A walk in the sunshine

 I took a walk around the neighborhood with George this afternoon while taking a short break from work. The sun is finally out and it's been a pretty day. I snapped a few pictures to show you how blue the sky was and how pleasant our little walking loop can be, even in the winter.







It's nice to see the sun again!

One of my favorite things about winter (in the south) is the sunny days with no humidity and bright blue skies. Before you know it, it will be the hot, humid summer again! The pictures are great!

I miss the sun

Deedles said...

Very pretty, and I'm talking about George. The weather's nice, too.

Janie Junebug said...

We had sun today, too. I sat on the deck to read for a while. Not up to going for walks yet. George always looks handsome. I tell my non-blogging friends about Marco. They think he's hilarious.

Love,
Janie

And it is nice to see that there are so many trees in your neighbourhood Jennifer.

Very nice. George seems to be having a good time. It's been overcast up here.

Bob said...

George is gorgeous, and it was a nice day in SC today!

Carruthers said...

I don't know about seeing the sun... It's nice to be reminded what the ground looks like! (It's covered in snow here).

Bonnie said...

You live in a wonderful neighborhood! I miss all the pine trees of the south. We have them here but not like we did in the south. The sunny day and blue skies are so nice to see and of course George is looking quite handsome!

That's one of the great things about working from home, isn't it! Most days, I have too many meetings scheduled for going out in between, but whenever possible, I take advantage of daylight and - even better! - sunshine for a walk.
Your neighbourhood is beautiful with leafy paths and many trees. No wonder the deer you often see in the evenings like it there!
Good for both yourself and George :-)

It does look like a glorious day. And George would make any day look even better.

Tom Stephenson said...

You still have a lot of green leaves on the trees.

Ms. Moon said...

Same here with the sun!
Yesterday.
Today it is raining and gray again.
Sigh.

Jennifer said...

We have loads of trees, mostly large pine and oak, with some swamp bay around the edges and, in lots of yards, dogwood and crepe myrtle!

Jennifer said...

We've seen two deer--a large one and a much smaller one--a couple of times just recently!

Jennifer said...

That's mostly pine, some oaks, and holly trees along with some small cedar hedges and camellias, both of which are evergreen. But yes, plenty of green even in January!

Jennifer said...

It's gray again here, too, and looks like it's going to start raining again any minute.

Jennifer said...

He loves to walk. He'd spend half the day walking if we were willing!

Jennifer said...

Our neighborhood is small and very modest, but it fits us to a "t". Our realtor did a good job helping us find it!

Jennifer said...

Looks like the clouds and rain are back today, though!

Jennifer said...

I'd love to see some snow!

Jennifer said...

Everyone loves Marco! They don't understand what it's like to live with the little devil, though! :)

Jennifer said...

He is a handsome boy!

Jennifer said...

I meant to tell you that your Christmas card arrived this week! Thank you!

Jennifer said...

George loves walks more than almost anything else (besides cheese toast).

Jennifer said...

There's nothing like a good walk in the sunshine to boost morale! I'm glad you have good weather to enjoy, too.

Jennifer said...

I wish you had better weather for getting outdoors in the winter! Although I wish for snow sometimes, I think I would hate being shut inside most of the winter like northern folk.

Jennifer said...

He's a good looking boy!

Jennifer said...

You have snow to enjoy, though!

Jennifer said...

Ugh, yes, the hot humid summer. It's coming! The humidity is the only thing I hate about summertime though. I'm looking forward to longer days and sitting on the porch again!

Ellen D. said...

Lovely blue skies and a quiet neighborhood to enjoy in the sun! A lucky day for you and George!

Debby said...

It has been everlastingly gray here. Day after day of gray. Blaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

It looks like spring is right around the corner.

Steve Reed said...

Nice to see some shots of your beautiful neighborhood!

Ur-spo said...

dog walks and sunshine ! Lovely !

Janie Junebug said...

We can admire him from afar.

nick said...

That looks like a great walk. Lots of trees, as YP mentioned. Is that bungalow yours?

Jennifer said...

No, the bungalow belongs to a neighbor. I just included it because I love the Spanish moss hanging from the branches of the tree in front of it!

Jennifer said...

A little bit of sun again today, but COLD. High temps were only in the upper 40's and there's been a sharp wind blowing all day. Tonight is supposed to be below freezing. Brrrr!!!

Jennifer said...

Thank you! It will be prettier in the spring. :)

Jennifer said...

It feels like the dead of winter today! There's a sharp stiff breeze blowing and it will chill you to the bone. Or, at least, it chills my southern bones!

Jennifer said...

90% of the time it's been that way here, too.

Jennifer said...

I'm glad we took advantage of the sunshine while we had a chance. It's gotten gray and cold again!
