Be Brave

Whenever we walk. We are slowing down the movement of our bodies to other areas of interest and construct that our eyes can see.
So, walking gives to us more than just exercise. We get an opportunity to see objects and maybe movement of them that we wouldn't see flying along in a human transport method.
Such as the yacht pictured above. It is a nice boat for sure.
One thing I noticed about the yacht was the absence of words or letters. Maybe it is being cleaned, changed and updated?

I had walked for more than two miles without resting. So I looked at the bench up the trail.
I did need a little rest.

The Florida natural habitat is evident all along the trail in some places. Such as this one below.

For a year or two. Not many people were on the trail. No one knew about it. But that is now changing.

A corner of the boat barn.

A place to stay overnight next to the boat barn.

A closer look at what I call "the boat motel."

The trail canal circles the "Island of Venice." It was developed by the "Army Corp of Engineers."

Looking up the trail. I will come back soon and show you what I see as I move many miles away from where I live.

The bridge tower where the drawbridge controls are located. The operator stays there during the day. I don't know about at night.

The trail goes under the bridge.

Now the trail has many more riders and walkers than a few years ago. Pat and I almost had the trail to ourselves at one time. Now I hear many different languages as the Chamber of Commerce advertises the city in different publications around the world. Tourists and bicycle riders come from everywhere.

Moving off this part of the trail leads to food, shopping, and oh yes. Traffic..............

Another boat goes by while I am at the bridge.

Another little trail leading off to the commerce section of bypass 41.

Steps leading up to the bridge tower.

Safely under the bridge? Maybe. I know that some sleep under the bridge. But I will show that in another post.

We have so much to show and to share about the trail alone. It would take weeks just to cover the items of interest about it alone.
So, we will end this part of our walk and post more later.

But, before we go. Let us find a good song to fill our souls with peace and happiness if we can.
I finally chose this one for us to watch and hear. I really like this one.

C'mon. Be brave. If it needs to be said. Set your soul free. "Just say it."
You may know who you are even now............

All on our beloved Steemt.
It is wonderful now and it is going to be even more in the future.
Thank you
