Off Roading

 Good morning, everyone happy May and welcome to  




SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 

and my post for City Daily Photo




Northfield, Minnesota 

Notice the building within this building?




My post is about after you do the things, daily chores, go to work, fix things, manage other things, why not lighten your tomorrow by "off roading" or "unexpected exploring" with your pleasures in mind. 




Weekend off yesterday began by joining a Pond & Park Cleanup that involved more than beautifying the area but meeting humans walking their dogs or out for a brisk early morning walk. Isn't it amazing how many trails are built into neighborhoods. Wish they'd done that when I grew up. Or maybe not that's how we learned to blaze trails and paths where others have not yet gone. 






We do our daily responsibilities, get things done, go to work, pay bills and push out the day until it begins all over again tomorrow. Now with responsibilities complete the hunger for your dreams comes to life.

My off roading yesterday began at 

Welcome to Whitetail Woods Regional Park




Planning future things gives you something to look forward to. But. Unexpected exploring lightens your daily load. 


Follow your path. Be adventurous, there's always something waiting just around the corner.

From there who would ever pass up a Tulip Festival?




Special treat as this is part of the Brand Farms you ride a hayride to the tulips and when you come back for the apple orchard blossoms it's another hayride.

so, spruce up your life!

Below random photos from other off roading adventures.






Ignite your wanderlust and embrace the unknown.
