The obvious becomes revealed when one looks around. We’ve been walking/hiking 3+ to 8 miles/day, from right out our front door. We’ve been stopping to read signs that we’d quickly passed by in the past, finding hidden sculptures, experiencing garage, front entrance, & garden envy, seeing magnificent views of Mt. Tamalpais, noting gas meters in unusual spots, spotting interesting vehicles (so many that were for camping), rambling through places we never knew existed that are not far from our home, admiring our surroundings, cooking, eating, reading, listening to music, podcasts & the sounds around us, appreciating our home & learning new things. And, of course, taking photographs.
