| Early bloomers |
Today there were 22 of us ladies who met on a cold and clear Saturday to walk to Fairhaven and up Taylor Avenue and then down the stairs. Some women decided to go up the avenue and down the stairs, while others (me included) walked up Mill Street, so we could go up the stairs and down the steep street instead. It's easier on my knees, and the day was simply beautiful whichever direction you took. Blue cloudless skies and no wind made us warm up quickly. Starting out was cold, but it didn't last long as we hustled along. We all met up again and started back.

| New building going up in Fairhaven |
I smiled at the whale going through the side of this building. It's being called the Orca Building, so I guess the whale makes sense. It certainly is an eye catcher. No wonder they are listed as endangered if they act like this (smile).

| Almost back to level ground |
Taylor Avenue has an elevation of somewhere around 400-500 feet in a short distance, which is why it's such a great workout. Here you can see some of my women friends walking ahead; we were on our way back to our starting point. It was just simply a perfect way to begin the weekend.
:-)
Love that orca (and you comment about their behaviour has me smiling).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Looks like the perfect day. It's so wonderful that you have these friends with which to walk on these gorgeous Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteWe had the clear skies today, but cold winds.
Look at those gorgeous blue skies. We had snow again today and very grey skies.
ReplyDeleteI like that orca building. Beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteThat blue sky would encourage one to get out and walk, Jan. The Orca building is fun and unique.
ReplyDeleteLots of things make a walk interesting. today the weather even cooperated for you.
ReplyDeleteNot much blue sky here today, but we walked and worked in the yard anyway.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun change of pace.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely spring day! :) Such a pretty view while walking too!
ReplyDeleteHappy spring to you. What a wonderful day for a walk and to enjoy the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't have mentioned him, I'd have missed the Orca. Clever touch.
ReplyDeleteLooks so picturesque! Like a storybook town...
ReplyDeleteI agree--going down steps is harder than going up. Love the orca. Quite a landmark. :) Looks like a beautiful day for a walk with the ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer a downward trajectory! Always. I hope that whale wasn't lodged there after a tsunami. Definitely and upwards trajectory.
ReplyDeletePerfect day. Perfect vista...:)
