Photos from our daily walk

Posted on 6 Jun ’11 by Nikki Murray

In increasing efforts to be more fit and get outside as much as possible, Lex and I have incorporated a morning walk into our daily routine. The other morning, I decided to take the camera with me. I really should remember to take it wherever I go so I stop missing opportunities.

Cinci Zoo

Posted on 16 Oct ’10 by Nikki Murray

Everyone got in the car late this morning to head downtown. With the weather finally cooling off, I was anxious to see the autumn colors displaying all over the zoo. Unfortunately, I hadn’t realized it was also trick-or-treat day there. We spent more time dodging carelessly-steered strollers and walking around herds of the crazies instead of actually being able to view animals at the zoo.

Regardless of the crowded insanity, we still managed to have a bit of fun before heading elsewhere.
