Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Strolling

Color
Yes, the flowers are real!  I found them at a local grocery store.  They have a floral department and there were several bundles of these colorful blooms to choose from.  I chose to photograph them, but not purchase.
 
View
Few places offer a better view than the balcony on a cruise ship in Alaska.  The landscape is ever changing and always stunning.
 

Stroll
Two of my favorite places to stroll.  There is a trail on either side of this creek.  It is a part of Compton Gardens in Bentonville, Arkansas.  That structure in the background is Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.  I love to stroll through the galleries there.  The trail connects downtown Bentonville to the museum.  A new exhibit opens in a couple of weeks.  I am already making plans to attend.
 
Outfit
At least one evening on every cruise, dress for dinner requires that you wear a formal outfit.  Very few tuxes are seen, but your best "Sunday-go-to-meetin" clothes will work.
 

Blocks
The decorative concrete masonry units (blocks) were very popular during the late 50's and mid-60's.  Some were made of clay, others in concrete.  I don't believe anyone manufactures them any longer, so if you're restoring a mid-century home and need some of these...good luck.
 
Well that's it for this week's Scavenger Hunt.  Stop by anytime this week for additonal posts.  Have a blessed day.

    You both look very snazzy in your outfits on the cruise.
    Great shot of the blocks. They make for fun patterns.
    The flowers were colorful, you should have bought a bouquet for your lovely wife.

  9. The view in the Alaska photo is beautiful. That is one place I have always wanted to visit. The paths by the creek at the Gardens looks like a great place for a stroll.
