It was such a nice afternoon that I took a walk to the Library to pick up some books


Leaving the house	and heading up	the street and	around the corner

Picking up the pathway.	looking back along the path in the other direction (remember this spot, we will be back later)	left across the bridge	A lot of the paths are marked with the name of the street to which they connect

Lots of squirrels to be seen	cross the street and pick up the path	passing one of the many playgrounds located on the path system	Another destination sign

As you can see we have some strange street names here in Columbia	Coming up to another street, in the background you can just see	the village center. Small office and meeting rooms for the village use.	and in the background of the last picture and in this one is an Elem. and Middle school.

Here is another path but not one I am taking	A closer look at the school in passing	There is the Library coming up on the left.	Have to cross the street now

Into the parking lot and the entrance	The foyer with display areas for local artists of all ages	The "New Book" shelves	Inside, looking towards the Reference stacks

CDs, DVD, Video Cassettes and the Fiction Stacks	The hallway leading to the children's wing	On the way home. back where I said to remember the picture	Along the path, a map of the pathways in the Village of Steven's Forest

following the path	we pass another playground then continue to the right	headed for a bridge just around the corner to the right	crossing the bridge, looking up, there is a hawk sitting on the branch

and here is a close up.	continuing on	and up through the woods	what do we see but another hawk.

we are going to take the branch to the right	but first a shot of a woodpecker working his way up the tree	then up the hill	and over into the court and down the street to the left
	Back
and we are back home again. About 2-2 1/2 miles all told.
