I subscribe to Wordsmith and am sent a new vocabulary word every day. I loved today’s word…obambulate which means to walk about. It’s earliest documented use is from 1614. It is from the Latin ob (to) and ambulare (to walk).
And obambulate I did! Yesterday it was such a gorgeous afternoon with temperatures reaching 77 so I went down on the University of Pittsburgh’s trail for a nice walk. I sure miss having my Sadie with me. It has been a long time since she has been able to go on a walk with me. She was the one who asked me to take her for a walk daily.
The trail is right in back of our Pitt campus. We are so lucky to have this university right at our doorstep.
Everywhere I turned there were photo ops.
Looking up….
And looking down.
These precious days before the long weary winter are so welcomed.
oh! i can almost SMELL the autumn in the air! such beautiful pictures.
