Wednesday Walk shots from a few walks this week
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 :)
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
For this week I am sharing shots from a few walks I took over the last week, one or two shots from each spot I visited, to be honest I haven't been walking as much, as far as distance goes over the last week, for no real other good reason other than I have bene struggling with motivation and just been visiting spots and enjoying the cool breeze by the water and watching the sun rise.
But that is all changing from today, I cant be a slacker for walking when I am hosting the Wednesday Walk, so from tomorrow morning I am going to start stepping up my step count each morning when I go out, and start again doing my work outs on the Quest 2 VR headset, I have put on too much weight over the last few weeks and now its time to start loosing some of the weight.
but enough waffling so where did I walk this week
I think these photos are in the order of the walks, Starting by the Pond in Buttonwood park, since we had some rain recently I have swung by the pond to see if the water level has risen, but not as yet the levels is still quite low, not that you can see that in this shot, but near the end of the post I will show that, what caught my eye for this shot was the reflections

Next up I am behind the Cisco Brewery Restaurant on the pier there, and a few months ago they added this walk way which gets lowered down to a little platform, perhaps so people from boats can walk up to go to the restaurant

In the same area, the end of the Harbor Walk, and you can see the gates built into the wall that can close and seal of the road if a heavy storm or hurricane comes in

and on East beach again, one of the odd days I saw some one else taking photos, the long exposure gives a bit of a ghostly effect

And back where I started this post by the pond in Buttonwood Park, this shows better how low the water level is, where I am standing for this shot is normally covered with water and part of the pond

Weekly giveaway of shares
This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @kaminchan, @pablo1601, @mitch18, @ricestreala, @riverflows and @anttn
As @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges
And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive one Hive from me and this week it is @TBA
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
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
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.
Make me Smile Collaboration

Want to have your post on the map too?
These pictures are just wow
Even though you didn't get the distance in on any particular walk, you still have an awesome collection of photos from your different walks.
Yes, I suppose we all have to keep the activity going. All the best with starting your workouts again and with getting those extra steps!
Well my plan was to start today but no walk at all as it happened it was pouring down this morning, but tomorrows another day :)
Yes, the weather is not going to ask your permission...lol.
But as you say...Tomorrow is another day👍!
Tomorrow is looking to be a good day
I'll cross my fingers for you that it's going to be a good day!

It was good to sometimes just laze around the water and cool breeze and sun. We all need that space and alone time to ourselves for recharging.
But good that you get back to walking because it suddenly caused me thinking are we on the same earth? Haha. Why your sky looks so gooddddd. I love all the blue and some hinge of orangey. So mesmerising. Thank you for sharing.
gOOD mORNING, YES i SORELY NEED TO WALK AND EXERCISE MORE i HAVE PUT ON FAR TO MUCH WEIGHT, BUT THAT WILL CHANGE :)
This is my walk... Haha. A lame one. No blue sky whatsoever, just me being interested to walk around son's school again after NOT allowed to go in for almost 3 years due to Covid. Thank you for #WednesdayWalk.
https://hive.blog/hive-155530/@iamjadeline/getting-to-know-more-of
Not a lame one at all :)
Such a variety of colors in your sky shots. The red one is really cool plus the oranges, blues, pinks. The reflection shot is really nice. My favorite of the set. Happy #wednesdaywalk 🙂
Thanks for your visit and feedback, thats the cool think no two sunrises are the same :)
It must be the time of year or something. My motivation has been absolutely zero lately as well. I actually had my alarm set this morning and then I had to get up in the middle of the night and I was like screw it and turned my alarm off. @mrsbozz hasn't been feeling well so she doesn't get up to work out, so I think I use that as an excuse to not get up myself. Beautiful shots by the way!
Maybe it is the season
Yesterday I had no energy at all was a couch potato all day lol
I was the same way last weekend!
Feeling a bit better today, lets see how today goes
You did it again! I love those East Beach photos and the misty harbor. Wonderful photos!
Thanks appreciate your visit and kind support
Always a pleasure visiting your posts :)
thanks so much ;)
Some great shots of Buttonwood park.
Thanks the Park is real close to home so I often swing by the pond :) love it there very tranquill
The pond with the mist is stunning, also the first photograph with the reflections.
Than the sunrises and all it colours, beautiful captures @tattoodjay 😎😊
Hope you are motivated to walk a bit more now. You can do it, especially as the host of the Wednesdaywalk 😉🤓
I won’t be joining today… still packing for Mondays move. Will catch up next Wednesday 😉🤩
Have a lovely day 👋🏻☀️
Focus on getting ready for your move thats what is most important :)
thanks for the feedback and I had plans for a longer walk this morning but the rain came it was pouring down which we sorely needed, ohh well maybe tomorrow i start :)
I will, just checking a few things during a coffee break hear and there 😉🤓
You are welcome 😊
That’s great to hear, the rain part… wished some more would come here. As all countries seem to need it this year.
Tomorrow is another day 😎 maybe some workout at home today.
I hope your move goes smoothly and your settles into the new place quickly and smoothly
Thank you kindly @tattoodjay 😊
Hope it too.
We won’t unpack. It is temporarily… this rental. Until our big move 😉
Have a lovely evening!
Ohh yes of course that makes sense
Thanks 🙏🏻
Of to bed… it was a long busy day.
Enjoy your evening. Good night for later. 👋🏻😴
It is a great idea to walk around and interact with nature as most times we are too busy with blog activities WEDNESDAY WALK gives the hiveans that experience to take a walk and also take some shots and share with friends on hive.
I love the beautiful photos of the sky they are very colorful. Collaboration is yet the best way together you both had done something fantastic this week.
Yes indeed its good for our mind and body to get out and enjoy nature I do truly believe that
It's best for our body systems
Get motivated and start your hikes again. @tattoodjay
I have always loved your photos, especially exposure ones, they are excellent as always.
Thanks I had planned to get a longer walk in this morning but the rain came and put those plans to rest but not complaining we sorely need rain
All your photos are really very amazing dear friend @tattoodjay ❤️❤️❤️ What a breathtaking place. How I wish I could explore such magnificent place. I must say that you are a legend in photography. Superb! If only I could clap here, I would be giving you the loudest applause for an excellent work both in your writing skills and photography 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much :)
I am lucky to have such nice spots fairly close to where i love to visit
So kind of you I have bene doing photography for a long while now its a hobby I really do enjoy
With all honesty, I really enjoyed the breathtaking views dear friend @tattoodjay 🤗❤️❤️❤️ Once again, thanks for your attention.
Cheers Have a great day
Happy to join in again. 🙂
Here is the link with My Wednesday Walk
Welcome back, will visit your post soon
All your pictures are very pretty 😍
Thanks so much
woow these are amazing pictures😍
Thanks so much so kind of you to say
you are welcome
The colors are always deeply seated in beauty, JJ @tattoodjay I think you could stand in the same spot all day and it would still look like 20 different shades of it. No walk, but, there is plenty of evidence that you are all about the walk.
I especially love Butler Flats Lighthouse! The extreme color there is gratifying! The end of the harbor walk has such interesting lines and light. I am thinking we may get early autumn here, although it has been a hot summer and it is still 90 F - the cold front is passing and should bring it back down once again.
It just feels almost over, even though we don't usually get autumn until Late October, I bet we will be seeing color soon. How about you?
I will drop a post in later on today. Sorry I am so late - again. Have a great rest of your day!
On my Wednesday Walk this week, I just focused on one subject: my vegetable patch!

Great pictures from your sunrise walks and I definitely love your resolve to get out more and lose a little bit of weight. Being out walking gets you more immune boosting vitamin D and lots of fresh oxygen for strong lungs. The warm sunrise colors in the blue skies look magnificent . Thank you for sharing and do enjoy Thursday ahead :}
Yes I ndeed so much benefit getting out and about for walks

Simply stunning Jay. Blue is my favourite colour and I lost count of the number of shades of blue that you captured!
So you have low water levels over there. Here is terrible and they are talking about the worst levels for over a thousand years in some places.
I joined in today and here is my post

I think even though it is bad here we are lucky so many other places have it far worse
Thanks 🙏
I also love the blues
Yeah we count our blessings how fortunate we are :)
Gotta love the 🔷🌀🔵💙
Indeed I think that's how we have to be these days try to focus on the good
