Ed and I went out for a little walk this afternoon. Wandering around is fun here as we are still unfamiliar with our area and never quite know what we will find. Today we found some fun places including homes, little personal touches, beautiful old trees, neighborhood parks, and churches.
I was thrilled with the final surprise as we headed down the
small hill to our little street.
We love sharing!
A lovely home just around the corner from us
Unfamiliar red fruit splashes welcome color before winter.
Beautiful, delicate flowers along the path to the front door of another neighbor.
Families brought young children to this lovely neighborhood park surrounded by their homes.
I am always intrigued by the way words are used in advertising. (Ein Stein=a stone)
Not sure because it is Sunday and everything is closed, but I think it is a restaurant we should try.
Lovely little sitting area as the sun begins to go down today. This is in front of a small church.
This is a perfect old climbing tree in front of the church.
We turned the corner to head down to our apartment and after passing some children who had roller skates on I heard behind me what I thought were those kids skating over some pavers. But that rhythmic sound was not the children skating...it was the clip clop of hooves hitting the pavement, slowly and methodically.
I turned around and there was this beautiful horse and rider having an afternoon walk together like us!
I asked if I could take a picture and she obliged by reining the horse in just enough so I could snap a quick photo of horse and rider. Then I took a few more quick shots as they continued the steady pace down the street with cars pausing to make sure there was enough room to pass without bothering them.
This horse and rider were supreme today on this little road.
They continued on and went right by our apartment and headed down into the hollow just past our place passing a cute older couple out walking their dog.
What a lovely place to be!

Beautiful surroundings! I love the English rider---that was always my favorite way to ride a horse. Don't see that much where we are; everyone rides Western. I'm glad you get to take in such peaceful nature for your walks and down time. The red flowers/fruit on that bush are rose hips. We saw some at the Oregon coast last year and was so curious about what they were. Kind of fun looking, aren't they? Hope you've had a good couple of weeks since then. It is starting to get colder here; we have snow on the ground. Will Detmold get snow?
Thanks for your comment Letha! We had our first snow yesterday. I will post photos later this week. Also, thanks for sharing your knowledge of plants and flowers! :)
