Most days, I go for a walk around 5:00 PM. Sometimes I bring a camera with me so I can capture the little surprises I discover. I especially love when I find sweet suggestions that kids rule the neighborhood. Here are some of the things I’ve seen in the past few weeks:

Unfortunately, I had to pass up the amazing opportunity because I didn’t have any money with me. (I guess they didn’t have any lemons?)
A lost and lonely dog perched on a stone wall. I imagine it was just waiting for it’s owner. I like to think they were reunited since it was gone the next day.
