Walking

Continued day stroll in the country for the sake of the fresh air and the sight of the green world around him. There are Boy Scouts with knapsacks and stray pots and pans on their backs. There are high-school teachers with groups of students armed with collecting jars. There are sturdy grandparents with skipping grandchildren. There is the hefty chap walking to take off weight and the thin man walking to get up an appetite. There is no end to the caste of walk-on characters. Many of my own walks are birding expeditions. Others are planned botanical excursions such as trips to upland bogs at certain seasons to find the rhodora, arethusa, calopogon, or rose pogonia in bloom. I always carry my field glasses slung around my neck and a magnifying glass in my pocket. The magnifying glass comes into play in looking more closely at the pistils and stamens of small flowers or in getting a better view of plant galls, tiny forms of insect life or other curiosities found along the way. I have friends and neighbors of similar inclinations, and we go regularly afield together. I long ago discovered that a pleasure shared is a pleasure doubled, and good companionship adds much to the joy of traveling afoot in the open. We have been walking together for some years now and we have a seasonal schedule or annual calendar of events. Certain lanes and footpaths are best in the springtime. Certain roads are followed to get the best view of the colored foliage in autumn. We prefer shady lanes and old wood roads in summer. We are close to the ocean, and in the winter we find the seemingly empty beaches full of interesting things. As a matter of fact, I believe I enjoy walking anywhere—to the store, to the station, to the library, to the post office, or to church. That it may be good for my health is a mere by-product so far as I am concerned. I am not trying to put over any physical-fitness propaganda. My point is that walking is wonderful and that, if you aren't in on it, you are missing something priceless that you can get for a total cost of nothing on the hoof.
