... put a little spring in your step

I've been battling a case of bronchitis for over a week now and it's taking all my energy to kick it.  But, yesterday I had to get out of the house for a bit and I decided to take a walk to the park with my trusty Nikon.  Here are a few photos from my outdoor adventure.

It's March 22 and there are already people sun bathing in the park.

I think this guy is way past needing to put a spring in his step!

... K I S S

Growing up in my basketball playing family the KISS principle was often reinforced by my father.  Keep It Simple Stupid!  The point behind the KISS principle is not to over complicate things and remember your fundamentals.  I had this principle in mind when I got dressed for a lunch outing with my sister on an unseasonably warm March afternoon.

...stay in school

I may not have to go to class everyday but occasionally I get the urge to channel my inner schoolgirl.

Ok, I have a confession --back when I was going to school (we won't mention how long ago that was) I was wearing Wranglers and cowboy boots. Why, you ask? I grew up on a farm in Wyoming. Heels were only for keeping your boots in the stirrup and blue tights--well, let's just say blue jeans were a more practical option. But, now I've lived in the city for ten years and I'd like to think that if I had the knowledge I have now, I would have worn this outfit to school. It may not have been practical but I would have felt great in it.
