Thursday theme: Steps

I thought about lots of different kinds of steps; we take steps in the right direction (or wrong) every day, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep on a positive path. I thought about actual steps, and so my feet took me around my area, to some places I didn't realize HAD steps.

The first is a park in my town. It borders on a trail. Stacie reminded me of this park, which I rarely visit.



And overlooks the river and beyond

Stepping along the walking bridge:



Going home? I remember lugging along someone, just like this, on a hot summer day, not too long ago, either:
