I stumbled upon this picture on google and once I saw it, I knew that I had to make a post about it on the blog haha. I really like fall and this picture looks like it was taken in the fall by looking at the color of the leaves. Fall is my favorite season, so any picture of it really stands out to me and I think "Wow, I wish I could be there" There is something about this picture, and fall in general that is very warm. I like the colors and how there is that stretch of water right by the one lane road lined with trees. This place looks like it would be a great place to take a long walk.

Results of Rain

This picture stood out to me because it looks like it just rained in this picture. After there is a rain storm I always notice that outside, the area around me looks more colorful. I notice the same thing in this picture. It seems as though the colors are more defined...or more bright. That is one of the reasons why I like rain so much is because of the colors that result from it.

Carlo's Bakery Shop in Hoboken

* I took this picture

Yes, yes, yes...I know I haven't posted on the blog in awhile but yet again I got caught up in life and what not. So now that thats cleared up, lets talk about my trip to the bakery down the road. Just kidding, I don't live down the road from Carlo's Bakery....sadly. Recently me and three other friends traveled to Hoboken in North Jersey to visit this Carlo's Bakery as I have mentioned. Now if you don't know already, this bakery is where they film the show "Cake Boss" on TLC(But between you and me, I don't watch the show too much). I've still seen some episodes of it though. It was an amazing trip and even got some good sweets there...along with a t-shirt. Even though the wait was like...5 hours just to get in the bakery...we still explored a little bit in the town of Hoboken while we weren't waiting in line. We even found a "nifty" park that has a great view of NYC and was a good place to be.

This is a picture I took of the park we went to.

Thats what so cool about traveling...you may be traveling somewhere to go to something specific...but you can always can find things you weren't even looking for.

Meadow

Meadow
How I want to lay in your soft, welcoming grass
I want to bathe in the sunlight you offer to me
I want to see light, shining threw the tall trees
I want to admire your flowers, addiding color and contrast to you
I want to lye down and look up at the sky, filled with endless
I want to touch the warm grass as the sun shines upon it
I want to sit and think happy thoughts

To some people you might just be a piece of nature, or boring
But to me, meadow, you are something more to me
I admire your color, your soft features, your warmness,
And your separation from the world

To me, meadow, you are a symbol of peace
I don't have to worry when I lay down on you
I am at peace when I am secluded from the world
You bring me peace, meadow

Covered in snow

Latley where I live, we have been getting a lot of snow! Much more than we usually do. So, why not do a blog post on snow. Since it's stopped for a little while, the streets have been plowed and now the snow is brown and gross. I like snow when it is untouched and white. I like that feeling of waking up in the mourning and looking outside to see everything covered in white. I liked seeing the trees covered in white(like the picture). I'm really thankful these days to have snow because some years we get a ton of it and others we get hardly any snow at all. Snow is a very nice touch to the winter season because without it, winter would just be cold and boring. Comment below and tell me if you like or dislike snow and why?

The Brooklyn Bridge

*This picture was taken by me

Hello everyone! Sorry, I know it's been about a month since my last post. It has been a very busy January. So this post is my last post(for now) about Brookyln. So, as you can tell it is about the Brookyln Bridge. This was the last thing I did in Brooklyn because we crossed the bridge to get to Manhatten. Walking over the Brooklyn bridge is a great experience for numerous reasons.
1.)So, to get onto the bridge you need to get onto a walkway, which gets you on the bridge. This walkway is located in downtown Brooklyn. I really liked downtown Brooklyn when I was there. There was a park there for kids to hang out after school. I saw alot of kids walking home from school in Brooklyn that day, so it was nice to know they had a park to go to in the city. Now, there are signs that lead you up to the walkway for the bridge. Once I got on the walkway it was pretty straight forward from there and in no time I was on the bridge.
2.) If you have walked across a bridge then you know that you usually walk along the side of the bridge. This is not the case for the Brooklyn bridge. When you walk across the Brooklyn bridge you walk in the middle of the bridge. You are also overtop of the cars. So the walkway I was on before leads into the walkway across the bridge, just more elevated. The walkway on the bridge also has benches to sit on.
3.) The Brooklyn Bridge is very scenic. When you walk across you can see many famous New York City attractions for tourists. I saw the statue of liberty, the empire state building...that's all I can think of lol. So maybe you dont see a TON of attractions, but you do see at least 2 major ones. Also when I was walking over the bridge, the sun was almost setting and the sky looked kind of blue and orange.
4.) Then finally when you get off of the Brooklyn bridge, you are greeted by a nice and very small park in Manhatten.
The Brooklyn bridge is such a nice walking bridge, mostly because it really looks nice for the people who do walk on it. When I say nice I mean that there is not much graffiti as seen on most bridges. It seems as thought the Brooklyn bridge is more of a walking tourist attraction instead of driving over the bridge. It is a pretty long bridge, but it's not extremely long, just long enough so that really anyone can walk on it. You can walk both ways to so if you need to go back to where you came from you can. So when your in New York City I would defiantly suggest to go walk across the Brooklyn bridge if you need a good walk, and are in the area.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Yes, I know Im a day late haha. Yesterday was very hectic for me and I couldn't get to posting. I went to the mummers parade yesterday in Philadelphia. I walked along Broad street watching all the mummers preform in thier crazy costumes. If you dont know what the mummers parade is all about, let me tell you. It is held on new years day every year in Philadelphia. People in the parade are called mummers and they are just ordianry people dressed up in crazy costumes and usually they preform skits with songs. They go all the way up broad street from south philly to City Hall to preform in front of the judges. I use the mummers Parade as a way to complete a goal of mine. The goal is to walk from City Hall, all the way down Broad street, to the Phillies Baseball Stadium. Yesterday I got pretty far, farther than I did last year. I only had about 14 or 15 more blocks to go. So, back to the topic of New Years. This new years im making some traveling goals for myself. I want to visit another state in the U.S, and I want to visit another country. What are your traveling goals(or regular goals) for the new years?
