Breakfast by the water...

Saturday morning when I got off work I decided to go for walk because it was beautiful out and it looked like it was going to be an amazing day.  I stopped at this little shop and purchased a cup of coffee and a Hawaiian bagel, which was delicious!!!  I took my breakfast to the water front and sat on a bench and watched the sun appear!!!  It was beautiful. 

I spotted this tree and just found myself infatuated with it.  Even bare I just couldn't step away.  I don't know why this tree got me but it did and now I am looking forward to spring to see this tree in bloom.  I wonder if it will still have the same affect on me. 

After enjoying this tree for awhile I walk the waterfront and took some pictures and just listened.  I usually have my ipod on and just in my own little world when I am walking, but yesterday I walked and just listened to all the things around me.  I heard the birds, groups of people talking, people walking, and the sound of the cars driving over the bridges as I walked under them.  It was astounding at all sounds that are around you.  It was really quite an experience yesterday.
