Wednesday walk revisiting Central park
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Note I want to thank @bluemist for sponsoring this challenge for the past many weeks, the support was truly appreciated and I was glad to be able to give away a nice amount to those who joined the walk, :)
Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending some Hive to a selection of those who participate.
Actifit
A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is @actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.
If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out
Make me Smile Collaboration
As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the [Make Me Smile] hosted by @elizacheng,
Here are the rules for her challenge
Your post can be writing, singing, video, poem,drawing, photography etc.... the most important part is your post Make me" smile, Remember, the ME is whoever read/view/listen to your post and this includes YOURSELF.

Thanks for sharing your link, we need to stay positive and keep our hopes high
Great photos as always mate.
Greetings and keep safe.
👍🙂👍
These are all so beautiful Jay! I especially love the second photo with the sunlight hitting the benches. Lol..looks like you weren't the only one out there taking photos! 😉
Thanks for the visit and support ;)
You're very welcome Jay! 💖
👍🙂👍
I wonder how central park must be right now...💀💀
But looking at the second picture made my allergies go woooooo haha!
Nice throwback post!
Ohh yeah this time of year plays havoc with my allergies as well, so with that and the virus staying indoors now
That photo of your favorite part of the park looks great, with the trees reflecting in the water!!
👍🙂👍
Such lovely photos, beautiful memories @tattoodjay, hope you're keeping well and surviving lockdown! Ours is very strict so I have not ventured out even to the stores!
My contribution this week is My Lockdown Paradise
I saw your post, and I to haven't been out for a walk for over a month now, I could as walking is allowed here as long as you social distance, but so many out walking ignore that and will walk right up to you, plus with he allergy levels and on advise from the Dr, I am staying in to be safe, also haven't been to the stores I get what we need delivered
I knew if I left this post to be the last to read today it would uplift me, after the tedious task of shopping this morning wearing gloves and mask!
Yeah I was right, this park fascinates me, the feeling of being out in the country when living or working in a city environment, excellent photography!
Will be back tomorrow with a post hopefully, too knackered to bother after the rigmarole of reorganizing the home. Have a wonderful day and thanks for mention in previous walk.
Thats such a kind comment I ma glad it uplifted you :)
Take some time to rest and look after yourself tomorrow is another day and nothing is that urgent these days :)
Rushing never gets us anywhere. Relaxing after mad dash, photo's of serene places water reflections stretching the mind somewhere else, yes I will get stuck in again today.
👍🙂👍
No walks for me sadly. The weather has been way to cold and I am trying to take it easy with my leg. These are some great shots! I can't wait for the warmer days to get here!
taking it easy and letting your leg heal makes such good sense, I to am looking forward to warmer days
I think especially in these days such beautiful photos and memories are very important for us to keep thinking positive. One soon day you will be able to walk through the Central Park again JJ 😊

It's amazing how much the parks can resemble each other, even if they are separated by an ... ocean. The largest park in Bucharest, which is now called King Michael Park, has parts that look like what I see in your photos.
I have to say that I like your photos, all your photos.
Thanks for the mention and prize, made me great joy!
I guess the beauty of nature is universal all around the world
Of course!
👍🙂👍
Archives or not, you cannot take away the beauty this gives out! You always nail it with all of the nature you present us for your walks...
Central Part is always so beautiful or your camera paints it beautiful. I love the gentle paths that wind you through it.
Happy Earth Day! A stunning way to celebrate!
Upped and reposted

I love the photo of the trees' reflection in the pond. I hope you get the opportunity to get out and walk soon. With all the stay home advisories it wise to stay in.
i stopped to walk around a fallen tree the other day. I shared the photos today in my Wednesday Walk Post.
Stay safe my friend!
thanks and it wont be to long till the pollen levels drop and the virus restrictions are eased, till then best tobe safe :(
I have never gotten to walk in Central Park the 2 times I visited NY City. I would love to see it when it is really pretty like your above photos! Someday when it is safe to visit, I need to take my husband on a trip to NY City. He has never been there. Probably will wait a year or so...
Here's my post.
