Definitely A Journey - Sunday Favorites

took a journey a while back and on
the same day I posted a little bit of my own trip to town. She visited my post
and noticed that, ironically enough, we both took a journey the same day and she
commented that we must have been on the same wavelength. Mine was only one
little bit of where I was going and we thought maybe I should take a 'whole'
journey like she did.
I really liked what she implied when she did this. Are
we just going to a destination? Or are we going to take a journey and notice
things along the way, take time to stop and smell the roses, slow down and enjoy
some of life headed down the road.
I decided to take my journey when taking
my little 'garden helpers' home. I know it's going to look a little like a
wildlife tour but actually anytime I pull out of my driveway it's like that
around here because it's just where we live. You won't see a lot of flowers
blooming on this journey because it's still a little early but you will see some
wildlife, cute carvings, signs and garden art (our area style). So here we
go.
Immediately leaving my driveway

Aren't these little guys (sheep) adorable? They are my neighbors down the hill - easy
to get along with, no loud parties, just alot of grass eating.
And these are their neighbors - equally as easy to get along with.
This swamp will have what I believe are wild yellow irises blooming before long.
All the the grassy things you can see in the picture are them coming up I think.
If that’s the case you can see there will be hundreds (thousands?) of
them.
A mini mart down the road - believe it or not we can even order pizza out here
in the boonies now. And anything else we want them to deliver.
I guess this guy guards the mini mart.
A pond next to the road where my littlest guy kept saying he saw ducks but we saw
nothing.
Until we pulled a little farther forward there were his 'ducks' geese.
To the left is a river with a railroad tressel going over.

In the fall this is the prettiest stretch of road with all of the trees in fall
colors. Loads of ferns growing on the bank to the right.

And ahead a ways off to the right is a waterfall that looks like it’s coming right
on to the road.

Here’s a better shot of it.

Headed up the road on the last leg of the journey we seeAnother carving – this time of Bigfoot hitchhiking.

Mt. St. Helens Visitor Center

Some yard art – not sure what kind of equipment it is.

Smokey The Bear

We made it to the lake so we're almost there

Worms anyone?

Then ya can rent a boat and go fishing.

This Blue Heron is usually hanging out right here.

Just before we get to where we are going is a campground and the animals seem to like
it because we saw quite a few inside the fence.

Spotted a little duck . . .

Then another duck . . .

Then realized they were a happy little couple on their way to take a dip.

First he goes under . . .

Then she goes under . . .

All together now.

That was exhausting guess we’ll rest for a few.

Some saws on a fence yard art

Daffodils blooming along side the road.

My journey was much more enjoyable when I took the time to notice the beauty along
the way.

Now head on over to Chari's place by clicking on Happy To Design and see what great
old posts everyone will pick this week.
