A Daily Walk With DietPower

Walking is the best exercise for weight loss. And the things you see!

Now look what's happened. One of the skunk-cabbage spathes that I photographed on March 27 is sinking into the bog, while the green spear that shot through the surface on April 2 has begun to unfurl.

Meanwhile, in the background, fragments of red catkins have plopped onto the water. I'm ashamed to say I don't know what kind of tree these are from. If you know, .

Stay tuned—more will happen in the next few days.

(I still haven't received any skunk-cabbage recipes. if you have any.)

About this page: Precisely at noon each day, I step out of my office for a 3.5-mile walk around my Connecticut neighborhood. I carry a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TX5 pocket camera with a Leica 10x optical zoom lens. My object is to make an interesting photograph of at least one thing that is different that day. I post the results here, hoping they will inspire you and your friends to walk, too.  —Terry Dunkle, DietPower founder and CEO.
