Saturday Morning Walk and the Texture of Water

Walking out the GateHeading South on Victoria Street, Salt Cay





My morning walk usually turns me North but Saturday morning, I grabbed my camera and headed South to The Creek to collect a few pictures and take a look around.
I chose to take the 2nd left as you head down Victoria Street thinking that the road might be a little easier to walk on without flinging myself to the ground by stepping on a rock.  (Body flinging has always been a "favorite" pastime.) The 2nd left is a giant open area that is often filled with island cows and donkeys, floods and gets slippery when wet and is a great wide place to turn around. 

  Turning left it's just a short walk  to the East side of the island.  Walking past (on the left) Franklin's (aka Spigot) house, Ms Mellie's house, Mr. & Mrs. Dickenson's store, Ed Smith's house, Ms Vida's house, Ms. Rosalie's house, the Lightbournes and the Government house.  This early in the morning there's no one outside on the seats in front of Franklin's where you will usually see a bunch of the guys hanging out during the day.  Eugene, Franklin, Ed, Wilce and Hardy are down by Ed Smith's house this morning.

I've reached the three month mark on the left knee replacement and six months on the right knee replacement... the joy of walking without pain is so incredible.  Totally life changing and wonderful. It's been at least four or five years since I last walked over to the Creek to just snap pictures and relax.  

It was almost high tide, a great time at the Creek.  On Tuesday I'll be heading down here in the morning to kayak a little.  This morning I got carried away looking at the textures of the water.

Beautiful day for a walk... headed home, stopped in for coffee (with Baileys) with my friend Sonia and stopped at the store,  picked up a couple of cans of apple juice from Eloisa (at Mr. & Mrs. Dickenson's Store) and looked forward to checking out the pictures of textures that I took.  Think that I got a few that will translate into fabric design for art quilting pretty nicely!
