I don't like to exercise.  Sure, I always feel better after I've moved around, but getting the motivation to actually "exercise" is a struggle.  I really don't mind walking so much...the fresh air does me a world of good, the Dog is ecstatic to be going somewhere, and I have to wear a swimsuit in two weeks (ugh).

So I decided a great motivator (besides the swimsuit situation) would be to bring along my new camera while I go walking, and challenge myself to take an interesting photo before I can head back.

I just decided that this morning, actually, so here is the result from my first day. 

"Don't be chickens, follow me!"

 

The Dog spotted the ducks before I did.  It was a challenge to keep the camera steady while hanging on to a tugging and salivating Dog's leash.  She would have been delighted to flush the birds out of there.  That's a Lab's job, after all.
