on my walk the other day with Jinks at Knowle Park

Early-in-the-day moments of happiness today:

a) feeling well prepared for German group this p.m.
b) good T'ai Chi practice this morning - I have bipolar disorder and T'ai Chi is one of my various strategies for keeping well since I personally found out my diagnosis more than 30 years after my first episode of illness.
Fab Hazel - very tranquil shot and no wonder it helps with your T'ai Chi :)

Beautiful down the lane shot - walking in the fresh air also has much effect on our well being Hazel -I'm sure you find this is so ! We all have our own crosses to bear but we have to do the best of what we've got -Keep strong my friend x

Great shot, I love the leading lines but fancy planting a tree there, right in the middle of the path?

@beryl

Thanks for your comment and I so agree with all you say!

@bulldog

Thanks, and yes it does look as if the tree is in the middle of the path - but it isn't! There are other similar views in this park.

@darrenboyj

Thanks Darren - unfortunately I would be too self-conscious to do T'ai Chi in the park! But it's OK in the living room!!! And the walk is tranquil, yes.

Nice image, Hazel. Good that you do the exercises and that they help. Who/what are/is your German group?
May 20th, 2013  
Great capture, it's so beautifully composed. I loved reading your intro. *now following*

Thank you so much Rachel and I'm returning the follow. I have to go to German soon but will catch up with your album later.

Thank you, Ivan. I have a whole chart of do's and don'ts to help me beat bipolar which one sufferer called 'the stalking beast' (I think that's quite apt!) The German group is one I lead within Winchester U3A, roughly A level standard, just a group of ladies who share their expertise.

Beautiful scenic shot. Looks like a lovely place for a walk.

What a great place to walk, must be good for the soul. I think as we get older we get better at developing strategies for coping with what life throws at us!

Lovely shot. Such a beautiful place to walk and also to do Tai chi - I also do Tai chi. Keep well.

Patricia, thank you for your generous comments and the fav. In a way, this was a shot waiting to be taken! We are so lucky to have Knowle Park just 5-10 minutes walk from our house.

A beautiful path and surrounding area to have a nice walk and to clear you mind.

Lovely countryside shot. Like the way you captured the path

@sjouk

Although we all like sun and blue skies, the clouds are more interesting in a photo?!
