While at first glance you may have thought “careless” it’s actually car-less. Yes, I’ve decided to trade my $60 per gas tank fill up for the way of the old world. Not really. I’m just in waiting for my “new” car from Dan. This waiting has been good.

The other day I had a meeting scheduled in downtown Franklin and decided I would walk the 3 or 4 miles from my home. I overestimated my pace and underestimated the time it would take. As it ended up it was about 1 1/4 hours.

It was a peculiar morning as I headed out and, as usual, I had my camera in tow. It had rained earlier and the sky was quietly moving on. I didn’t camp out at any one point of interest but as I was walking I did see things that prompted a quick snap-shot.

Honestly, this was a great walk and besides being late to my meeting (sorry Brian) my soul was fed and I’m sure my heart benefited from the exercise.

This is a sampling of what I saw between Fieldstone Farms and Downtown Franklin.

Yes, that’s what the sky looked like. Almost like a painting.

Um, … more sky.

This growing just a few feet from traffic along Hillsboro Road.

A cute little house just behind the rec center.

Is this poison ivy? I never know.

I love the graphic nature of common things.

Location, location, location. 2 blocks from Downtown Franklin.

This is a neat stone wall on the edge of a very old cemetery.

Rose garden at the corner of South Margin and 4th Avenue.

So there you have it. What took me over an hour to walk you just got to enjoy in less than 2 minutes.
