As We Walk Along. We Can Dream..................

"I call you Friends." And that you are.
Why?
Who but a Friend would spend time and upvote my posts faithfully, when you have hundreds of articles and posts available to choose from?
For that I thank you.

Our beloved Steemit gives us lots of opportunities to choose. But, with our choices comes responsibility. We all want to have our Steemit to be the place that the world comes to for quality time spent.

Time is so important to everyone of us.
And for our world viewing Friends.
It is no different. Time moves along swiftly for most of us each day, week, month and year.
The photo is a glimpse of my growing up years. See the time warp? Ha
No, that is not me in the photo nor the house that I grew up in.

My plan for each day is to walk for exercise and show you what I see as I walk along.
This community is such an interesting place to observe the various arrangements of what their ideas may be for curbside appeal.

The people in this community comes from all over the United States and from around the world. One of my good friends is from Taiwan. Others are from California. Some from Europe. Some from New Zealand. Oh, I had better mention Canada. @rebeccaryan would expect that if I am listing "some" of the regions and countries. Ha

Not every home and house is worth a "king's ransom" as you can see. There are homes and houses available in the community that lower income people might be able to afford. Many times these houses are grabbed up and torn down to be replaced with something more in line with today's designs.

And others are being renovated and modernized. For a hefty price to the would be buyers, I will add. So move quickly if you have any interest in Florida homes. The builders and renovators will soon have the houses out of price reach for many.

Not every part of the community is cluttered with houses.
20180102_164247.jpg

This would be considered to be a snapshot of an average home.
If it was for sale. The price range would likely be $250-$300 thousand or more.
That is just a guess for me. I know that those around me are selling high.
The lowest priced, ready to move in home, was $225 thousand a year or two ago.

My walks will always be rewarded in our community.

We can look for some water as well as flowers and houses. Such as this in my walk.
The houses located with waterfront yards and lots are selling for higher prices. Imagine that. lol
20180102_164745.jpg

Most of us like being around the water. A high percentage of the world's people look for water to build next to or at least close.
20180102_164658.jpg

For me now. These views are close enough to easily walk to. So, I have a tendency to move into the direction of the water many times in my walking days.
20180102_164725.jpg

Looking across the water and seeing the other side.
20180102_164734.jpg

A canoe would be fine. Just take your camera with you. Ha
20180102_164854.jpg

I am sorry Friends. We have to go back. We will come back again some other time.
20180102_165617.jpg

I would like to be high and lifted up.
20180102_170112.jpg

But all of you my Friends know me? I am just a "Dreamer?"
No. In my heart of hearts. I try and want to be the "real deal."

And with all that I have shown to you today. "Now I have to leave."
Hmmmm Where did I hear that at? Oh, now I remember.
It was in one of my dreams. I can remember that so well.
But, it hasn't happened yet. And maybe never will?

I thank you for your time and support. Time is so precious to us all.
But.......................For our beloved Steemit.

I have a dream to live at such a place...I think you are lucky...so beautiful...as evident from the pics shared by you.

Thank you @francisk and Have a great day.

Beautiful beautiful....I love these pics and what is the price in "Sun Reality".

Thank you ...seem on and stay blissful....

Many times they do not put the price with the listing sign. You have to call.

Francis

The pics shared by you is not less than a dream for me @francisk.

But may I know which country it is ??/ So lovely...

Yes you can. It is the State of Florida in the USA.
It is one of the better states to live in.
imho

Francis

Your post brings back fine memories of Florida! I loved kayaking in the freshwater canals...so much to see, and so peaceful. I too, am drawn towards the water. Thanks for the nice reminder on this snowy January day!

One thing I have learned over the years. We adjust to the conditions that we are in.
It may not be to our liking at that time and place. But we think we know that is will change at some point in the future.
And it is no different now. The North is cold, while here it is warm. Soon it will be warm up there and hot here. Ugh on the hot. Ha

Francis

Ah yes...the hot! I remember it as well, although not as fondly. You are right..humans are adaptable. Maybe that's why I like to move around every 7-10 years or so. Next stop--perhaps back to the tropical world!

Thank you for being such a dedicated walker and blogger! <3 <3 Warming up our hearts with your colourful photos...I miss the green, I appreciate your sharing.

Oh lyndsaybowes
How I have missed your words and replies. I know that you are overloaded as are many Steemit posters and bloggers. Does the need and workload ever slow down a little?

For me. Not until we see more than what we now presently see on Steemit.
Do we want the masses to finally reach out and take hold of the Steemit offering and opportunity?
I think so and then I know so. Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't that why we labor so hard almost daily?
"Everything has a price," it is said. And we are now paying the price for a limited amount of Steemit success.
Get ready. We are soon going to be overtaken by a tsunami and flood of the masses. I can feel the tremors of the leading edge of that massive outpouring already. Yikes....
Shall we run? No, Francis.
That is what we have been laboring so hard for. To get floated up to the Steemian skies.
Thank you

Francis

I'm with you 100% ready for the tsunami!! :) Great to be early adopters hey?

You're the real deal @francisk...no question in my mind. ;)

Thank you.
But I am not complete. I have not obtained that which I seeketh for.
And I have seen it in my part of the world where I reside.
And it is a beautiful thing to behold.
If I have a small glimpse of what you believe and think.
I need another go around. I could wish that were true.
I am so sorry. I don't have the faith for that.
It isn't that you are not correct.
We are only what we can believe and do believe.

"The Real Deal." No. I am not. But, I have seen it.
I do appreciate you and your thoughts so much.
May you always be "high and lifted up."

Francis

Got it.

Another really nice walk, Francis. The house prices are ridiculously high, like everywhere else when the construction companies and developers move in. Nice music today, Francis. We all like to dream sometimes. As long as we know the difference between the dreams and what is reality.

Dreams and reality.
Reality is that which answers to truth. And the truth is that most of the time we are disappointed.
It may at first be with others that we are disappointed. But, in the end. We know that it is us that
has missed the mark.
If we are wise. We know. If we don't? We soon will.

One more thought about dreams. Just because we may be wise. That doesn't mean that we aren't vulnerable. Oh how well I know that.
Thank you

Francis

Amen, Francis! How true you speak!

I would love more than anything to live near water, I live inland with few waterfront opportunities, but one day I will build a big water feature in my own yard.

What we don't have. That is what we often want. What we have. Many times can become meaningless.
The satisfaction is in the journey. Once we have completed the task. We wave our arms and hands up in joy.
Then after that. It can become commonplace to us.
Water? Where I am now. Water in a swimming pool in the summertime is the most valuable water that I know of.
Only a dry thirsty soul in some sand ridden desert values it more.
Thank you

Francis

You are right, totally. I am surrounded by unbelievable natural beauty, but I have to revisit it through photos, to realise what I have. I can still dream of water though. :)

Francis, thank you for a wonderful ride :) and good photos. Thank you!

And thank you for being one of my most faithful. You never fail to support me and my work.
We all put lots of time and effort in our work. And then...............
Here comes your faithful Friend holding you up in word and encouragement.
And all I can do is say, "thank you."
There is an old saying that comes to my mind.
It is in this regard. "Until you are better repaid." I heard that as a child.
I can still remember it unto this day.

Francis

Thank you for Your kind words, my friend!
