seems perfect for this week's
Sunday Stills challenge.
No more than four photos to visually describe your day. And no archives.
So, it is Friday and my walk begins. I pass by this Ukrainian Roman Catholic Church to get downtown. My favourite pub is across the street. It is my favourite mainly because it has a big wraparound patio, with a view over a quiet side street of this church.
And conveniently located next door to this pub is my fitness club
where I will end my workout by treating my aching muscles to a steam bath
before heading on to the coffee shop for a bite to eat, a coffee and an hour or so of my new book.
And what is a day without a sighting of the ducks?
So I continue my walk down to the waterfront where I find several newly arrived long tailed ducks are being buffeted by the waves.
Repeat as often as necessary for optimal well being.
Lovely but would you believe we have snow forcast for this week!
ReplyDeleteKen: it has turned cold enough for snow here, too. March is a cruel month!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your day. I most towns in the U.S. pubs wouldn't be allowed next to churches. :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I love how you caught a day moon up there.
ReplyDeletelooks like a lovely mellow Sunday to me..
ReplyDeleteI am reading that same book!! Small world! Great photos and I like the sounds of your day!

ReplyDeleteJazz: a friend and I have decided to go halves on the hardcover of the third book that is due out next month because we can't wait another year for the paperback.
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to enjoy life. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice relaxing day; love the moon and church steeple.
ReplyDeleteNora: I am fortunate to have enough free time to enjoy my daytime hours.
ReplyDeleteSHirley: yes, it was relaxing - except for the working out bit!
ReplyDeleteThat church dome and moon seems to be the favourite!
I was so caught up by that book you're reading that I cried with joy when I saw that the second book was available in Paris a year before being published in the U.S.A and ditto that I could pre-order book 3 from the U.K. BUT what do I do now, I've read them all? Oh no. Thanks for sharing you day. It looked lovely.
ReplyDeleteMim: the movie of the first book is coming out next month. but, I so enjoyed the book, I don't really want to see the movie... I think it might not live up to my expectations.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pics. I love ducks!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a really nice day and I'm sure that the steam bath is heaven.
ReplyDeleteLena: the ducks are adorable, espoecially as photo subjects (and especially when they backend up!)
ReplyDeleteGina: that steam is what keeps me going 3x a week...!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty nice day to m.
ReplyDeleteSAW: I am blessed with such nice days.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo of moon and church.. And I see you're reading the Millenium books by Larsson. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLadyfi: I have just finished the second one, now must wait for the third to be published in Canada. Love them.
