A couple of weeks ago, we spent a few days exploring a nearby town. The following photos are all from that visit. Please remember to click on each one of them to enlarge.
We took a lazy stroll along this shoreline. The view was peaceful and relaxing. (please click to enlarge)
An old train track crosses over the creek. This view is of the bridge and support. (please click to enlarge)
Over on the shady side, trees line the shore, allowing sunlight to filter in. (please click to enlarge)
In the town, these steps cut through a block of shops, creating a scenic alleyway. (please click to enlarge)
Fresh-baked goodies called to me from a coffee shop display. I fought the urge to buy one and filled up with pixels instead of calories. (please click to enlarge)
After wandering through town, we found a pleasant little park, complete with baseball diamond and bleachers. I liked this shadow which fell from the surrounding fence. This photo and the one which folllows are for my baseball-playing bloggie friend Suldog. (please click to enlarge)
The spattered blue bleacher allowed us to pause and relax a bit before continuing our walk back to the car to go home. (please click to enlarge)
Shhh.. nobody tell Frank about this! (please click to enlarge)

Love the photo of the alleyway. LOVE. IT.
I need that sign for my back porch;) Have fun!
Your photos are awesome. I love creeks. I thought the train track with the support beam was really cool. And you have much more will power than I would have had after seeing all those goodies. Have great fun at the cottage.
I'd go to that bakery too!

Enjoy your trip.

Lovely little walk. Have fun on your little get-away.
Love them all but the last is priceless. How funny. Enjoy your trip.
Love the photos Hilary! That is hillarious, the last photo of Frank, ha ha ha. The bleachers photo is great, it reminds me of going to softball games on hot summer nights!
Love the senior crossing...too funny. Have a terrific holiday and i have so many blogs to catch up on myself that it will take a few days to be up to date.
That last picture is priceless!
Love the old railroad bridge and concrete piers. The alleyway steps caught my attention, too.
Always enjoy visiting your blog.
That last one is hilarious!! Love the peaceful feeling that comes with this little tour :-)
I promise not to breathe a word to Frank! (snicker)
Great shots, Hilary!
A very pretty walkway into the townway with the concrete block steps...
The last photo is too funny! enJOY your time at the cottage!
I love the train bridge photo.
I just love these strolls with you. Gorgeous shots.
Have a relaxing time...
ROTFL over that last shot!
Hilary, shame on you...taking advantage of Frank like that...too funny!
Hope you have a great time!
(I know you'll take some great photos!)
I continue to be amazed by and delighted by your ability to find beauty in your surroundings, wherever you are. Love the fence shadows on the grass, and the flower bedecked pergola over the alley way.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
This little town seems so peaceful and inviting. I could get lost there for a couple of days.
Love the "don't tell Frank" piece!
especially love the blue bleacher picture!
I need a sign just like that only it needs to say 'bald grouchy senior crossing'.
Thanks everyone for your very kind comments. We're back from the cottage though we took a few more days there than expected. It was wonderful. I'll have some photos for you semi-soonish!
Your taking us to a little town makes it just as inviting as all your great outdoors visits. I would have never dreamed I would want to walk in an alleyway by little stores and a bakery as I want to walk around your lake!
Thank you so much, Louise. You always have the kindest things to say. Very much appreciated. :)
